Welcome to the New Cancer Can Bite Me

19. September 2009 - 13:12 by PaduanBenedick  

Good afternoon, dear reader. Welcome to the new Cancer Can Bite Me. Thank you for joining here. The site is still in transition, and there's a completely different mechanism running the site. For several reasons, I decided to switch from Wordpress to Drupal as the engine behind the site. That being the case, the original Cancer Can Bite Me will still be active for some time; I intend to migrate the older posts here as quickly as possible, but I've been having some trouble with the migration assistant.

Why Did I Get Out Of Bed Today?

Or, more aptly, For My Father Good evening, dear reader. Have you ever had one of those days during which a single question constantly recurs, "Why did I get out of bed today?" Today was one of those days; it would have been better had I just slept through it. Of course, sleep was a large part of my problem. In the wee hours of this morning, I awoke sobbing.

Good evening, dear reader. I hope this evening finds you well. As you probably deduced by the title of this post, I find myself feeling a bit off today. I had thought to find virtue in making a more forceful attempt to return to life as normal, and perhaps it is working to some extent.

Quick Hit: The Reason I Hate People Today

Good evening, dear reader. I don't feel like writing much this evening, so this will be brief, but there is a story that I had to keep off my chest. My final phone call at work this afternoon (not because it was the last time my phone rang, but rather because I refused to answer it after this call) was with a student who needed some assistance.

Warning: This post contains profanity because I am not having a good day. Proceed at your own peril. Good evening, dear reader. I don't know why or how if happened, but I slept most of the day away. I wasn’t up particularly late yesterday evening, but somehow I managed to sleep for close to eighteen hours. I wish that I could say it had been restful.

Sometimes I Surprise Even Myself

Good (wee-hours-of-the-) morning, dear reader. Thank you for joining me on this insomnia fueled ramble. I thought I should tell you about a moment today when I managed to surprise myself. Yes, I know, you could tell that from the title of the entry, couldn't you?

Quick Hit: My Morning Meal

Good morning, dear reader. It's been a very busy week, but I assure you I'm still alive and writing. I've been working on an essay about fear that should be ready by this weekend. In the meantime, I thought I'd give you a little peek into how my mornings have changed over the past month or so. My morning routine is not what is was when I first came home from the hospital.

This site was created as a place for me to share the hardships and joys of my recovery from cancer. In time, I hope that a new sangha will grow to embrace this site as a place of peace, contemplation, and discussion.
