About Me

I'm Renee. This site is about what it's like to be me. I'm a cancer survivor, mommy, baker, gardener, designer, counselor, advocate, diyer, artist, animal rescuer, and a lot of other stuff too. While the title of the site might make you think there's a train wreck happening here~ most of the damage is the good kind. And even that which isn't helps to make life interesting...

Holy shit. I might never be able to stand upright

Holy shit. I might never be able to stand upright again but the backyard, west back entry, and East veggie space are weeded and ready for planting. I've got a plan for the 4 day weekend to get the flower gardens in shape without killing myself. So excited! #mommylife #singlemom #exhausted #singlemum #hustling #redglasses #redlips #glassesgirl #cancer #triplenegativebreastcancer #breastcancer #survivor #oldhouse #oldhouselove #diy #renovation #moneypit #backyardgarden #urbangarden #urbangardening #urbanliving #gardening #gardenlife #gardenlove

Hooray for Friday, loves. 5 more hours until I can get my hands in the dirt and start to get the yard ready for next week's garden planting... #mommylife #singlemom #exhausted #singlemum #hustling #redglasses #redlips #glassesgirl #cancer #triplenegativebreastcancer #breastcancer #survivor #oldhouse #oldhouselove #diy #renovation #moneypit #backyardgarden #backyardgardening #urbangarden

Happy Hump Day, loves. Everything here is falling apart. Just two more days until I have time to get my hands back in the dirt. I just have to hold on until the weekend... #mommylife #singlemom #exhausted #singlemum #hustling #redglasses #redlips #glassesgirl #cancer #triplenegativebreastcancer #breastcancer #survivor #oldhouse #oldhouselove #diy #renovation #moneypit #backyardgarden #urbangarden #urbangardening #saveme

It's only May 14 and I'm already woefully behind on yard chores. Awesome. Deep breaths and copious amounts of caffeine will be needed today... #mommylife #singlemom #exhausted #singlemum #hustling #redglasses #redlips #glassesgirl #cancer #triplenegativebreastcancer #breastcancer #survivor #oldhouse #oldhouselove #diy #renovation #moneypit #backyardgarden #backyardgarden #urbangarden #urbangardening #urbanliving

Friday. Finally. I'm exhausted and feel like I could sleep for a week. But this morning I took the last of the med that's been kicking my ass.

I just have to make it through today then I'm gonna sneak in a vacation day, a medical procedure, and hopefully a little fun tomorrow! #mommylife #singlemom #exhausted #singlemum #hustling #redglasses #redlips #glassesgirl #cancer #triplenegativebreastcancer #breastcancer #survivor #almostfriday

I took a sick day today. Instead of spending it resting I was trying to reinstall every smart device in the house because the internet router crapped out over the weekend and destroyed my network. It's 3pm and I've just gotten things all up and running. Sigh...#mommylife #singlemom #exhausted #singlemum #hustling #redglasses #redlips #glassesgirl #cancer #triplenegativebreastcancer #breastcancer #survivor #oldhouse #networkwoes

Fever broke at 3am. Guess that means I need to get back to my desk and get to work so we can have money to eat... #mommylife #singlemom #exhausted #singlemum #hustling #redglasses #redlips #glassesgirl #cancer #triplenegativebreastcancer #breastcancer #survivor #sotired

Unexpected medical procedure on top of week long med regimen. Plus 60 hour work week. I'm wrecked. The house is a mess. Cancer, being a single mum, and a homeowner is a lot. I'm off to bed. Sweet dreams, loves... #mommylife #singlemom #exhausted #singlemum #hustling #redglasses #redlips #glassesgirl #cancer #triplenegativebreastcancer #breastcancer #survivor #sweetdreams #friyay #fridayvibes

Day 4 of new meds. They said I'd feel better by now. I actually feel worse. Damn. Oh well. I'm not dead yet.

Got up early to do some baking for my side hustle. Took two meetings before I realized I was covered in flour. Perfect. Day 1 of new meds. Only 13 to go. Not that I'm counting down or anything. Maybe they'll not only help me feel better but maybe they'll help me get my shit together too? One can hope. #mommylife #singlemom #exhausted #singlemum #hustling #redglasses #redlips #glassesgirl #cancer #triplenegativebreastcancer #breastcancer #survivor #hotmess #hotmessmama

Tomorrow I start an intense 14 day med regimen. I need to test every day. I'm good tonight so I'm ready for tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed that by mother's day I'm good as new... #mommylife #singlemom #exhausted #singlemum #hustling #redglasses #redlips #glassesgirl #cancer #triplenegativebreastcancer #breastcancer #survivor

Friday night happy hour and my scheduled companion has ditched me.

Got a hair cut after work and now I'm too tired to keep my eyes open any longer. It's totally OK to go to bed at 7pm, no? #mommylife #singlemom #exhausted #singlemum #hustling #redglasses #redlips #glassesgirl #cancer #triplenegativebreastcancer #breastcancer #survivor #tappingout #goodnight

I think she likes me.

Today someone told me if I was a better mum I'd work less and spend more time with V. Did they really think I want to work like 80 hours a week?
