I once had packing down to a science. Whether it was an overnight to the cabin or a 4 week road trip, I pretty much had the system down.
Today, I'm leaving town for the first time since chemo. It's just the weekend and it's to the cabin. Simple. I keep some clothes there and a hairdryer... Wait. I don't need that. But there's all this new stuff I have to think about. Should I wear my wig in the car or carry it in a box? Wig stand? That's ridiculous, to have to pack a wig stand. I wouldn't bring it at all, but there's a birthday outing for my daughter and I want to have the option. Oops, I almost forgot my thermometer and log book. I still take my temp twice daily for the med study I'm in. And there are a few meds I shouldn't leave behind. My pillow? I'm not a person who packs a pillow, but I've gotten pickier with sleep. And then there are birthday goodies and food to pack. We're having a celebration and I'm excited. Did I pack the decorations? It will be interesting to find out what my chemo brain forgot, when we get there!

Not-So-Happy List
Cancer, Covid & Coronary... I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done. On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021. CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C". Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent! I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post! Navigating This Mess! The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016. To find past posts, look below the "Archives" section, to find "Categories". Archives
