Last month we went to Taos for a few days. Has it only been a month? A lot has happened since then, but I thought you’d like to hear about the trip. We got some nice pictures. Our goal was to get into the mountains to see the fall color – in this case, yellow aspen. We do have some red maple in one or two forests in New Mexico, but for the most part our fall color is aspen in the mountains, as well as cottonwoods along the river.
We were lucky we got out to the mountains to see the aspen this year, because the fall color never got good along the river. That’s because shortly after our trip to the mountains, Albuquerque had an early hard freeze and a snowstorm only a week into October. A lot of the leaves down in the valley just went directly from green to dead.
We loved our vacation rental in Arroyo Seco, just north of Taos. The casita was walking distance from central Arroyo Seco (all block or two of it), yet still out in the country.
It was just a 1-bedroom cottage, but it was very spacious. It had a wonderful patio and lots of New Mexican charm.
Here’s the patio, very quiet and peaceful, nothing nearby.
Lots of wood and adobe details in the casita.
This quaint church was near our casita, along our walk into town.
On one of the days we drove into Taos. Here are photos from a very large Mexican furniture store we briefly went into, but we were reluctant to linger or go into any smaller shops because of covid. This was shortly before New Mexico’s covid rates started to skyrocket. After the rates got so bad, I stopped going into stores altogether. But as you can see, it wasn’t crowded (except crowded with stuff, lol).
That was a fun place to wander around in, but if you actually want to buy furniture in Taos, I recommend Antigua de Mexico Imports instead. We’ve purchased from them before, and have gotten to be friends with the owners, Gonzalo and Blanca. They import some of their furniture, but they also make a lot of their own furniture themselves and will make to your custom measurements if you want. They also have much better prices than that other store we checked out.
I was too busy buying stuff to take very many photos at Antigua. Just this chair – we bought 6 of them and Gonzalo made us a table to match.
He managed to get the table done just in time to take to Tucson with us. Everything we’ve purchased from Gonzalo we’ve taken down to Tucson.
Here’s a little side road in Taos we walked while waiting for our take-out food to be ready.
Unfortunately, the food was terrible. We didn’t even eat it, it was that bad! After that day, we decided we’d seen enough of Taos and stayed in Arroyo Seco for the rest of the weekend. Arroyo Seco has a few small galleries and a great cafe, https://solfoodnm.com/sol-food-cafe/, all within walking distance of our casita. I could eat at Sol Food every day and never get tired of them!
Here’s a Greek salad with hummus and dolmas. It would be even prettier if it wasn’t in a take-out box, lol.
Here’s a sweet little place to sit among the cosmos and hollyhocks, and a statue of the Greek God Pan, in “downtown” Arroyo Seco:
Right near there I bought earrings directly from the artist who made them. She said they represented “strength.”
I figured we could all use a little strength nowadays.
The hiking trails are closer to Arroyo Seco than Taos – just a short drive from the casita. Because I’m still low in energy, we only hiked a mile or so on the most level trail we could find, but it was still steep, and a challenge for me. We went on the same trail two different times, because I didn’t want to try anything steeper. Luckily it was beautiful both times!
It wasn’t crowded but there were enough people that we wore our masks (mandatory in New Mexico anyway). Mine is in my hand, just off for the photo. And don’t worry, John usually wears his mask right. That “fake beard” look was just for the photo, so we could see how happy he was 🙂
We went up there to see the trees and wow, we got trees!
Albuquerque got snow early this year. I’m putting these pictures up to remind myself why we’re going through all this effort to get ourselves to Tucson. And if you happen to actually like snow, enjoy the pictures!
We appear to have completely and entirely skipped fall. It was in the 80’s up until the day before yesterday. All the leaves were still green, everything was still in bloom. My yard looked like this:
Then last night we had a horrible wind storm. I didn’t sleep from shortly before 1:00 AM until about 5:30 AM. I just listened to yard items and trash cans rolling down the street and airborne things slamming into the house (airborne things including branches, pine cones, dirt, sand, trash, hail, sleet and who knows what else.) Last time we had wind like that we had roof shingles in our yard from our neighbor’s house. It’s trash day, so now trash is strewn all up and down the street.
At one point, around 2:30 AM, the power blinked off and then surged, leaving our overhead light on in our bedroom. (It had been off.) If you’re wondering how that’s possible, it’s because we turn it on and off with a remote, so the manual switch is always on. Whatever the power did apparently mimicked the remote.
The wind blew hard all morning, it was literally freezing and we were getting occasional sleet. From the 80’s to the 20’s in one day.
I made a warm lunch of random leftovers put together into soup.
My friend had sent me a potted flower when I started chemo this spring and John had planted it for me in my little courtyard off our bedroom. It has been faithfully blooming ever since. Here’s how it looked this morning during the wind and freezing temps. Aww! A little bedraggled.
And here’s my cosmos this morning, wondering what in the world had hit it:
By midday the winds finally calmed down and it started snowing in earnest. Here is my poor flower now. I’m afraid it’s not the sort of flower that likes snow.
And my roses:
We knew this big weather change was coming, so we harvested our few home-grown chilies yesterday.
We were lucky to get any at all, because the seeds were leftover from some previous year and I’m surprised they even grew. It was very hard to get plants or seeds this past spring because of covid, so I just used what I had. I remember barely being able to bend over to plant seeds because it was so soon after my surgery, but I enjoyed watching everything grow this summer.
I never finished this post from back in August, and I figure it’s time for something cheerful, so here you have an August flashback in October.
This past August we celebrated 12 years! We had wanted to do something “big and fancy” to celebrate this year because we failed to do much of anything for our 10th anniversary. I think it was because I hadn’t been in that Santa Fe job very long and didn’t have much vacation time. Our 11th anniversary was right after we were getting moved back to Albuquerque from Santa Fe and Placitas and we were very busy. Now for our 12th – who would have predicted a cancer diagnosis and a pandemic this year?
We’re still being very careful in regards to covid, so we didn’t want to fly anywhere or stay in group lodging such as hotels. What would be local, isolated, yet still special?
I found a little casita in the North Valley on airbnb. The North Valley is a green section of Albuquerque along the river that looks completely different from the rest of Albuquerque. It’s only 20 minutes away but it’s like we’re in a different state.
The casita is the guesthouse on the property of a larger, very nice house on at least an acre of land with a swimming pool. Here’s the airbnb marketing picture:
And sure enough, it was that nice.
At first though, we were a little baffled trying to find it. The North Valley is an odd mix of shabby/funky and wealthy. It’s not even one or the other – it’s the two mixed together. It’s hard to know what to expect.
They told us to take the driveway on the left.
Here’s what’s on the end of the driveway on the left.
Hmmm, ok, so we decided to continue around to the right…
This might be the casita?
But those stairs are looking truly funky. They are beyond quaint, that’s not even safe.
So I walked past the stairs.
I saw a pool on the other side of the fence, but it was covered.
Why is the pool covered? Is it closed? We had reserved this place specifically for the pool!
Well, it’s certainly green.
Could this be the casita over here?
Hey, that looks like an operable door, with a key pad. This must be the casita! Unfortunately I had written the key code down wrong. More bafflement. Maybe it’s not the casita after all?
Then John appeared with the correct code. Ta-da, now this isn’t half bad.
It was very large, with a full kitchen, separate dining area, an enormous bedroom, and a patio out the french doors off the living room.
Look at all that shady green!
That’s the owner’s house in the distance, on the other side of the yard.
Turns out the pool has a retractable cover on it to keep the leaves out when not in use. It’s motorized and runs on a track. It’s very easy to operate. The pool was open after all!
We had a great time in the pool. It was shady in the mornings.
It was perfect in the hot afternoons.
Don’t you love our covid haircuts? John has it easy.
Hmmm, how does this thing work?
Summer fun!
See the roadrunner on the ground at the foot of the chair?
Beep beep!
In addition to the pool, I also chose this area for the walking and biking opportunities along the canales and the Rio Grande. It’s such a beautiful oasis in the desert.
This is one of the many canals that run through the area. They are commonly called drains or acequias or just “the ditch”.
This is one of the main canals, the Riverside Drain, which parallels the river. Along this section the Bosque bike trail goes between this canal and the river.
The drain has almost more water than the Rio Grande. Here’s part of the actual river.
The Rio Grande is very low, and summer is our rainy season. We got almost no rain this year.
Here’s another ditch. I found it a bit rough for bicycles, but great for walking.
Here’s a great bike path we discovered that is a gravel spur off the paved Bosque trail. It was surprisingly smooth for a dirt and gravel trail.
There were occasional peek-a-boo views of the river.
Here’s a nice wide resting spot down by the river. New Mexico has mandated masks outside for several months now, even while exercising and distanced.
Oh no! Aliens from outer space! New Mexico is famous for alien sightings.
At this point I was just tired and wanted to get back to our casita. But no, one more picture. Remove your mask and glasses for the photo! Oh, ok.
We weren’t going to restaurants back then, not even on outdoor patios, so John bought take-out and we ate our anniversary dinner on our own patio. Yum, yum, an entire carrot cake!
(This post contains a certain amount of medical detail – possibly “too much information” for some people – colon cancer can be sort of disgusting.)
I promised to post the results of my latest cancer screening. It generally looks good. There’s no obvious cancer, but there are a few worrying points. My white blood cell count has declined again, for no known reason, which seems to me like a bad sign, but may or may not mean anything. I also have a lot of cysts, which appear to be benign, but the radiologist is going to take another look and do a comparison with an older scan from Boston that they didn’t initially have here in Albuquerque.
From what I understand, it’s not that the cancer might come back – it’s that it might not have ever been fully gone. And we can’t really detect it until it’s been long enough that it’s growing tumors.
I didn’t know much about cancer until I got it. There’s so many different kinds, and they’re all really different. My kind is relatively slow growing, but apparently it’s not very responsive to chemotherapy, and can be hard to beat.
There are two different scenarios for it showing back up again. More cancer could grow in my colon. That would simply be another instance of what I had before, and would be treated in the same way – a small polyp would be removed during a colonoscopy, and a larger tumor would be removed with surgery.
My next colonoscopy will be early next year at the end of February or early March. Not sure if I’ll get that done in Albuquerque or Tucson, but they’re routine and easy to get done anywhere.
If the cancer showed up in the exact same spot as before (ie, if they didn’t get it all and it regrew), the surgery would be difficult and I would probably lose at least some bowel function, and have a colostomy bag at least temporarily if not permanently. That’s because it’s located at the junction of my colon and rectum, and I’d end up losing too much rectal muscle. Not a good scenario! I only barely managed to avoid that fate during this first go-around. I did lose some rectal muscle during the surgery, and didn’t know for the first few months how much function I would regain as the surgery healed. I now thankfully function nearly normally. I never thought I’d be so grateful for being able to poop! (And not poop.) Yay for pooping on command!
The second scenario would be if the cancer showed up somewhere else. The most likely locations would be in my liver or lungs. If it showed up somewhere else, then it’s stage 4, metastasized, and that would likely be fatal. So we’re keeping a close eye on my liver and lungs.
For some reason my liver has a lot of cysts, including a large one. The cysts were first noticed in Boston when we went out there for the surgery. I hadn’t had any scans done before the diagnosis that I know of, so I have no idea how long I’ve had them. It could have been forever. Apparently some people are just that way and it doesn’t necessarily mean anything. We believe they’re benign but we need to watch to make sure they aren’t growing.
I also have a few small cysts in my lungs, possibly damage from when I had pneumonia as a child. But we also need to watch them, to make sure they’re benign. My Albuquerque clinic didn’t scan my lungs when they did my previous scan in April (they should have). We had to get the scan from February that was done in Boston as a comparison point, so now we are waiting for the radiologist to look at that.
I’m also having a lot of lower back or pelvic pain. It’s not new – I think I occasionally had it even last year. But it’s significantly worse recently. It could be muscular, but it sort of feels intestinal to me. I’ve decided to quit drinking coffee, to see if that helps. I had recently increased my coffee intake (decaffeinated) because John read that it might help with cancer, and we figured it couldn’t hurt. Except now I have this ache – who knows if it’s related. I’ll just have to experiment.
I’m also very tired and sleeping a lot. I suppose I may be still recovering from the surgery and chemo. I wonder how long I’ll still be so tired? I seem to be less energetic than a month or two ago. I remember our hike in Utah and wonder how I even managed. I don’t feel like I could do that now.
There’s no point worrying though, because there’s not much I can do at this point. The cancer is either going to show up again or it’s not. All I know to do at this point is the weekly fasting, which I am doing for 36 hours once a week. Fasting is no fun, but I hope it helps.
Maybe I’m fine. Maybe packing for Tucson is just taking more energy than I realize. This is what my house here in Albuquerque looks like right now.
It’s pretty overwhelming. I get stressed out when my place isn’t neat and tidy. But soon I hope to be relaxing in my new backyard in Tucson while the winter winds howl in Albuquerque.
Sorry about all the gloom and doom recently. It’s been a hard year, but it still had its bright spots. I’ll post a more cheerful one next time, I promise.
Hi everyone, I just want to let you know that we had Rosie put down. She was declining rapidly and after discussing her age and condition with the vet, we thought it was the best decision. She was such an amazing dog and we miss her.
I was planning on writing a “life celebration” post, with plenty of fun and cute pictures of her from over the years, but I’m just not up for it right now. Maybe later. Meanwhile, I wanted to let you know.
Our oldest dog, Rosie’s health is in decline. We adopted her in 2013, and at the time the agency told us they thought she was about 10 years old. That would make her 17, which is very old for a dog, even for a small dog. We don’t know for sure if she’s that old, but even if the adoption agency was off by a couple of years, she’s still a very old dog.
She sleeps a lot of the time now. She is eating fine but nonetheless has lost a lot of weight and has gotten very frail. She also sometimes gets confused and walks into corners and just stands there. She is nearly blind and deaf. She moves slowly and sometimes falls down, and can no longer get in and out of the doggie door. She also sometimes has trouble getting up.
Rosie recently had her first ever accident on the rug. Of all our dogs, she has always been our most reliably house trained. She’s never had a problem while traveling, or in a new house, or any other stressful situation. In this case, I don’t think she even fully understood what was happening.
Since we don’t want our carpets ruined, and she doesn’t need full run of the house for anything anyway, we’ve set her up in a pen on a blanket and potty pads between the kitchen and the living room, where she can rest but still be in the center of the house.
It’s cool in the mornings now, so I also put a heating pad down. I’ve also expanded the pen a little bit so that in the mid-day, when it’s warm, I can leave the sliding door open so she can go in and out on her own.
She can just barely manage to negotiate the little lip along the bottom of the sliding glass door. Luckily we don’t have many bugs in New Mexico, so I can get away with leaving the door wide open. Although soon it will be too cold.
She’s generally doing fine with the pen, although sometimes she feels trapped and puts her nose to the bars, and makes a high-pitched panicked noise. When that happens, I’ll just return her to her heating pad and tell her to go to sleep. Or I’ll carry her outside and she happily wanders around very slowly for awhile before eventually coming back inside.
She’s the most happy outside. And so am I. When I’m not inside packing boxes, I’m usually on my computer on the back porch. She sits with me whenever I’m on my computer. Once I left her a moment too long and she fell off the couch, so now I put pillows down if I need to run inside for something.
It’s going to get harder as it gets colder outside, because the yard is really the only place she’s happy (except she’s not happy if she’s gotten stuck out there, she really doesn’t like feeling trapped outside or inside). We’ll be in Tucson by mid-November where it will be a lot warmer, but it will be quite cold in Albuquerque by the time we’re able to leave.
As soon as she wakes up in the morning or from a nap, she starts in with her funny (but very insistent and compelling) cries. It’s almost like having a baby in the house. Shhhh – Rosie’s sleeping! She’s still sleeping through the night, luckily, but that may change soon. I’m glad I’m not working right now, because I do not know what would happen if she had to be left alone for 9 hours every day. I guess she’d spend a lot of time crying in her pen.
She’s clearly at the end of her life, but she doesn’t seem to be in pain. Just confused and frail.
Also as a follow-up to my recent post about fasting, I fasted again yesterday and it went well (it’s not fun to be hungry, of course, but it’s survivable). I’ve decided to fast regularly on Thursdays. The reason, if you missed that post, is because fasting can help kill cancer cells. And don’t worry about me missing a day’s worth of food. I think I already made up the calories today! Fruit-cabbage-carrot smoothie, yogurt, eggs, bacon, and waffles for breakfast, pizza and sweet potato fries for lunch, and John’s got spaghetti and meatballs and more vegetables cooking for dinner! I’m not going to starve, that’s for sure.
I’m not out of the woods yet with the cancer. My white blood cell count had declined when we checked it toward the end of last week, so I assume they’ll have to check it again soon. Down is not the direction we want it to be going. It means something is stressing my immune system. Hopefully the stressor is just a bit of a mild virus or the fact that I’m still recovering from chemo or something, and not the cancer coming back. I don’t feel sick like with a cold or anything, but I have been tired.
On the other hand, my CEA is low, which is good. CEA is a cancer marker, so that one we want to be low.
I also had a CT scan on Tuesday and I don’t have those results yet. I should hear about that next week and I’ll let you know. I also have a new doctor in Tucson, and I’ll be seeing him in early November.
On a more upbeat note, here’s a rose. That’s just a snapshot I took in my backyard with an older iphone. I didn’t do anything to make the background black like that. It’s just because the flower was lit by sunlight and the surroundings behind it weren’t.
Remember in a recent post I bragged about how well New Mexico was doing with covid? For weeks we had about 100 new cases a day. That was 100 too many, but it wasn’t an alarming amount compared to our neighboring states of Arizona and Texas, which were way out of control.
But suddenly, last week, our numbers started rising. Instead of around 100 new cases each day, it was 200 and then 300 and then 400, and every day was worse and worse. Wednesday was 577 new cases and yesterday was 672! I have no idea what’s going on. But I’ll tell you this – I’m not going to go anywhere!
Also in that same post I mentioned a Biden political sign with a play on words (just biden our time). I was going to put that one up in my front yard but John hates political signs. So we compromised and I put it up inside my courtyard where no one can see it. I think I lost that compromise, lol!
If anyone local wants it and is willing to come by, I’ll leave it on my porch for you, just let me know. It isn’t doing any good hidden in my courtyard!
Here is another Biden pun on our street.
We have a mixed neighborhood and there are also a few Trump signs, but I haven’t seen any puns on the pro-trump signs. They mostly just say something about making America great. Except one I saw that said something about “stop the bullshit,” which was funny, but not “haha” funny. Funny in an ironic and crazy way. Like seriously, who is the one spewing BS on twitter? Ok, deep breath, this will be over soon.
On our walk this morning I looked down and noticed this cute little rock someone painted and set out near the sidewalk. It was nearly hidden and hard to spot, so when I suddenly noticed it out of the corner of my eye, it made me smile.
Maybe John and I can compromise with a little Biden-Harris hand-painted rock subtly lurking on the ground somewhere near our mailbox 🙂
Recently I posted about lions in a dream, and I included photos of lions from John’s trip to Africa a couple of years ago. Then my mom made me a silk scarf based on the photos I had posted. Really quite amazing!
