You wouldn’t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t do business with someone who lied to you like this.

Last CAT scans showed a wee dark spot on my right lung, getting larger. Another scan in 3 months time to make sure but looks like either radiotherapy or more surgery in my future. After 2+ years of getting the all clear this is a bit of a blow. But onwards... once more into the breach. #fuckcancer

Today is the one year anniversary of my beloved Éowyn's passing. She was rescued after being dumped and became a beloved member of our family for over 12 years. She was a very good girl. In her honor, please enjoy a nice piece of toast, go for a hike, or pick a fight with a squirrel. 🐾💔
