<![CDATA[Three good things:]]>Three good things:

1. This week is my birthday. Yes, it's the entire week. "IT WAS THE LONGEST LABOR IN HISTORY" my mother used to say, repeatedly, every chance she got. Anyway, to celebrate, my husband Chris made birthday cupcakes, which makes him the bestest of the three good things here.

2. Exactly 4 years ago today I got a pathology report I never expected or wanted: I had anal cancer... and the margins weren't clean. But with great doctors, chemo, radiation, and 4 fun-filled trips to the OR, I got cured. And now I'm at the gym 3 times a week, lifting weights and feeling great. In one more year, we hit that magical 5 year mark and my surgeon can stop looking for trouble.

3. Finally, today, we finish 99% of the things needed to settle my friend Bill's estate. The estate sale went well, the house is sold, and the final trip under the Golden Gate Bridge to scatter Bill and his partner Gordon's ashes has been booked. Bill's 95 year journey is ending, but he will live on in our memories.

But well, we can’t regret the past and we can only look forward and trust medical specialists. Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate them. 🫢

Oh sending my best to her β€οΈπŸ’œπŸ§‘ I know how hard it can be. May her treatment be effective and as gentle as possible. And may your role bring lots of needed support.

If only we had the HPV vaccine when we were young. It is the cause of anal and most cervical cancers. *sigh*

I’m glad you got over the cancer. My wife is now suffering from the same cancer, I hope and wish to be able to celebrate her recovery in a while. Hugs from Spain. πŸ«‚
