Week 4 maker Journal

I contacted the 3D printer lab at OU, and will touch base with them again early next week so to begin printing a 3-D aleph bet, I am sure I will use these letters for my Hebrew school classes, and also try to incorporate them into my little library design

This weeks work was spent taking apart the small shelf, it needed to be disassembled to get reassembled again into an outdoor shelving unit. I was able to borrow a drill and a set of small screw drivers from my family, and a little sander from a friend. I had thought of using the HUB on campus for the construction of my little library, but it has been convenient to work from home.

I used an electric drill to remove the screws, glass, and shelves. I will have to get plexiglass measured to replace the glass doors glass shelves the curio cabinet originally came with. I also plan to replace the mirrored back that the shelf originally had with a chalk board or peg board backing.

Pixie, Klondyke, Lolla, and Mario were good dog helpers. I have used an electric drill previously, so taking the shelf apart was not to hard. I had never stripped furniture before, the gel stripper that I purchased from the Home Depot was super sticky, I had a hard time removing the gooey stuff from the wood, but after the three coats I am ready to move on to sanding.

This next week I would like to get 3D letters printed, I would like to sand, paint, and put back together the cabinet. Also I need to cut plexiglass and wood shelves and try to get a cork board or chalkboard to cover the backside. I am feeling the time crunch now that we are at the end of week 4, but I feel confident I will complete my project in time.

The Best Dahl you have ever had

Soak two cups of red lentils, rinse them until foamy water runs clear. 1 tsp of coconut oil One small yellow onion Two garlic cloves A pinky nub of ginger & a nub of fresh turmeric root diced fine.

It's a very nice hair cut

My mother said that I had the most beautiful shaped head of all her daughters. Tomorrow I begin Chemo treatments to prevent the spread of breast cancer throughout my body. I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in January. I was able to stop the spread by removing my breasts and about 27 lymph nodes living underneath my right arm. Now my right arm will be forever susceptible to circulation loss so I will be unable to use tourniquets or needles on the right side ever again. Having chemo treatments is another prophylactic treatment, like my decision to remove my left breast to reduce the risk of the cancer spreading throughout my body. I can reduce the risk from 60% to about 30% by having chemotherapy for the next four months. I hope my 36-year-old head is still as beautiful as my baby cranium was back in the day. I needed to remove the right breast to remove all of the cancer, I had her take the left too because how ridiculous would it look to have just the one size 36 H ti...

“Winning Cancer and Fighting for Information; Analyzing Your Information Behavior Report”

“Winning Cancer and Fighting for Information” My mother is a nurse, growing up we always had a card hanging from the shower nozzle with a diagram explaining how to check for lumps in your breasts. The ritual is simple, place one hand behind the nape of your neck, and while rubbing the breast in a circular motion massage the breast and feel for any lumps around the circumference of the breasts. I did not always remember to check in the shower, but sometimes I would remember to check before dozing off to sleep. It was December 2016 between Christmas and Hanukkah when I found my lump. It felt like a lump of coal under my skin. I guess If I believed in Santa Clause this would mean that I was on the naughty list. During the last couple of years, I have had to expand my medical vocabulary in response to my diagnosis of stage 3, hormone receptor-positive, BRACA gene negative, ductal carcinoma in situ invasive breast cancer. Before diagnosis, if you would have said any of...
