The Beginning

Hello!    You may be new here, some may have come across this randomly, while some may have come from my page on Wordpress. I like Blogger better for creative reasons (shh! Don't tell Wordpress!). I am 23 and living with a Grade 3 Oligoastrocytoma in my brain. I have brain cancer. And I rock it because I'm fabulous!    I hope you enjoy my blog and my life. I am going to try to post at least once a week, which may be hard because I am also a college student graduating in December! WOO! I'm a little excited. But I am going to try.    My little About Me section; I live in North Carolina, was diagnosed in January 2014. I have had two craniotomies to remove the tumor, both went great. I have gone through radiation and chemotherapy to stop the growth of what they couldn't take out. I still take the chemo pills once a month to continue to prevent growth.    It's a long process but hey, I still wake up every day.

The Keto Diet...

   So I started something new. My boyfriend and I decided to try the keto diet. It is a low carb, high fat diet that is supposed to help you eat healthy and lose weight.

We were eating lots of salads and meats, with just the minor change of not cooking rice with most meals and not bread. You have no idea how much I miss bread! All I want is a huge plate of fettuccine alfredo with a big piece of garlic bread right now.    The hardest part to get used to was no sugar in our coffee. I am the worst and put so much sugar in my cup that I would have a layer at the bottom after I drank it. That was the hardest thing to do, cut out the sugar entirely. It took a few days but I was able to just have cream and now I prefer my coffee that way.    I am still learning what we can eat, and what we can't. I am finding recipes an...

Wind and Rain and Flooding...Oh My!

   This past week every radio and news station has only covered Hurricane Florence and the devastation she left in her path. We have family out in Wilmington, where surges and flooding destroyed businesses and homes. Trees were pulled from their roots and crushed houses and cars. Our family is safe but others had to be rescued by boat as they watched their entire lives be swallowed by water.    Because I live near the South Carolina border and Charlotte, we didn't get as much damage as the coastal cities, but we got a hell of a lot of rain. My office was closed on Friday as well as schools, thinking it was going to start then but it was just the beginning of the gloomy clouds and overcast skies that controlled the weekend. The rain didn't start until the middle of the night.    What do you do when you have three dogs, an eleven year old boy, and can't go outside? Well, we cooked breakfast and dinner. He beat me at Clue, Sorry, and Monopoly. I didn't let h...
