So here I am post diagnosis, in the lull before horrific treatment (cut and burn, poison optional), when I am 'spose to be so keenly aware of every moment, every blessing..........more alive than ever in the face of mortal threat........
YADDA YADDA FRICKIN YADDA.
Guess I missed the noble cancer warrior pose at yoga, people. Cuz I am one surly woman right now. I have no patience. And the snapping I'm doing is NOTHING compared to the snapping I'm thinking.
So now, on top of everything else, I have GUILT for how I'm treating the people closest to me. As if they didn't have enough pain already.
Who knows what I'm talking here???
