Friday at last. Unfortunately, it's shaping up to be another Groundhog-like Day. This has been a shite week.

I only have one thing today...

Eff off to:

  • Cancer. That vile bastard got another one. One of my oldest and dearest friends lost his mother to that monster. She was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a double mastectomy, did the chemo, and has been cancer-free for almost 20 YEARS. Uterine cancer slithered in like a viper and struck. She was diagnosed on January 12, 2020. and passed away last night. I called her Aunt Mary. RIP, dear lady. I am bereft.

 

Hold your loved ones close and be thankful for their presence; be thankful you can touch them, speak with them. Never let anger prevent you from telling them you love them. It might be the last chance you get.

Wishing all of you peace, love, and warmth.
Aniki

So sorry for the loss Aniki, we lost my great Aunt last week to cancer, it was fast, she was diagnosed and passed a few days later.

My Eff off is to allergies! Mine are kicking my a$$ today and I am not loving being here at work with the flourescent lights at all!

I'm sorry for your loss, advice. xo

Allergies suck. I've tried countless medications and the only thing that works for me is Benadry.

As you know, my dad went through a similar fate, so I know exactly how you feel.  I have a close childhood friend who has recently been diagnosed with a rare form of a bone sarcoma - her scan is Sunday night. 

Cancer SUCKS and I am so sorry, Ani.

Queen, I OFTEN wonder why things like this happen to good people while horrible people seem to get away with the most awful things. Pact with the devil? Karma obviously needs some backup. Sad

{{hug}} back to you.
