It's astonishingly lovely here! But everyone is so accomplished, and I'm just sittin' around healing from a brain tumour and hoping that enormous lump in my neck isn't cancer.
I am writing every day, though. Perhaps I'll be the next Solzhenitsyn. Must write faster.

Honouring and remembering the children who never came home to their families and the children and generations affected by this tragedy. Shame, Canada. 🧡🇨🇦

It's #NationalDogDay .
Me with Darlington's Flamboyant Charles (otherwise known as "Chaz") 45 years ago. He was a bit of an idiot, but I loved him.

Man is the only Patriot. He sets himself apart in his own country, under his own flag, and sneers at the other nations, and keeps multitudinous uniformed assassins on hand at heavy expense to grab slices of other people's countries and keep them from grabbing slices of his.

This feels like my safe space to whinge, and I do apologize. For weeks it's been pelvic cramping, then lower back pain, and today it's mouth ulcers and an odd kidney result in my latest blood work. Gonna go and look at funny cancer memes on my phone. I'm fine, really. Yes. No.

A cancer patient caught in the wild after two scans this afternoon. No waiting room shoe pics today. One week wait for results. Obv expecting the worst. The smile is for finally getting a call this morning with my next surgery date! #CanSky #OncoSky #Scanxiety #CancerBS

We're on strike for a fair contract and basic respect. Instead of bargaining, our employer brought us Timbits.
We want a fair deal!
Send a letter to help pressure them to bargain in good faith.

Shoutout to my sweet neighbour, Xiang, who often asks after my health. 💜 Today she told me she once had a lump in her neck, too, but she ate a lot of kale and it went away. Wonder how much kale I'd have to consume to rid myself of this 10.5cm lump, plus all the others. 😉 #CanSky #OncoSky #CancerBS

I went for comfort and wore shabby shoes to my physical today. Left with requisitions for pelvic ultrasound, colonoscopy, mammogram, dermatology, blood work, and a gyno exam. Still waiting for a surgery date to have everything removed from my neck. #cansky #cancerbs #oncosky #obligatoryshoeshot
