It's been nearly four months since I last posted.
          
          Goodness, where has the time gone?
          
          The treatment's been rough, my hair's hitting the rebellious phase of growth where curls are a must, and July was a pretty busy month.
          
          Now, I'm taking a class, I had upgraded my laptop due to taking a class, and I know everyone's wondering when I'm going to update. Well, I guess I'm going to have to get back into writing, even if it is small chunks.
          
          I admit that I am crocheting more than I care to admit, even around the treatments I have had (though not as much). Recently, I had to make multiples of the same thing and had to use a box to hold them until I was ready to assemble them. I may have to make more and actually post it when I get the chance due to the cuteness factor.
          
          When I do update one of the stories, I will make sure to announce it. 
          
          All I can say is that there are bats hanging out at my job, although several of them flew away recently. I still have some to deal with.

Ah, I haven't updated since December of last year. I suppose I should give a long overdue update.
          
          Back in January, I had attempted to get into some clinical trials, but was disqualified due to one of the test results. As a result, I returned to my regular doctor in March and started treatment a week later.
          
          While this was going on, I was crocheting a great deal, and making money on the side due to my creations. Mostly, I would make stuffed animals, though I did make some hats because some people were interested in buying the one I made for myself to wear.
          
          Then, I started my new treatment a month ago, and I learned that I cannot do repetitive movements for long periods of time for about a week. I was clearly not happy about this because crocheting is considered one of those things I have to cut back on. It didn't stop me from creating mini projects or doing five rabbits around Easter.
          
          I have been taking most of my finished projects to work to show to others and decorating my station. My latest jackalope is currently guarding my desk, and was made shortly after I made one for someone who ordered one as a challenge. I may make other ones in various colors and using my needle felting technique to sculpt the antlers.
          
          I am already considering the idea of posting my crochet art on here because I have made a lot of interesting things lately, but I seriously need to stop long enough to do it. I also need to prepare a website since I have people wondering what I am making, so that's on my to-do list for sure now.
          
          Anyway, I hope to be posting something soon. Whether it is a story or some pictures, I'll keep you updated.

Merry Christmas everyone!
          
          Yes, yes, I know that I haven't posted anything since September. I had my hands full, especially with work, doctor's appointments, two additional chemo sessions (in November and December), and plans to start a crafting business within the new year.
          
          You might be wondering why I would start a crafting business. Well, near the end of last month, I decided to prepare myself for a craft show, not really expecting a lot and opted to sell jewelry at first.
          
          That changed the following day when I brought my crocheting (due to getting comments about a hat I made), and I ended up getting more orders left and right. Needless to say, I finally realized the earning potential and decided to go ahead and pursue crafting as a side hustle.
          
          Due to this new idea, I had neglected to finish a blanket I had wanted to do, and I am getting back into working on it. I plan to finish it within the next week and get it off the craft table before working on my other projects that I have decided to take under my belt.
          
          By next Monday, I am hoping that the scan I have will promote good news for the upcoming new year, even leading to a possible surgery that has been delayed. If that happens, I will have to deal with it.
          
          My wish is that afterwards, I can start pulling together products to sell for the upcoming craft shows I wish to take part in. I also plan to eventually create a website to promote selling through Facebook and other social media.
          
          But first, I need to get a blanket done before I'm delayed even further.
          
          All the same, I wish everyone else a happy holidays and look forward to (eventually) updating my stories within the new year when there is time.

As September is coming to an end, I am mentally preparing myself for everything I'm about to go through next week since it will be my fifth chemo.
          
          The rain and wind from Helene was rather intense, knocking around the neighbor's smaller trees. Thankfully, it was nothing compared to Ike and didn't knock out the power that long.
          
          Still, I am going to be busy going into this weekend, and I'm going to have to spend time sketching for my class.
          
          Where did this month go anyway?

Just had my fourth round of chemo today. I lost about half of the hair on my head, but what's left is still growing out after being clipped. I just have two more rounds to go through in October.
          
          Deciding to pick up charcoal this fall, I enrolled in a drawing class to support one of my friends and hopefully get her into a healthy hobby. It didn't take long for the teacher to notice the difference in drawing abilities, but he was very nice and supportive towards my friend. The teacher did want me to push my artistic skills a bit more after he saw my drawing, and I really think I should.
          
          The only issue is that I'm probably going to be dealing with the side effects on Monday because I had felt how bad I get four days after chemo. While I want to be able to go to work and give my all, I have a feeling that I'm going to probably feel exhausted. 
          
          The last time I decided to do this was at the end of August, and immediately after I returned home, I was absolutely wiped out. I fell asleep until nearly 9 that night, woken up to get something to eat. I went to bed afterwards and slept as much as possible to recover. Tuesday went much better as I easily handled everything like nothing happened the day before.
          
          Then, I am still crocheting blankets. Mom's pretty much banned me from bringing more yarn into the house until I use my stash, though I did receive a bit more from a friend back on Sunday. I plan to use that for personal projects due to the weight difference in the yarn textures.
          
          At some point, I will post my finished creations that I poured a lot of time into because I think I want to prepare myself to make more. I have about three more planned, one I'm going to finish, and hopefully get back to stuffed animals because I have to get things ready for the holidays.
          
          Let's hope I can get the orders done.

Been a few months since I last posted due to how busy I have been.
          
          Between appointments, work, crocheting and life, I had no desire to really write until this evening when I realized I hadn't finished a challenge.
          
          I really should have posted sooner really, but I did have to take care of myself due to restarting chemo about a month ago. Cancer is a rough thing to deal with, but at least it's not as bad as it was three years ago.
          
          I am hoping that by the end of October, I should be in a better place. By then, I should be growing out my hair again.
          
          For now, I'll rock the bald look.

At this point, I'm sure things are fine. It's just raining hard, and I just want to go back upstairs to crochet. Peabo is just antsy, and absolutely confused about why we are STILL in the basement.
          
          I do hope my brother gets home safely since he barely left work when he had to turn around to bunker down at his job. I'm sure he's going to be grumpy.
          
          On a positive note, I didn't lose power during the hour I spent down here.
          
          The Wi-Fi connection is a different story...

Still hunkering down in the basement after hearing the sirens outside.
          
          Jack's behavior is normal while Peabo is wondering why we're all down here.
          
          The tornado warning has yet to end, and I want to continue the Raichu I've been itching to make.
          
          And can the weather alarm clock just STOP going off?!

I hope that there's no tornado coming. Might lose power tonight, but I'll take that over a tornado.

After reading a certain writer's latest chapters, I am suddenly hit by the inspiration to write more snippets.
          
          These will be posted soon, and I hope these will be to everyone's liking.
