Cancer Sucks
Sorry to interrupt the usual schedule of squee, but I just have to say this.
I've had my share of this point being reinforced (sometimes brutally) over the past 6 years. I'm over it, and so are my friends and my DH. Cancer can just go fuck off this planet, right the hell now.
If only the universe worked this way - we could all just agree to tell cancer to fuck off, and it would. I'd like that an awful lot. Because then we could get rid of a lot of other things too. And you know what, I actually believe that it could work this way. Maybe not for cancer, but for war and violence and hate in all its forms - if we all agreed at the same time to end them? That would be that. Call me a dreamer, but maybe some day we'll grow up enough to make it so.
Today is not that day. Today is the day of my big, fancy birthday party, being co-hosted with a girlfriend who is the same age (we're 6 days apart). We've been looking forward to it for a whole year. We have compatible outfits - kinda like back in high school when you were going on a double date and you asked your BFF if she was going to wear her baggy jeans and hawaiian shirt too... I'll post pics. We got tiaras especially for the occasion. And helium balloons. It will be fun.
But today is also the day that the ENT called the house at 8 am to deliver the biopsy report to DH. That infected tonsil he's been battling for the past couple months - well, that's some type of throat cancer. We won't know if it's the easier type or the aggressive type until after the next rounds of testing, which are being scheduled asap. So, yeah. That happened. After 6 years of bone marrow transplant recovery, I'm pretty pissed off about this development.
And today is the day of my cousin's wedding - which I'm not able to attend, it being in Boise, and scheduled for the same day as my party. I hate missing the big family events, but that's what happens when you decide to live in a city so far away from anyone you're related to. My sister is there so that's something.
And today is the day after Newtown, CT. My daughter teaches in a daycare. She came home really upset, and I bet she stays that way for awhile. I had to hold her and hug her for a long time. And I also have to say, I love my President. That he felt this loss as acutely as the rest of us was evident. That he wasn't ashamed to show how he felt was priceless.
Today is another lesson in the interconnectedness of the universe. Some of these lessons are harder than others.
