I have had an unpleasant day and I have no doubt that I am over-reacting but I am still just feeling tired and crabby.  (Even after eating cookies!) With the continuing issues with the equipment at the Kaiser Cancer Treatment Center, my radiation treatment schedule is just fucked.  Today I had my treatment at 1:45…

A song performed by Pearl Bailey in St Louis Woman. Be assured the counting problems were all me and not the fabulous Steven Applegate tickling the ivories. Clearly, I should have rehearsed more! But I still love the song! And I don’t stink up the place.

Yup. I did it. Or rather, I got it done to me. Thank you to all the recommendations my local peeps proffered. I went with Edie Pollack Kerr’s hairstylist, who happens to be at a salon not far from my house. She’s a really nice lady and she listened to what I wanted and did…

My attitude about hair length has come full circle.  When I was a wee one, my mom always had me get pixie cuts. I HATED it.  I wanted, nay yearned for, long flowing locks.  But my mother was adamant – as long as I was too young to take care of my own hair; it…

I have not been in the best of moods lately. Another run-in with Kaiser psychiatric department. My back (suspect it’s the QL muscle) is still fucked up. So when this showed up on our doorstep today, it was just what I needed. Perhaps, someday, I’ll share the twisted tale of all that went into my…

Getting radiation treatment I have met several technicians and been witness to how they each deal with the body of a fat old lady. They are all very clear that I should let them know if anything they do causes pain.  They are all respectful; but it is apparent that some are not comfortable (for…

I lived in various parts of the San Fernando Valley.  When I first moved to LA I was such a snob and swore I’d never live in the Valley.  Truth is, there’s nothing wrong with living in the Valley –parking is better and the rent is cheaper.  It is definitely the ‘burbs, but so what? …
