Hello 8.18.18
Lots of 8’s today, this 8.18.18 in my 8th year with Myeloma.
Recently, I was chatting with other Myeloma pals about the reasons, risks, benefits and the “need” to, or not, share our Myeloma story.
Since I spent my adult life as a colleg…
I wonder why things happen all at once sometimes. Is it the stars aligning or just WTF? My daughter has a nice CRV Honda 2007. When she drove in the other evening I thought I heard something from her engine. Then the next morning when she started it I said Whoaaaa….you can’t drive that. So […]
I made a small batch of zucchini relish to try. It came out spicey. I think it’ll be good on rice or even beans. Then I went back to Ikeda’s fruit stand and bought 1 container of their peaches to try the lavender peach jam again right. It came a beautiful color. But I’m […]
I’m going to start this off with a good story. For the past seven years, I have been getting infusion therapy for my MM at Dana Farber, most recently with Zometa (bone building) infusions every 3 months. For all this time, Heather has been my primary…

Then I got it in my head to make lavender peach jam. So I soaked the lovely lavender buds then promptly threw away the liquid and […]
It’s been a busy week canning more stuff. This is the batch of dill pickles. I did find the Pickle Crisp at Walmart of all places. Nobody in Auburn had it that I could find. So, you only add a 1/4 tsp to the jar and it’s supposed to make them stay crisper. We’ll see. […]
Well, we had one day where the smoke cleared but it’s been back ALL week. It’s so hazy and the air quality is poor. My husband was up at Lake Tahoe and said you couldn’t hardly see the lake. Terrible. I’ve been busy with jam making and putting up the start of tomatoes. I went […]

Hello August that is so far, so much better than July!
Happily I don’t have any new news for you since my last posts and I am thrilled to have July’s craziness behind me! I’m looking forward to seeing how my body responds again to Darzalex…
