It's a Mousey kind of Life

What is going on

I've been having mostly good days the past couple of weeks, maybe longer than that. I started writing again about a month ago. I've been doing it longhand as my laptop decided to become an oversized paperweight. Actually, I think this old school approach is inspiring me. It is giving me memories of the feelings I had when I first discovered and fell in love with writing.

After tomorrow, I have eight sessions left of radiation therapy. I am excited and fearful all at once. The only alternative/step left after that is surgery. I am apprehensive of what life will be like when it is over.

I am finding out that a lot of the setbacks I've been having (mostly physical) are moreover due to aging and factors other than my cancer and its treatments. My somewhat uncontrolled diabetes is a major contributor as is my mental health status and its treatments.

I'm going to have to start keeping a timeline diary of my activities. My memory has taken a major nosedive and I can't keep track of daily routines like taking medications and eating meals. I'm going to try to start getting in the habit of it beginning in December so that I'll have a better understanding of what I am trying to accomplish with it by the new year.

I am not very hopeful for the forseeable future as winter is about to set in, but I will keep dealing one day at a time.
