The rose garden at Fort Stevens before the summer solstice in 2026. It’s looking very good this year indeed.

The ocean walk with J June 2026

I had a tough week.

The weather was nice though, I had a nice bike ride. I had a chipmunk climb up me. I lost weight. I walked a lot. I felt stronger, slept better, and withstood another of those super dark days without getting sick.

It’s coming up on a year since surgery.

I’m doing alternate day fasting, it’s okay. I haven’t been hungry anyway. I dread eating. I have trouble with sucralose causing anxiety anyway, so I am trying to stay away from that.

My husband isn’t doing well health wise. He is trying to get scheduled for a biopsy.
