On Monday I found out that the leukemia returned. I went through 6 months of chemo and then was in remission for 5 years. I’m just looking for some support. Not doing well with the news. Thank you 💙

It's a beautiful sunshiney day. Quite windy, though. The trees make some creepy sounds when it's windy, but I was brave. #Spike #Thursday #Dogsofbluesky

The painting shown in the image is an oil-on-canvas work by the contemporary Chinese realist painter Liu Yuanshou. Born in Beijing in 1967, Yuanshou is known for his figurative realism, often depicting women in evocative, expressive poses, with bold splashes of red fabric.

“Are you the branch manager?” “Yes I am, how can I help you?” “I would like two branches, please.” “How would you like that?” “Two big sticks, four little sticks.”

Then, she mouthed … to me, like with no sound: ‘Help,’” Abohatem recounted to the outlet. He described getting out from behind the front counter’s protective glass, placing himself between the man and the girl and ordering him to leave the business.

Actor-author George Takei turns 89 today... Takei brought enjoyment to so many thru his performances in Perry Mason, Black Sheep Squadron, the iconic Star Trek TOS/movies... An American patriot, he & his family endured racially motivated internment camps of the 1940s... Live longer, Mr. Takei!

Yesterday, I had announced that I was tired and might take a nap after I had lunch. After eating, I told my husband I was going to take a nap. He told me he'd preheated my side of the bed by turning on my electric blanket 20 minutes earlier. I have a great husband.
