This for me is peak meme. Everyone else go home. @Shakespeare themarysue.com/distracted-ha…
My childhood best friend (who isn’t on here) flew in like a force of nature to get me from inpatient on Thursday to chemo on Friday to a plane to STL right now so that I can start radiation as soon as possible. She’s the best person I know and I’m sure glad she’s on MY side!!

Yes, even after my 3-day hospital stay for a stroke/brain metastasis I am getting chemo today. The worried look isn’t just facial paralysis but I’m confident I won’t have the same thing happen as last week! Send me further BAMF points anytime!
Second hospital day with a month of hair growth, new brain metastases, and a crooked smile from facial paralysis from a freakin’ stroke (but I’m telling people it’s from a knife fight). Cancer isn’t always pink or cute or curable. But I want it visible anyway.
Now what costume should this hair become:
51%Natalie Portman
24%2007 Britney
24%Millie Bobby Brown
0%Something newer (I’m old)
82 votes • Final resultsYou know what’s an excellently dumb show to rewatch while stuck in the hospital? True Blood. Thank you, 2008-2014.
Actually though, I always felt this show was our own example of the MOST camp and gory and sexy Jacobean plays…it’s what Ford, Webster, etc. would have done if they had TV.
Also there was an entire season about the Eucharist controversy in the vampire church.
Shoutout to this fine example of Dads and the pets they say they don’t want / won’t accept on their lap / claim not to want to cuddle. (And a reminder that I miss Percy every single day.)

Six weeks off treatment means the cancer is currently winning. Let’s hope this new chemo changes that!
Happy one-year anniversary to my mastectomy and reconstruction! Cancer is still bloody hard every day but this turned out beautifully and made me feel much better about my body again.
Couldn’t agree more! At least for breast cancer, stage 4 (metastatic) disease kills the most patients by far but gets less than 5% of research funding. #StageIVNeedsMore Check out @metavivor if you want to donate to research.
I don’t care how obviously fake Bruce the shark is this would have absolutely terrified me at any age.
My distraction activity, which I do when I feel my worst and need comfort, is rewatching Gilmore Girls. I’m only 5 episodes into S1 if you want to join me. I will happily start a group chat about it! Doesn’t matter if you’ve seen it already or not.
