Hey pennyy! Just wanted to say hi and welcome to the site. Feel free to use it any way that suits you (including as a personal diary! :). I know it often helps me to write things out when I'm trying to process what's going on so hope it works for you, too. Love your idea to record your thoughts as episodes -- just start writing and you'll be caught up before you know it!
Sounds like you've had a bit of a whirlwind 9 weeks, so I hope things settle down soon and wishing you all the best for your treatment.
~Di
(ps. I'm all for a little TV escape now and then, too... whatever works, I say!)
