Get Well Soon

I mentioned previous about losing my bff. It was not a death, but an abrupt severing of the relationship.

Recently another friend of mine mentioned that she had posted on her Facebook that she’d had another stroke & that her husband had performed CPR on her while he waited for the ambulance. Dunno the extent of truth in that, cuz she’s always been a bit of a drama queen. But she was definitely in the hospital & taken by ambulance.

Apparently she was home a few days later, so I suspect not quite as life threatening as she alluded to.

Either way, I was driving by her neighbourhood on my way to & from a doctor’s appointment, so I stopped off at Dollarama to get a simple Get Well Soon card. In it I wrote:

“I know we are no longer friends, but I wish you no ill will. I hope you finally get your health issues sorted out. I also hope that you get things resolved with Brett for the long term He’s a good guy. K”

I dropped off the card on my way home. The next days I am informed she has a new post “Whoever is talking about me behind my back, you are welcome to unfriend me.” I guess she didn’t appreciate the card.

The thing she doesn’t realize, if that’s “talking about her behind her back” people have been doing that for as long as I’ve known her.

Masks for May

May is Fibromyalgia Awareness Month

May 12th is Fibromyalgia Awareness Day.

My niece is in her final year of a specializes Illustration BA program. I asked her for some design ideas for masks to celebrate.. or.. acknowledge.. Spread Awareness! For Fibromyalgia.. She is still working on her final projects,so she’s been super busy & has not had a chance, but will shortly. Below are some ideas I stole that I think would work or something similar. Thoughts?

^{Stylized Ribbons.. I also have the online alias of NeonRose, so the rose on the left is totally appropriate for me.. 😉}

I also have a black shirt that says “This Shirt Turns Black When I’m in Pain”. While I wasn’t planning on having black masks I was considering the dark purple and this would work on that as well.

Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?
