39 on Sunday. I don't believe it... How am I actually that old? This year, to be frank, was shit. Here is hoping Sunday will be the start of a cancer-free year around the sun.

#selfie Not a bad selfie for being in constant and consistent pain post-radiation. I still look at myself and can't believe I have - but can't wait to say had - cancer. Cancer is the fucking worst.

@MusicOfLee We used to have sessions to read student composer works in uni orchestra and it's seriously laughable how many people had no idea what instruments couldn't do. Like helloooooo.

@SixofOne9 @brandonhli @Lunens__ @Airbnb I work front desk and for the love of god, yes, always book direct. I'd be here all day listing why but mainly because you are not out priority for anything hotel related if you book Expedia etc. And it's rarely the cheaper option.

@beejangles Met a guy in the city for lunch, afterwards went shopping at Burberry (his choice, not mine) and proceeded to text me for an hour (by accident) bitching about me and how I made him spend all this money. And then tried to backtracked when I was like wtf?

@ElleRows @Bhytes1 when we are asked at like 5 years old "is she your girlfriend", when you're in high school "why don't you have a girlfriend? what's wrong with you?" or you do anything odd and your peers tell you to not be so gay- the teacher with a pride flag really isn't the fucking issue.

So my radiation oncologist told me the last time I saw her, that I need to lay in bed with a fan in my crotch. She said I could use a hair dryer instead. No. That makes it feel even weirder... *I whisper to myself repeatedly* It's nearly over *As I position the fan in my crotch*

They told me I could ring the bell today after my injection, but I declined as I am not done treatment. Also, I only had two days of chemo injections so it's a bit weird (in my brain anyways) to do that. My goal is the radiation gong. Can't. Wait.
