It's weird and beautiful and I like it but it's not right. At all! We are the Third most warmed City in the nation and Phoenix is behind at number 4 and we had almost a hundred days with no precipitation and no Monsoon now this? Wild!

This is beyond weird. This is the Sonoran Desert where the temperatures this year where the highest on record and we went close to a hundred days without any precipitation at all. Global colding?
What's white and sticky and falls from the sky? In Tucson Arizona you got to be joking. I've been here since I was 17 and I used to come when I was a kid to visit my grandma before that I've seen this one time. Snow in Tucson OMG!

Just finished my first interview with the Ph.D. coordinator at Prescott College (Got my B.A. there) and it was love at first word! Flavor on a birthday, a gift for life. I am so grateful as this is because you kept me alive and let me be me despite my extremist nature. Thank you.

Glad to BE around. Now to healthier years where I can see people F2F again. That would be so awesome.

My most sincere thoughts that all is fine and benign. And yes, real cake after that for sure. Good luck and keep me posted. If you were here and needed onco, I know the greatest onco/hemo doc here. Brilliant and fierce and lovely. In NV mine was nice, lazy and wrong.

Thanks Alison! And my allowed favorite: Virtual cake! And no calories (which is no longer an issue since dropping an entire human in weight, good I had it to lose! I joke I went on the DIEt. :) )

:: me looks down :: Um, standard US uniform, jeans and a t-shirt. I have no kilt, but I can use a skirt and follow tradition by removing anything under it while reciting Burns. My husband? Scottish dad, Mom was Comanche and Hopi. Called "the whitest indian on the reservation."

I'm so excited and it's really refreshing to put my brain to work again. I can focus now off Prozac, one year now. It was not just hurting behavior, but since off, my white cells moved up for the first time in decades. Even my platetlets came up from 50k to 70k and holding!

I got my most desired birthday present possible this year: Democratic leadership for the USA and most of Arizona (we have a few red stains to clean up still). Fact: Blue is the most universally accepted color culturally. Now for the hard work, and for elsewhere in this world. 🕊️

As many know Facebook has a charity donation for birthdays. There is no one charity at this time alone addressing the issues of social justice and climate awareness, so I have a few. First? DONATE BLOOD OR PLATELETS please, if you are able to. Blood products save many lives. (me)

Because my birthday was also my parent's 5th anniversary, Dad gave Mom a chocolate cake. First child so despite her doc saying stop eating when contractions started, she didn't and ate the whole cake! This is why I'm so so sweet! (family joke haha).

From the book of oddities, my mother and father were married on January 25th 1958, five years later to the day and nearly exact time, on a Friday. I was born. It's no wonder I got all tweety about family yesterday. I didn't realize it 'til just now.

I think of you a lot. Especially lately when thinking and writing about not always the best sides of my mother. She was truly great in teaching, leadership and social justice, and for those gifts I am honored to know she is remembered with fondness. Thank you so much xo/m
Despite 8 years now as an oncology/hematology patient with a deadly disorder and two heart deaths, I have made it to 58 years old when I wasn't supposed to survive my 20s. Each year lived is a triumph, and I'm here largely due to everyone who helped with treatments, living. xo/m
