OT - the Anikis have a grandson!

We just zoomed with SS25, Mrs SS, and baby. 7 lbs 11 oz, 23 inches long, an adorable little mouth, and a full head of dark curls.

SS: Look, son! There's grandma and grandpa!

Mrs SS: They love you sooo much!

It's true... DH is over the moon and I am in love and cannot wait to kiss his precious little head! *air_kiss*

OT - Thankful Thursday

It's been a hot minute since I did one of these. I hope PB will take time to consider all of the things for which she can be thankful.

I am extremely thankful for the StepTalk family.

Yes, I consider StepTalk to be a family. We laugh, support each other, tell hard truths with caring, and reach out to those who are scared or hurting. Reading all of the comments on PB's last blog, witnessing this family reach out... I'm not crying. You're crying.

OT - Eff Off Friday

Aniki-Moderator's picture

Friday at last. This is a short one.

Eff off to:

  • Cancer. Four days ago, I attended the funeral of a dear friend's mother, who passed away from lung cancer. Non-smoker. This coming Monday, I will once again don funeral attire to attend the funeral of a life-long friend's mother, who passed from brain cancer. A cousin's husband passed last week from - can you believe it - cancer. They were traveling at the time so the funeral will be weeks away. CANCER SUCKS.

 

Wishing you a stress-free, healthy, and enjoyable weekend.

OT - my Dad

Aniki-Moderator's picture

Totally off topic, but...

My 93yo Dad has been admitted to the hospital for his heart. If you could spare a prayer or some positive energy, it would be greatly appreciated. It's a 24+ hour drive for me to to him and it might not even be necessary (could be medication). This Daddy's Girl is trying to stay calm.

OT - Eff Off Friday/ Forn Friday

Happy Friday, STalkers! Sorry I'm so late in posting. What a day. Ugh. I thought 2024 would be somewhat calmer at work. Ha! We started the year off with multiple bangs. I thought, "I'll start the new year on February 1." Things got crazier and I give up! 2024 has been a freaking rollercoaster thus far.

OT - AITA

Aniki-Moderator's picture

A friend (we'll call her Rachel) has been dealing with a medical issue for several years. It does cause her discomfort on occasion, but is not fatal and does not shorten her time on this rock.

We met for dinner last night. As soon as the waiter took our order, she immediately launched into a tirade about how her doctor's office never called her back.
