Aug 12 Loaded for Bear

The phrase “loaded for bear” means you are well armed to meet any problem.

In the days of muskets, the gunpowder charge could be adjusted depending on the size of the animals you expected to encounter in the wilderness.

So if you were hunting bear, or simply entering their territory, you went into the bush well armed with an extra charge loaded into your musket.

Today I am "Loaded for Bear". My chemo cocktail is swirling around and doing some serious  damage killing everything in it's path. In addition to the chemo cocktail I am full of meds that are intended to hold of the worst of the side effects of the chemo. It is a wicked combination! 


I wrote that last night and intended to add the photo this morning then leave for work. However like so many wicked cocktails this one stopped me in my tracks. I've been nursing a migraine all day. I slept in till about 2:00pm then landed on the sofa for the rest of the afternoon. Sorry, no photo, tomorrow will be a better day.
