I went back to work today after 5 weeks off and working from home for a few months before that. I still wish I didn’t have to have a job, but I guess if I must then the one I have is pretty great.
The way all the delivery apps make me feel nauseous to scroll through now bc I’d scroll for hours when I was sick from chemo just dreaming about when I could eat anything I wanted again 🤢

Hello. Today someone told me my cancer is actually a gift from God and I am not over it. I’d say most people actively fighting cancer would like to know the return policy. Can I get store credit for some other affliction or how does this work?
I’m feeling a little better today AND a pair of Nike shorts that haven’t fit in a couple of years fit today. Was it worth it after being so sick? No. Not at all. But it isn’t the worst outcome.
Also don’t @ me with you clear liquid, BRAT diet tips. My body doesn’t care. My body doesn’t discriminate in that way. So I might as well eat a mozzarella stick if it sounds good.
Tell me why I’ve thrown up everyday for the last EIGHT DAYS and I just sent drew for mozzarella sticks knowing full well what the end result will be. The heart wants what it wants.
Of course, all of the meals and gifts and cards have meant a ton to me too (like a lot a lot), but these are the things I just would never think of to do for someone if the roles were reversed.
Some of my friends have my chemo days in their calendars or they are just good at remembering dates and they text me the day before or day of to check in. And I’m surprised by how much it means to me. Recommend you do this for your friends going through similar things.
Anyway, I really struggle to come up with ways to care for people on practical, helpful ways and so I thought I’d share things that have meant a lot to me in case y’all are like me in this way and looking for ways to support someone else you know going through a Thing.
Other friends have pooled together to pay for a housekeeper to come clean my house the day before treatments and it’s been amazing. Being sick in a clean house is so…is nice the right word? Comforting? It just helps a lot y’all.
