A few more finds from Keri Smith’s book The Pocket Scavenger. I would like to include some of these as part of #The100DayProject.
Four pines were removed at Castle Greystone. We record our activities on this group calendar in an effort to not over schedule. The pineapple flavor is my favorite. Soon we will be enjoying some delicious sweet tea.
QOTD: “You are free to regularly revise your philosophy of life to account for the ever-changing contours of your own destiny and the ever-evolving urgencies of our shared culture.
You are free—FREE!!!!—to care dearly about what images and stories and words you allow to flood into your sacred imagination. You are free to regard omnipresent advertising as a form of propagandistic brainwashing. You are free to recognize that other people’s freedoms are as important as yours.” ~ Rob Brezsny

I’m still painting a little. It’s enjoyable when I’m feeling good.
Today I visited the cardiologist to check my pacemaker battery and some arterial calcification that showed up on a bone scan He said I had another year on this battery. He also said he wasn’t going to do anything about my heart unless it was a problem for me. He made it clear he wanted me to concentrate on treating Terminus rather than having a heart thing and a cancer thing going on at the same time. I appreciate that. Waiting in the waiting area. A cute figurine in the treatment area window. I took this with a Kodak Print-o-matic. We arrived back at Castle Graystone and discovered this pile of pine trees. The tree guys had removed four pines that were too close to the building.

Pictures of pictures. The second series of photos for #The100DayProject. These were taken with a Kodak Mini Shot 3 Square Retro Instant Camera.
My awesome sister. She has taken care of me since I’ve been sick. She and her husband picked me up from WHQ where I lay dying and brought me to their home and medical care. When chemotherapy caused sores in my mouth. I was given “magic” mouthwash. It works well numbing the pain and helping to heal the sores. Me and my shadow out for a walk. I’m slowly building up my strength by walking a little more each day. Aren’t these lovely roses? They were part of my sister’s Valentine’s Day.
Here I am. I’ll never be cured but I have improved over the last year.
QOTD: “There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,” he ruminated, “trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.” ~ Aldous Huxley

Pictures of pictures. Here is the first series of photos for #The100DayProject. These were taken with a Kodak Mini Shot 3 Square Retro Instant Camera. Not my best work but I’m learning a lot.
A mess I’ve piled up on the piano. We went for a delicious Mocha Frappe at Bullet Coffee Company. We sat in the car enjoying our beverages. I use an Amazon box as a painting table. Works well, it’s ok to mess it up and I can recycle it when I am done. A lovely pork loin for supper.
My current journey is leading me further down the rabbit hole than I have ever been before.
QOTD: “Enjoy the ride before the destination. Life moves on in the blink of an eye and you might be missing ‘life’ itself while chasing your future or hanging out in your past. God forbid you miss the journey. ” ~ Me

My project revolves around instant cameras. I want to learn how to creatively use these cameras. First I’ll take some practice photos with each camera.
The Kodak Printomatic produces business card size photos. They can be sticky on the back or not sticky. I plan to use this camera to make photos for my journal. This camera will also print photos from an iPhone. This is the KODAK Mini Shot 3 Square Retro Instant Camera. It produces 3”x3” photos. As well as taking photos, this camera can print iPhone photos via Bluetooth.
Lastly is the largest and most complicated instant camera. It also has the most capability. It is the the Lomo’Instant Wide camera. I’m intrigued by its multi exposure option.
QOTD: “Who do you want to become between now and January 2024? Where do you want to go and what do you want to do?” ~ Rob Brezsny
I’ll go first. Who do I want to become? Nobody. I spent years becoming somebody. Now that Terminus has entered the picture I’m practicing letting go of things and roles in preparation for my departure from this spacesuit. I am not this body. Where do I want to go? San Francisco to be near my son and his family. What do I want to do? Walk 10,000 steps again.

I’m feeling good enough to start painting in my journal some.
This Amazon box makes a good painting table.
Adapting to this new normal is challenging. I’m progressing slowly. It’s not easy changing from nomadic life to this more sedentary life. I wish I could get out and do more but I’m weak. I’m working to build up strength.

After six months of chemotherapy it was time for new scans. Has the cancer spread? Has it been reduced in size and spread. We had a bone scan and a CT scan.
The results were revealed this week. Terminus has not spread. It has actually diminished a bit. The lymph nodes are cancer free. There is no cancer in the bones. Things aren’t a lot better and not worse. Basically good news.
QOTD: “The real secret of magic is that the world is made of words,” said Terence McKenna, “and that if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish.”
