I enjoy cookbooks a lot. I get a lot of ideas from them. I also get a lot of ideas from magazines that have recipes too, but how do you save them without them ripping or becoming a crumble up mess or having a big bulky box of recipes in a box? Here is novel...

I have been procrastinating on a couple of my projects. I am frustrated by this aspect. With my book “Beyond the Trach” I am stuck on the chapter on making choices. I am doing what I normally do when I get stuck on a subject and I am resisting writing or doing...

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I did. I rested a lot, read a couple of books, journaled a lot, and even enjoyed some commodore in the media room over a Seattle Seahawks game. I find it fascinating that strangers can all cheer and act like...

I wish I had this book when I was first living out on my own with all the information on how to buy, store, and prepare vegetables, meat, spices, and many other things. “My Cooking Coach” I find to still be useful even if I am a cooking machine. The...

I am in a reflective mood. Yesterday, I drove to Seattle to see my Rheumatologist Dr. Gardner at the UW Medical Center. I was once again reminded about how amazing my doctors have been. On November 17th, 2013 I woke up with my hand swollen and hurting. I couldn’t do...

This week has been a rough week. I ended up having to go to the ER over my left hand swelling up. It seems like by the 5th month after my Rituximab chemo treatment some body part swells up and makes my life a challenge. I hate that. This time I ended up in the...
