I’m waiting to hear results from a biopsy I had Friday. If it’s cancer, it’s one you don’t generally come back from. Been trying to prepare myself for it, but been drinking a ton instead. I haven’t decided if I’ll even get treatment if it is cancer to be honest. It’s weird that my best friend is more upset than I am. I’m kinda ready to just let go if I’m terminal.
Wow, I’m sorry. I would also like to know when you’re supposed to hear back, if you feel like sharing. I feel like there’s no wrong way to react to news like this, so whatever you are feeling and thinking makes sense.
Well. It wasn’t good news. Stage 1 pancreatic cancer. I’ve decided to do treatment mainly for others than for me. I feel like this is a dream I’m gonna wake up from, but yeah…
I am so very sorry. I hope the treatment helps since you are choosing to do it even though it’s for others. I can’t even imagine what you’re going through right now, and I very sincerely want to give you a big hug.
Homes are being constructed near mine. Constant noise. I work in a noisy environment. My folks were in town last week, and we had house guests this weekend. I was unable to recharge.
I had a melt down yesterday, and understood why I felt what I felt but couldn’t get out of a mental loop. I was short with a housemate (but slept it off). She knows I’m third generation bipolar.
I didn’t say anything I regret, but she was trying to be helpful and my attitude was out of order. I apologized to her today. She said she didn’t take offense but was worried about me. It’s a relief to know I live with people that are willing to take this (unmedicated) journey with me.
It is a relief to have someone in your life who can understand and empathize. I, too, have made many apologies after being short or angry. Not everyone gets it and is willing to give chance after chance.
I’m sorry to hear about the noise, that sounds hellish. Hopefully you are able to recharge more this weekend!
Thank you <3

I’m just recovering from pneumonia, secondary up some RSV my lovely daughter and I cought for Christmas. On the day I finally went in to get x-rayed I got a tiny bit hypo, which resulted in poor sleep. But I was able to rest a lot Friday, and especially Friday night, and I’ve had a lovely weekend with my two kiddos.
Tomorrow is the beginning of a big week, so I’m very excited!
I hope your recovery is going smoothly and your big week is going fantastically well :)
Thank you! My recovery is not going so great–teaching all day is really taking it out of me. But that other thing ended up going really well, and I think we’ll be fully into phase II next week! I was able to outsmart this tiresome woman and her very expensive attorneys, and they feels great. Such a waste of time!
Yay for outsmarting her and her attorneys!!! Glad you can move forward with that now.
I’m sorry to hear about your recovery not going great though. I hope you can find some space to rest, but I know that can be difficult.
