willow so sad. I had a school classmate who was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer during a C-section. She lived a few years after her diagnosis but ugh, so sad.

I’m sorry willow This makes me so angry. When my MIL was in the hospital, my H and BIL were not able to get updates on her condition. Magically, when I went I was able to get the info.

willow, fuck cancer, and fuck colon cancer in particular. My H was diagnosed stage IV in October and hearing the doctor say that his life expectancy is in years (she may have said 5, being generous) was the worst moment of my life and I'm sorry that your family is dealing with this as well. I am glad that she has started responding to treatment. I know I'm a total stranger, but I'm here and know what you are going through if you ever need an ear.

Hi! I haven’t been here because I’ve been drowning the past week.
Attempting to catch up from a full week in a crowded house where zero work got done Forgetting to refill my anxiety meds for 3 days turned me into a weepy basket case Ran out of my vitamins that give me energy at the same time so I was an exhausted and anxious zombie for a few days
Anyways. Meds are refilled, got my vitamins on hand again, so I feel normal. I’m still drowning work-wise as this Covid bill is finally moving and state governments are reaching out to me to buy tests and takeover their vaccine logistics since they are about to have beaucoups of money. Lol
BUT hopefully funding and states having resources will help hasten the return to safety in time for summer camps and vacations. What will best help my mental health is being able to send my kiddos to camps occasionally this summer, and to safely plan road trips to visit friends.

willow, I’m so sorry. I will keep them in my prayers. Colon cancer is such an asshole. I have a friend who is in her late 20s who was diagnosed last year. She is responding well to treatment but has 5 little kids at home, and it’s just such bullshit. I agree that we need to reevaluate our recommendations for colonoscopies and also normalize talking about butt stuff more so we can know early warning signs. Colon health needs the same awareness campaign that breast health has had the past 10+ years.

I'm in a funk today. I'm just struggling with children. And school and work and resenting my body and mh and i know I'm just in a mood. But it's just a lot. I need quiet. I can't even go on my balcony to work right now because the construction on this stupid house near us is making my dogs crazy.

Yesterday I woke up literally thinking “Fuck this, fuck that,” like the kitten in the gif. The one year anniversary of COVID restrictions is getting to me. I’m apparently cycling through the same emotions of grief I was going through last spring. But anyway, I was shocked by how strong my anger at our current situation was. I’m not usually an angry person.
Today is a better day. The sunshine is helping. The J&J and Merck news and the promise of vaccines is helping. You all are helping. I’m feeling much more grounded. And I am so grateful for this community. ❤️

Minerva, add in a little more anger towards the school system, and I could have written your post. Plus also, DD1 threw a fit on Sunday and was thisclose to quitting horseback riding on Sunday because she didn't get a specific horse she wanted (and there was no prior expectation that she would). She is in quite the phase right now.
