Just wanted to ask you @Anastasia ... are you okay?
You've been around supporting others, but not really sounding yourself. I know you are busy with work ... but .... ?
Just a little worried about you is all. Maybe I'm just being silly. 😔
Anyhow ... sending you my love 💓

I'm really not Em 😭
Can't explain it. Just super drained. Not happy. Not a good day/life. Just want to run away @Emelia8

Im thinking about running away too @Anastasia . Well kind of, anyway. The bc nurse told me I was eligible for funding to stay in paid accom at the hospital during my radiation therapy. It would save me about 3 hrs travelling every day, and it wouldnt cost me anything.. It sounds so very appealing. An escape from my commitments at home, a break from caring for hubby. A chance to concentrate just on me, and the treatment I have to undergo. But I will have to make arrangements for hubbys care, and not sure I can.
So I guess what I'm saying is that to run away, to escape, is different for everyone. It could be a weekend away with bf, without having to also worry about your boy. Or it could be an hour spent with a good friend over coffee.
Does this make sense?
