It’s been a busy and heart-filling week as I have traversed the country to visit family outside of Pittsburgh. It was a whirlwind trip but I got to do mostly everything I was hoping and get a lot of hugs! We dressed up for Halloween, are a lot, spent time with family, saw a cabin, visited my grandfather’s (pap’s) cabin, met my mom’s new puppy, caught up with old friends, did not escape from an escape room, and ate alot. Thank you to everyone that met us somewhere, made effort to coordinate seeing us, and/or let us sleep in your house! I couldn’t have asked for more as our flights were all on time, the car rental was fairly smooth (thanks for driving Jeremy!), and it was so good to see everyone. My only regret is that I didn’t take many pictures. Erg. I don’t like to post pics of people since I rarely remember to ask permission, but there are a few below!
Also, Happy Happy birthday to my rock, my heart, my favorite pain in the butt, and my best friend, Jeremy! Hopefully, it was worth it since the Steelers won for you (LOL).
So now, let’s vote! Comment on the blog with the number of your vote for how to refer to my tumor/mass/nodule/whatever it is!
Remember, the goal is not to be mean, we are coexisting peacefully. We want it to shrink, or just to not be cancer. I included a description if it was provided to me:
Tina Tumor- needs no explanation lol
Cronk
Comic Sans
NotATumah – courtesy of Arnold Schwarzenegger
Eludon- nodule spelled backwards to encourage shrinking vs growing. it’s not mean and it’s gender neutral.
Nonsense
Boomer – so I can sat ‘ok boomer’ whenever I want to be dismissive of it taking over my life again
Nova- because we want it to implode (like a star)
Other ________ as your suggestion in the comments!
I’ll tally the votes next Friday, Nov 1st.😁
