Time limit on your life

Have you ever had a health scare?

Yep I sure have. It’s very scary and also very difficult to stay calm and present and think positive when your brain is imagining the worst.

I need to go back for a repeat ultrasound sometime this winter as there’s a small cyst or something in my right boob that they’re keeping an eye on. I’d have never known it if I hadn’t gone for a screening mammogram. It sucks because it’s my favourite boob. Anyway…

There are people with a lot worse health scares that’s for sure. I was just telling Clint last night on our walk about a lady here in town who is the same age as me, who recently went through a double mastectomy only to find out the cancer has spread into her bones.

Imagine. It’s so sad and heartbreaking.

I had been talking to Clint about whether or not I am going to run for city council and I said if I don’t do it now then I wait another four years and I could be dead by then. He said oh c’mon, as if. So that’s when I told him the story of this lady with the breast cancer.

I said one minute you think you’re perfectly fine, the next minute you have a lump and the next they’re telling you it’s spread everywhere and there is a time limit on your life.

It happens just like that. So scary.

In other news it snowed all morning yesterday! It melted as it hit the ground, thank god, but still! I tried to take pics but you can’t see a single snowflake for some reason.

This morning it’s very chilly and we’ve had our first frost.

Okay so I tried to pull off that look that I loved yesterday (thanks Pinterest), the Barbie t-shirt actually gets a lot of comments lol, don’t mind my hair, I walked to work in the rain/snow/crazy wind that took my breath away

  1. the first frost! can you believe we’re already at that point of the year??

    well, at least you have cool t-shirts that offset the fact that we’re almost at 2027 😰

  2. about health scares and time limits, there is nothing like getting a glimpse of your mortality to scare you into reexamining priorities and habits! i’m glad you’re healthy and i’m praying for that lady who got the bad news.

  4. We’re getting to that “hmmm…I’d like to take another look at that weird lump” age. Sending you good vibes–here’s hoping it’s one of the million kinds of harmless lumps we pick up over the years!

  8. Life is weird isn’t it? I can’t imagine what that woman must be thinking and feeling. You have major surgery to save your life and you come home and you’re feeling great and then you get that news. I don’t know how a person copes. I hope you decide to run for the city council. And why is Barbie on trial?!

    1. I don’t know how a person copes either, it’s so horrible 😢
      Thanks for the “vote” of confidence Michael, I’m still not sure what to do!

  11. 🤣 You’re impossible. The opening of this post is both hilarious and concerning. Hopefully, everything turns out fine in the end for the sake of your favorite one. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 The T-shirt is pretty cool!

  12. I learnt at a very young age that “ tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone” so I try and live my life, particularly now I’m retired doing what I want 🤣.

    City Council will no doubt be time consuming so it will be a balancing act but if you feel confident I’d go for it!
