...since it has been so long...

life has been full of crazy shit lately, which has had me running around like mad and in no mood to supply updates and whatnot.

so, (finally) here is what's new:

1. we got a puppy we named milo agathon...he is WONDERFUL



that was him at 6 weeks and then again at 9 weeks or so. he is much bigger now (16 weeks), but i still need to take new photos.

2. we have a new place...we now live in a loft over a restaurant in downtown bozeman...it is very nice, and we are enjoying it very much. official move in date was 3/15...





3. i am DONE with chemo...the last taxol was a bitch...i have never cried so hard and so long from physical pain in my entire life...no pills helped...just had to let it pass...i started rads on 4/23 and will be done on 6/6. so far, so good...that tattooed me with four dots so that they are sure to line me up correctly each time...i am growing fine, fuzzy, light colored hair in the places i was once bald...and they are planning on removing my port-a-cath on 5/12.

4. i am losing my job as of tomorrow...yep, that is right....i am looking for something else, and will post the ups and downs of looking for and landing a new job while being in cancer treatment and having no hair. i am not going to post details about it yet, as i am going to talk to a lawyer first....so stay tuned for more of my exciting employment adventures!

5. i found a mma school that i might start attending once the port-a-cath is removed:

6. i start back to school on 7/7 in a PhD program for IT Project Management...so, soon you will all be calling me "doctor"...LOL...i will post more on this as i get into my classes...i am so excited!!!

so, that is my current life in a nut shell...now i am going to go read a bit before napping (we took a nice long walk with the puppy this afternoon up peet's hill...and now i am tuckered out)...
