Hiding

Jul 21, 2010 18:06

I've been in hiding mode lately. It's what I do when I'm feeling stressed or threatened. I hide. As if whatever's bothering me is the big bad wolf and so long as my house is built of bricks and I don't open the door, I'll be fine. But that doesn't work so much. Not when the thing that you're afraid of is cancer, and it isn't even happening to you ( Read more... )

*hughughug* I love you a lot, you know.

I know what you mean. Too many, too soon. And way too many personal close to my heart adventures with the Big C.

F#(K Cancer.

*hugs*

Yes. F#(K Cancer. *hug*

Watching friends fight cancer is hard enough when you don't have those childhood triggers. It's even tougher with them.

Keeping you in my thoughts.

Thank you.

I don't think this kind of thing is easy for anyone. If there's anything I can do to make it a little less hard for you, though, just say the word.

*nod* J thinks I'm overreacting.

Social time would be good. Doing something fun.

This isn't the kind of thing that responds to rational evaluation; reaching for that goal is good, but it isn't surprising that your brain should be freaking out right now.

I almost have a short story done, so I was going to e-mail ZUHT peeps about a meeting. Also, might be free this weekend -- possibly Sunday?

I'm really glad you have J for support right now. I wish I could be there more for you, if there is anything I can do from 2000 miles away, let me know.

*hugs* It sounds trite, I know... but just hearing from you helps a lot.

And good luck. It sounds like you're pretty busy days.

Thank you! I'm looking at visiting the bay area in October, btw, coinciding with the ABL masquerade. I'll let you know more when things are more concrete.
