Hello!

[phyncke]

 Hi all - I am here and just scanning the journals. I made it through Halloween and did not partake of candy. We had a really great Halloween Party at work that I get to organize and it was totally fun. We do local hot dogs and potluck. Had a great time. I don't really get trick or treaters at my house so I don't have to buy candy for anyone

Ehh, I keep meaning to do a post and don't get there. I'm way, way overdue. Months overdue!

So far I know about two exchanges coming up. This one isn't open for sign ups yet but I did it last year and there were some great fics and art: https://officialtolkiensecretsanta.tumblr.com/post/188762432592/tolkien-secret-santa-2019-is-happening And then, though the past two years haven't appealed to me as much, there's SeSa: https://lotr-sesa.livejournal.com/88869.html And MSV signups will open in a few weeks. So --- there will be writing.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, though catching it early is always good and more often than not leads to a full recovery. My cousin had her mastectomy years ago and goes for a check up each year and has been clear long enough that if they were to find something it would be seen as a new cancer, not a recurrence. But yeah, it's still a frightening word.

Thanks for this info. I need to write something.

I am so glad they caught it early with MM. So glad. MM is having a lumpectomy and breast reduction. So she will do that.

Do a post and I will try and read it!

I was going to tell you about the LotR SeSa but Kei beat me to it. :)

Hope your friend heals fast.
