2/ Since then, he's endured countless rounds of chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant, and a stroke. As he's recovering from all of this, it's become clear that he will not be returning to work anytime soon.
3/ Because my work in political consulting and organizing has always been unpaid work for non-profit organizations, because I am disabled, and because I need to be home to take care of my husband, I decided to start a home-based business.
Millionaire shortbread with a twist: freshly baked shortbread cookie base, a layer of handcrafted caramel, a boozy bourbon marshmallow center, enrobed in the best Belgian chocolate on the planet. Made for a custom order today, only 3 orders left!
New in the store today: Triple Gingerdoodles, like snickerdoodles but instead of cinnamon, they are made with stem ginger, crystallized ginger, and rolled in buffalo ginger and sugar. Crispy edges and soft in the middle.
2/ I won't be posting every day about chocolates or caramel or cookies, but about once a week, I will add things to my store and will post about them. Pictured here: home made caramels in the best Belgian dark chocolate on the market.
3/ If someone told me I'd become a chocolatier in my 50's, I would have said...yeah, that sounds about right. 🤣 When one door shuts, a window opens, which is great unless you get too fat from eating the "mistakes" to fit through a window. ➡️shop.castiron.me/marcenetmercan…
1/ My husband is officially 6 months cancer free, according to last week's bone marrow biopsy.
He had a stem cell transplant for AML last June.
The day he was diagnosed, his white count was 135k. (Normal is between 4k-11k.)
2/He went into respiratory failure, had a heart attack, was put on life support, and as he crashed, I was told his prospects were "not good" by his doctor.
I was told over the phone, because COVID was in full swing on 1/13/21, the day he got sick.
I could not be with him.
3/ To everyone's shock and delight, he woke up 3 days later.
He was in the hospital for 3 weeks, getting his first round of chemo, scared and alone. I was not allowed to be there. Because of COVID.
This was when vaccinations were mostly for people who worked in healthcare.
