This timeline is not fun all around
I posted this to Bluesky just now:
Coworker gets a pass now to babble as much as she damn well pleases. She's already battling breast cancer and now it looks like she gets to add colon cancer to the fight.
She can drive me buggy with the incessant chatter but she has the biggest heart. Wishing her all the healing
She's a few years younger than me and even through all her issues, she will STILL text to check how I'm doing and will light a candle for me or my Dad. She's Catholic and actually someone that I truly believe lives the gold standard for religious folks. Yesterday she was being very attention-seeking regarding work things and driving me a bit crazy with it. She's one of those people that has to be talking ALL THE TIME and comes in the office always on the phone with someone. She shares pretty much everything about her life to everyone she meets.
I told her that I've been feeling the urge to do SOMETHING lately and have been burning a candle near a picture of my Mom that I recently put up and I'd like to return the favor of a candle burning for her, which she said she'd appreciate. It makes me feel less helpless so I ordered some more (non-paraffin, non-scented so safer around kitties) candles along with some small other metaphysical bits.
Dad's ongoing issues has him fretting which he shares (he still hasn't done #2 so hopefully the nursing staff at his facility can help him with that better today). So I'll send as many good vibes while trying to calm my own there too.
