It's been a really rough time for at least 24 months. While a lot of the world was quarantined & made to stay home my job only increased & got more challenging. Some weeks I was getting 60+ hours & only seeing my beloved family in a few minute pockets a day. I need social interaction to be mentally healthy so this only brought me down. Then I got more work and it became a spiraling staircase downward.
Then in 2021 - as if 2020 wasn't enough of a barbed wire anal infusion - I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I had my colonoscopy followed by an abdominal surgery last Monday. As of now...everything seems to be OK. The specter of death has been removed.
36 hours after my surgery my boss was calling to ask if I could return to work tonight. >.<
No social life. No family life. Non-stop work & fatigue. The hard-core awakening of my mortality & advancing age
This has been a rough two years.
But above all, through all of it, you wonderful incredible and beautiful people stood by me. You encouraged me. You gave me words of support. You made me see there's more to me than a working machine for The Man.
I cannot every express how much all of it meant to me. Thank you, all. Thank you so much.
