Inertia is the property of matter by which it retains its state of rest or its velocity along a straight line so long as it is not acted upon by an external force. It’s that external force that’s such a bitch.

My sister
If I lose more weight our faces will look almost exactly alike. But for now, enjoy this photo and know that it was ME who bought her this hat for Christmas years ago.
I started this blog in 2006 because I wanted to write more and I wanted people to pay attention to me. In 2008, I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia and I got a lot of attention. So much attention that it seemed most prudent to blog about it. In its peak, Inertia had hundreds of followers and I'm still a little flabbergasted (and grateful) that I had so many "fans" cheering me on while I struggled through 2 years of treatment. Since achieving remission in January 2010, I've managed to create a pretty awesome post-cancer life and I am grateful every single day for all the gifts I've been given. While I no longer feel the need to seek out attention (thank you, Cancer) I do remember how much I liked reading other cancer blogs when I was going through treatment. I'm leaving up Inertia: The Cancer Years for general consumption. I really hope my story/experiences are of use to you.
