PJ you are in my thoughts this week. It makes me sad to hear you’re sad. And yet....I sit here wondering if I say “send some of that sadness here, because you’re my friend,” maybe the sad-o-meter just went down just a tad.
I am on steroids, so I can take it! Sad me! Who knew chemo treatment involved steroids? I didn’t. If I grow a beard, I might join the circus as a bearded lady. Might be kind of fun, yes? Turban to hide my bald head, nice beard...probably get a promotion at work! “ I see you’re a man now, here’s a raise and stop worrying about coming to work on time.” The insurance biz is terribly gender biased. I’m bitter as you can see.
Medical treatment is just plain odd frankly PJ. Classic picture of the line with flyer. YEP! I stopped trying to make sense of much of it, and instead am making fun of 90% of it. I just have to get thru the stupid stuff to get to the important stuff....5 pointless visits to get to surgery, 5 more to get to chemo, 12 weeks of poison tolerance to get me to radiation....33 daily rads to get me to....one pill a day so we can then start wondering if any of it worked. It will!
My dentist asked me a zillion questions about my situation. I finally just said...are you thinking about leaving dentistry to go into oncology? Next question, I then asked, why do you want to know that? The questions stopped and my teeth all of a sudden were done. I dont have to answer every question anyone ask me. And neither do you!
I liked your picture of traffic in a rural drive. Ironical.
You’re going to be ok. I hope all the medical silliness improves your wellness.

Greta post, Lill. We can do hard stuff- and yours is waaaaay harder than mine.
Thanks.
Sadometer dropped a little. Just the Xmas with no immediate family shadows my thoughts at times. Way better than drinking it away.

I have the perfect solution for the beard....
There is the greatest new product on the market ever....I lost my mind over this...in a good way...
It is called the flawless hair remover. I bought two, and a little one that is for eyebrows. Just heaven. xxxxAnd I love what you said to your dentist.
And selfishly.....please please can you help me love? I DO NOT understand insurance here....medical in particular and I am desperate to learn and fix our policies.

But my sister is also an artist and I think you would get along well.
I know it's auntie/uncle and not your kids, but I still think that your Christmas day is going to end up being lovely.

Perish the thought!!!
It is never bland in B-land.
'tis the opposite of bland....it is filled with colour....(notice the 'u'.....us Aussies have more colour or more in the word colour so just bigger colour).....

So is it for sale?
I know it isn't....but am I allowed to steal the image and print it out to have it in my house?
Oh.....Australians are just SO cheeky.....
Thinking of you PJ....I have to go to bed soon....but I am going to be around in 8 hours odd....before your surgery....as in, in the evening to chat to you and wish you well.

Good morning! Sorry for being away so long and missing so much. Not really sure I have a reason that would make sense. I know the inevitable question is “have I been drinking?” And the answer is...mostly not (so yes) Still doing all the right things though - therapy, yoga etc. Not perfection but certainly lots of progress. I’m not caught up here but I did want to say to Lillian - ❤️❤️❤️ Have a great day everyone!

Sam! I'm so happy to see you! Welcome back.
Best wishes for a successful surgery and quick recovery, PJ! I, too, want to buy that canvas. Thnaks for being you.
Good to hear you're taking it all in stride, Lillian. It can't be easy but you make it look that way.
Happy Wednesday and much love to all.
And MITA, if I'm ever in AZ, I'm absolutely down for support and a non-alcoholic beverage.
