Posted on 2026-07-202026-07-20 By Q No Comments on July 20th – Back when it was easy

I am a bit surprised that my mother has not called me today and now that I think of it, we probably should have gone over to my parents for dinner but things were a bit hectic and we were not able to go. I am not sure what she would have made for me…

July 19th – Bring on the Psychics

Posted on 2026-07-192026-07-19 By Q No Comments on July 19th – Bring on the Psychics

I am exhausted today. I am a bit surprised about how tired I am and it kind of hit me this afternoon at half time of the World Cup. We attended the celebration of life and I ended up standing for 2 hours as all of the tables were full and I did not know…

Posted on 2026-07-172026-07-17 By Q No Comments on July 17th – Pig Roast Eve

Today has been quite crazy as we prep for tomorrow. The morning started with a message from a friend that requested Xavier go help out at the new facility creating ice. Xavier was sleeping and I had meetings in the morning so I could not ask him yet. He of course said yes and went…

July 16th – Lights and Sounds

Posted on 2026-07-162026-07-16 By Q No Comments on July 16th – Lights and Sounds

Xavier and Mel were making the bed last night and he remembered that when he was a kid, we used to play with his duplo that I would always take the chicken. His characters would have all sorts of crazy super powers and were basically unbeatable. My chicken had 1 power. Instant death if someone…

July 15th – Just for a moment

Posted on 2026-07-15 By Q No Comments on July 15th – Just for a moment

Yesterday I got the results from my CT scan and we met with the doctor this morning. The concensus is that we are unsure of everything and just know that I have cancer “somewhere”. The doctor is concerned about the neuropathy becoming permanent so he wants to switch early to a different treatment. Things seem…

July 11th – Good things fall apart

Posted on 2026-07-112026-07-11 By Q No Comments on July 11th – Good things fall apart

This morning we decided to make smoked ribs on the smoker for preparation for tomorrow. I got up early to make sure that I was prepared for things and realized that I should be using briquettes instead of lump charcoal. We did not have any briquettes so I waited and went to the store at…

July 9th – Through the Iris

Posted on 2026-07-092026-07-09 By Q No Comments on July 9th – Through the Iris

After 48 hours I am supposed to get my chemo bottle disconnected. The bottle it supposed to be drained in approximately 46 hours but it might drain faster because of different factors. I get the bottle somewhere between 10:30 and 11:30 generally so it should be disconnected around 8:30 to 9:30.  I think that it…

Posted on 2026-07-07 By Q No Comments on July 7th – Trust, bliss, date, faith, trust, hate, share it

When the system works well it is rather awesome. I had a CT scan and my chemo scheduled for today. I was supposed to do chemo and then later this evening go in for a CT scan. I was not too keen on that and tried to see if I could go in earlier with…

July 6th – Anthem

Posted on 2026-07-062026-07-06 By Q No Comments on July 6th – Anthem

Time moves so fast, it is already July 6th. It seems that not that long ago I arrived in Canada and started my life. Time flys by so quickly. When you start having kids you watch them grow up so fast in front of your eyes. I do not remember all of the things from…
