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.

The sun is gone
Suddenly I find myself busy at work--with less time for blogging! Until I have anything interesting to say, here is a picture of me wearing my radiation mask. I can't decide if I should be a Buddhist Monk for Halloween or just wear this:
Hey there... found your blog... i was diagnosed in january this year with a brain stem tumor.. mine is inoperable, but treatable with radiation and chemo.. just finished 30 treatments of radiation... dunno if chemo later or not...having trouble now with the meds. damned steriods. 11 prescription drugs now. ick. just wanted to say hello, and maybe chat some about experiences with treatment.. i have my mask too...also thot of halloween!!
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.

Oh, Jessie. I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one planning my Halloween costume in May. MUKU.
