Autumn is approaching

I can tell, not because it's August, but because it's 6 AM, and it's barely light outside.

I can remember not too long ago, easily getting up at 5:30 AM, because it was already bright outside, and the sun was shining.  Lately though, I'm barely able to drag myself out of bed at 6 AM, and I don't like it. And oh the humidity.......

Plus things aren't getting any better. After autumn, comes winter, and I really hate the winter. [BIG SIGH]

If only we could find a way to slow down the passage of time.

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba...

My concerns reaffirmed today

When I was first diagnosed with MCL, I pretty much read just about everything I could get my hands on, I attended various conferences, and I talked to anyone who would listen. One of the most important lessons I learned, and which I've mentioned numerous times before was No one cares more about you than you. But in addition to that, I learned to fear the drug Doxorubicin , AKA Adriamycin, Doxil, Hydroxydoxorubicin, or more affectionately the Red Devil. Besides being a deadly chemical, as is the case with most chemotherapy drugs, it is one of the few chemotherapy drugs known to cause permanent heart damage. I even heard Dr. Sandra Horning , a noted Stanford lymphoma specialist, state at the first lymphoma conference I attended in LA, there was no evidence Doxorubicin provided any added benefit to chemotherapy protocols. This was music to my ears, since Doxorubicin is very common in most lymphoma treatment protocols. And even though Dr. Horning has since changed her tune [which my sk...

Chloe's back

A very nice young kid called about 10:30 last night, indicating he found her. Four days she was gone, and it's a good thing he found her then, because she was about 5 blocks away, right at a major intersection with lots of traffic. Who knows what might have happened if he hadn't found her then. She was a little disheveled, but didn't look the worse for wear. Of course the first thing she did when we got her home was head straight for the food. Now all she seems to want to do is sleep. She slept with us the entire night, and today, she's spent the entire day on our bed. It must have been a very trying ordeal for her. I guess it's true that cats have 9 lives. The problem is at this rate (this is the second time she's disappeared), Chloe's going to use hers up before she turns 3 (She's not even 2 yet). But Edie and Morris are happy now. Ok, maybe Morris not so much, but Edie was much relieved.
