That is fantastic news @Anastasia
You have some breathing space - with more scans to be check on in a few months - cysts yes - they are usually harmless and we all have them somewhere as we get older
Enjoy dinner with your girlfriend tonight - that will be a night out - and should be good fun
I almost wish I was there

I wish you were too @Owlunar
I would love nothing more than a meaningful heart to heart and some belly laughs with you over some delicious food and a glass of something.
Sad to report whatever was going on in her phone was by far more fun than me. I cut it short. Contemplating bothering in the future *sigh

Hi @Anastasia
Your friend's phone was more interesting than you!! - I hate it when that happens
And there has to be some kind of unspoken phone ettiquette - when I am talking to someone whatever else is mostly unimportant - and that is sad that someone couldn't leave her phone on silent when having dinner with you
Yeah - sigh - think about it before going there again -
It would be great for us to have a coffee or a wine or both and chat and laugh ourselves silly over dinner - a couple of wines would set me off for the evening

Oh, how disappointing and disrespectful towards you @Anastasia I do know how you feel, & it's not very nice.
Yes, definately think twice before your next catch up.
I know if it were you & I catching up, there would be lots of laughs, lots of stories and a few sparklings in the mix.
I hope you've bounced back from last nights unfortunate dinner.. xxx

Hello @Emelia8 @WIP and @Owlunar
Yes she's always been a "phone" person but last night took the cake as it was just the two of us so impossible not to take notice. Just hurt and I think too as I get older I realise just how precious time is so I don't intend on wasting it on people that don't have the same affection for me. Life's a funny journey isn't it?
Imagine a dinner with us oh how much fun would it be and @Eve7 too!
You have all put a smile on my face.
Had another massage today and I smell like licorice hehe. Difficult to motivate myself now just could flake out on the lounge.
I've done a little bit of Christmas shopping today so happy that I have finally made a start. ✔️Hoping you are all ok and sending love and hugs x
