@Maymay941 Thanks for noticing, May. My best friend’s dad died of lung cancer a few days before Christmas. I’ve been part of their family since age 10, so it was a dark Christmas, helping them with his estate matters. I stayed with her mom for two nights at Christmas that resulted in my parents screaming at me for several days (they were jealous of the attention). But being with friends during such a sadness was the right thing to do, even if totally depressing.
My somewhat ex-husband (we’re still legally married) and his girlfriend came to visit for a ski. He is dying of rectal cancer that had already spread to his lymphatic system and liver by the time he was diagnosed with the rectal tumor in September. He has less than a year to live, as well. I did find the light in this mess - time spent with friends and family - despite it being the darkest holiday of my life. I made it through, but the extreme lack of sleep meant my immune system was downtrodden so in marched Flu B to take advantage, and it stuck.
I’m behaving respectfully and not going out in public - don’t want others to catch my flu - and I don’t want to get Omicron on top of the flu, either, and end up with the dreadful Flurona.
I took a new job in October which coupled with my broken foot and being no weight bearing, had left me little time to be here on the Forum. I’m working as a Producer at Activision Blizzard King (ABK), the world’s largest video game company. It cracks me up because I *hate* video games and consider them a scourge of society. But I love *producing* so it’s worth it. I jumped straight into relentless 18-22 work days. There are only 10 Producers for over 10,000 employees. We need to double our producing staff but the budget isn’t there. So I’ve had little sleep since October. That’s also part of why I was so rundown I got the Flu, and part of why I’m not as active here any more. Plus the broken foot. So there, now we’re all caught up, dear!
In the few hours I’m awake each day with the flu, I’m trying to get caught up on the NAFC boards.
