I thought I was too old to be one of those people who'd be affected by seeing posts of other people's parties that I didn't get invited to.

Turns out I still care.

Damn it.

Just found out that one of my friends from college has died. I am so devastated. She was married to another one of my dear friends from college, and they have twin daughters who are starting their senior year in high school.

How do I best support them? They live in another state.

This morning I went out to my chicken coop and found three of my little chicks were dead.

I am so sad. All three were the same breed (buff laced Polish) and were all huddled together. 😢

Five months ago today, I received a liver transplant @Stanford that saved my life. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of the amazing gift that the donor gave me (and countless others).

Please be an #organdonor. It's the greatest #giftoflife.

Get to have my first paricentesis tomorrow. I do not think I am looking forward to this at all - even though probably not a big deal in the grand scheme of everything.

Forgot that I had this (Bluesky) and am so happy that I do!

Should probably use it - so here goes... :)

I've been through some major life tranforming things in the last year (but esp the last 2 weeks!) so maybe I'll explore that here.

Want to start a blog - know of a good way to do that? #thx

I would like cats, except for that I am wildly allergic to them. And the one from next door who visits every day doesn't like me either, which doesn't help. :(
