I'm going to crowdsource this question: Why am I being drawn to water now? Yes, I do call my blog "eddiesandcurrents" (not breaking the words because water flows from eddies to currents without breaks), but why, starting during radiation when I was beginning to feel stronger, do I find myself going to places with water? … Continue reading Water, water everywhere

On the road, Northeast trip: #6 Rye Beach, NH and the trek home
A week ago I made the drive from Merrimack, New Hampshire over to Rye Beach to spend my last day in New England on the coast. The beaches and ocean there look so different from the way the beaches and ocean look here in the South. The water's a more vivid blue. Not like the … Continue reading On the road, Northeast trip: #6 Rye Beach, NH and the trek home
On the road, Northeast trip: #5 The Currier, Portsmouth, NH and York, ME
Though I'm home, settled in and having had a day to rest, I'm catching up on my travels from last week. I certainly had a varied trip encompassing lots of water places - driving along Great Lakes, sitting by the ocean, crossing rivers on big bridges. For some reason, I was drawn to water. Water … Continue reading On the road, Northeast trip: #5 The Currier, Portsmouth, NH and York, ME
On the road, Northeast trip: #4.5 Quick Check-in
I'm on the way home, stopped off in Harrisonburg, Virginia, before completing my trip tomorrow. I have lots to catch up on and not a lot of energy for doing that, so I'll give a lick and a promise now. I had varied and lovely days in New Hampshire and a bit of Maine last … Continue reading On the road, Northeast trip: #4.5 Quick Check-in
On the road, Northeast trip: #4 Rochester, Finger Lakes region, & Bennington, VT
I'm still catching up from the weekend's travels, so I'll pick up with Rochester, NY. We spent Friday night there and started Saturday at the art gallery, had lunch, then went down to the Finger Lakes area and ended up Saturday night staying at a motel just off the New York Thruway before heading into … Continue reading On the road, Northeast trip: #4 Rochester, Finger Lakes region, & Bennington, VT
On the road, Northeast trip: #3 Niagara Falls and beyond
My body is saying, "Take another slow day," so I'm catching up with my blog of my travels in getting here to New Hampshire. Friday was another gorgeous day, crystal clear and in the 60s as we left Buffalo for Niagara Falls. Karla drove so I could look around. As we approached the town of … Continue reading On the road, Northeast trip: #3 Niagara Falls and beyond
On the road, Northeast trip: #2 Buffalo, NY
Where to start? I've been in several states since I wrote at the beginning of my trip and am now settled in at my sister's and brother-in-law's house with their black cat. This trip has taken me along the shores of Lakes Erie and Ontario, so now I've seen all of the Great Lakes, plus … Continue reading On the road, Northeast trip: #2 Buffalo, NY
On the road, Northeast trip: #1 Mountains around my shoulders
My blog is shifting focus from breast cancer treatments to travel. "On the road" is one of my favorite ways to be. Driving long distances, seeing what's between here and there, thinking, looking, feeling landscape and place - nothing's better. Two weeks ago I finished radiation therapy, and since then I've had two oncology doctor … Continue reading On the road, Northeast trip: #1 Mountains around my shoulders
And even better and better
Who knew how wonderful it could feel to have more energy, to be able to do household chores and not be exhausted, to run errands and take walks and do daily activities and not have to rest??! I'm up earlier than usual today because I'm bursting with energy. Not manic energy, but the energy that … Continue reading And even better and better
Better and better
When people ask, "How are you doing?" my answer is "Better and better!" Every single day I feel a bit better. What a contrast to three months ago when the last chemo was hitting me so hard. Or a month ago when I was having a seroma aspirated for the second time during my radiation … Continue reading Better and better
