Week in Review: Week(s) 275-276
Ahn yong ha se yo! (hello)
I’ve skipped a couple weeks cuz there WAS nothing to review! Pretty much life has been work, class, study/homework, blog/tiktok, repeat. On a positive note, I’ve been pretty disciplined about getting all my stuff done every day. Which is not my usual MO.
Just a couple things went on outside the above schedule:
Had my annual CT scan, with much poking as usual to get my blood which my body does NOT like giving up. I have a virtual appt with the oncologist Monday for results. I’m sure everything’s fine. This is the four-year mark. I believe at five years they will declare me cancer-free
I saw a heart on my window.
I won $25 on a lottery ticket, woohoo!
Up until the mosquitoes found me this week, I’ve been enjoying doing homework and studying on the patio
I actually got out of the area on Sunday with my friend, we went out to Longhouse Reserve (aka Reservoir Garden) in East Hampton. It was a hot day but the garden has many shady areas and there was a delightful breeze all day. We found a bench with our names on it under two weeping cherry trees, at the foot of a pond…and we spent a long time there. It was lovely.
A cute little froggie came up out of the pond to greet us.
I saw a heart petal.
My camera battery charger has run away from home so I only had my cell phone with me today.
There was an exhibit of the deceased owner’s textile collections. I loved these clashing, 70s-esque colors.
When I was almost home at the end of the day I discovered I’d brought a friend home with me…so I pulled into the parking lot at a little local nature preserve and re-homed her.
I took a brave pill this week and asked a couple people from Korean class if they wanted to exchange phone numbers so we could ask one another homework questions…and some of us actually met via zoom over the weekend for study groups. Look at me, spreading my friendship wings, ha ha!
And now it is 9:33pm Sunday and I have miles to go before I sleep.
WHAT I’M LISTENING TO
I just heard this pretty pretty song this weekend. I came across her TikTok and followed her to Spotify. I love that so many artists are getting the exposure they need from TikTok to get their start in the music industry.

Oooooh, I’m listening to that song now and I love it. Ethereal vocals yet you can still hear the guitar being played which grounds it (IMO) and I’m now going to add her to my spotify list! And I missed that you are taking Korean lessons but that seems like such a logical next step. Are you planning a trip sometime in the future? Well, have a great week Bettye and take care!

Right? I was taken with it right away. I looked around but can’t find anything more by her (yet).
I’m looking into more than “just a trip” to Korea, but I’ll share more information when I HAVE more information 🙂

Ideas overflowing in my mind with your more than “just a trip” comment reply to Julia! So many exciting possibilities. Can’t wait till you are ready spill your plans!
bettyewp
Ha ha, as fast as I come up with possibilities, I’m hitting roadblocks, ugh. But I’m not throwing in the towel yet!

Hope your CT is ok, I have mine soon and like you I never want to give up my blood, thats the worst bit when they have to proggle about to get some. It was a good job you brought the caterpillar home and not the frog.!!
bettyewp
Yeah, I don’t so mind the poking, I’ve gotten pretty hohum about the initial stick…but yeah, when they start wiggling it around under the skin searching for the vein I’m like COULD YOU NOT?!
The Good News is, cancer-wise the scan is clear. There may be another issue, I’ll share when I know something.
Oh. I TRIED to hold the frog but he wouldn’t let me 🙁
