Today is one year since we got the news that Lindsay was in remission. I remember how casually she texted me about it and how much I cried. Tomorrow is eight months since Lindsay passed away. Each day it becomes less believable. I have our pictures hanging in my cubicle at work and one by… Continue reading Thoughts
Three months and two days since Lindsay left us. Three months and thirteen days since we last spoke. I’ve been planning out blog posts for awhile now. Writing bits and pieces in my notes, in my head when I’m trying to fall asleep, saving drafts then deleting them. None ever feel right, though, after the… Continue reading Three Months
This whole 2016 election process has been a whirlwind, especially the last 24 hours or so. I do not want to say anything negative about either candidate or their supporters and will try my best not to do so. I’m just here to touch on three things I’ve seen a lot of since the announcement.… Continue reading 2016 Election
I wish I could say everyday has gotten easier, but it’s only been a week, and I’d be lying. I constantly catch myself about to text you. About to tag you in a random internet post like we did at least ten times a day. About to send you a picture with the latest silly… Continue reading One Week
I know I don’t need to be writing this today, less than 24 hours after the fact, but more than one person has told me I need to carry out this blog now. It is my duty as co-creator and best friend to keep Kindred going. It is our little love child, after all. And there… Continue reading I Love You
As mentioned previously, Fall is my favorite time of year. There may still be 19 days until it’s official, but that hasn’t stopped me from beginning to decorate. I was looking for something quick and simple to put around the house and decorate my desk at work. I stumbled across a great YouTube tutorial for little… Continue reading Origami Pumpkin How-To
Man oh man. Today is day +29. Things have been crazy around here. I’m typing this from my tablet, so this probably won’t be super lengthy. I really just wanted to write down a little update in the form of a list. Highlights On day +24, my blood work came back showing an ANC and… Continue reading The Bone Marrow Chronicles, Part Six
Those of you who know me in real life know how much I hate baking. I don’t have the patience for it at all, and I’m more of a 3 ingredients or less kind of girl. So naturally I was going to take the easy way out for Ryan’s birthday and buy him an ice… Continue reading He Want That Cake
It’s been a while since I’ve written, so I thought I’d put fingers to the keyboard today. Most of you probably know that my original discharge date was day +14. However, I’m still sitting here at Mayo Clinic on day +16. I’ve been on Neupogen shots since day +9. For those of you who aren’t… Continue reading The Bone Marrow Chronicles, Part Five
November 24, 2007 House of Blues, Atlantic City, NJ The first time I saw Boy Like Girls, my first kind of big concert. My mom had the lamest rule ever that we couldn’t attend our first concert until we were 16. So when my sister saw Britney Spears in 2001, I wasn’t allowed to go. Life… Continue reading Your Voice Was The Soundtrack Of My Summer
