Back Home, Finally (and Barely Functioning)
Well, we made it back home this morning — hallelujah and pass the coffee! The trip was actually great. We had the best time visiting everyone, running all over creation, and trying to pretend we weren’t exhausted. Jimmy’s memorial was beautiful, and I swear he was right there with us the whole time. I even got his […]
Back in the Bluegrass
Well, here we are – 8 a.m. on a Thursday, and guess what? We’re back in Kentucky. The second we crossed that state line, it felt like home wrapped us in a hug… then immediately smacked us with a brisk 58-degree morning chill. Don’t get too comfortable, though—my weather app is already predicting high 80s […]
Buckle Up, Besties… It’s Gonna Be a Week
Whew. Y’all, we’ve got ourselves a busy week ahead. Pack the bags, load the snacks, and say a prayer for my sanity—we’re heading back to Kentucky. This weekend is Jimmy’s memorial service. Part of me wants to go with all my heart, because honoring my big brother is the least I can do. But the other part […]
Long Days, Heavy Bags, and a Little Bit of Relief

At 6:30 a.m., bright-eyed and not-so-bushy-tailed, I walked into Moffitt Cancer Center for my 210-minute Dextran iron infusion. That’s three and a half hours, folks, but spoiler alert—it turned into seven […]
Hematology Appointment: Finally, Somebody’s Trying to Fix Me
Well, folks, the hematology appointment was actually a success. Can I get an amen? At least somebody is finally going to try and fix whatever my 44-year-old body thinks it’s doing pretending to be 70. I’ll be getting my very first—and Lord willing, my only—210-minute iron infusion in the next couple of days. They even had an opening […]
2025 Sucks! (And Yes, I Said That as Politely as Possible)
Y’all, let me just go ahead and put it out there: 2025 has been straight-up trash. And that’s me saying it in the most polite, ladylike way I can manage, because this is a family blog. What I really want to say would probably get me kicked off the internet. In February, I lost my Nannie—my best […]
