20 commutes in 2020 — #3: Work from home.

Helena Kotala

Outdoor adventurist. Mostly bikes, also runs, paddles, hikes, and more. Map-maker & other duties as assigned at the Pennsylvania Environmental Council. Central PA based.

Tandemonium pandemonium. August = steamy mornings and a cicada, cricket and katydid soundtrack. Sunset at Saussers. 🧡 Tomorrow is interim scan day. Time to find out if chemo is working. The #scanxiety is real. It’s become a routine for @_whit_green_ and I to ride together the morning of every round of chemo. A compilation of morning rides. A bike ride a day keeps the anxiety at bay. Getting chemo is better than not getting chemo, it turns out. Turt alert.
