One: Just over six weeks ago, it was New Year’s, and my social media feed was filled with earnest exhortations to leave behind what no longer serves you. That list is always pretty accessible to me—perfectionism, avoidance, workaholism, fear of failure, self-doubt, procrastination, family size bags of tortilla chips—but what I didn’t have on my list was my appendix. Nine days into the New Year, the good people at my county hospital took it from me. The general surgeon who was tasked with the job afterward pronounced it “nasty”, before sending off the little wrinkled thing to some lab bench where it was memorialized (rupture!) in a report on My Health Portal.
Loved this. Looking forward to sharing with my sons, who also love to write, and also struggle to sit. More llama content, please.
Hope you like goats, too!
Your last six weeks in five parts was a fun perspective. Of course the feral llamas was my fave...your survival too!
Welcome to the hive, darling. Good to hear your voice.
Thank you so much, Karen!!
So happy to read you again, Emily, I've missed your words.
Thank you, Raksha. I love seeing you here. I can't wait to read about your travels.
