My other friend had her second mastectomy and well, it's a mastectomy, you know. Means cancer and all the rest of that stuff. So, she had a cyst removed on her neck and she doesn't have any pain right now, so this is a good thing. There's not a lot I can do for my friend that had the second mastectomy, but I am a master crocheter. Yeah, I know that sounds really dumb. I actually took a master's exam in crochet back in 2015. So, and I know this again sounds really dumb, but there are patterns for breasts that are crocheted in three-dimensional things and they go into a person's bra to make a breast in case of the fact that some people cannot handle the prosthesis and some of the reconstructive things at this point in their lives and they need something so they can feel decent going outside. So, I created two breasts this week. They're not that hard to make and it's kinda funny, but I did it. I'm very pleased with the fact that they look pretty good. And I hope that they work for her. So we'll find that out next week when I can go visit her and deliver to her what I made for her. Kind of crazy!

I -- my -- one of my best friends and I decided that we were just gonna go camping and we did. We found -- I, I don't know where she got the tent. I don't know if -- she's not a real camper either. So maybe she borrowed it from somebody or -- I, I really am not sure where the tent came from. But we borrowed a tent and sleeping bags and the whole getup. And this was in Oregon. And I really -- I, I remember camping beside this river, and it was gorgeous, and we were like the only ones around, and I remember saying to her, "Eight billion people" -- or whatever it was at the time, six billion, seven billion people -- "on the planet and we are nowhere near anyone." And it was just very peaceful and very nice.Um, but we had slept on the hard ground, and I probably had not -- you know, didn't feel like I had, had bathed properly and there, there was probably sand all over everything and, and all these things that I don't really like about camping. But, um, but I do remember that moment of, of being alone by this river and just thinking about how amazing it is that there are so many people on this planet and there's so many times when you're surrounded by so many people, and yet there we were. It was just really cool.

A time I had to shelter from a storm... You know, I, I remember one specifically very terrifying instance. Um, we didn't have the dogs at the time. We just had our older two cats. And we were going to a friend's house, not realizing that, um, the rain was going to turn to storms which would spawn tornadoes.Um, this was the time that there were several tornadoes that touched down in Dexter, believe it was. We were living in Ypsilanti at the time. And the sky turned green, and our cats were at home, and it was just terrifying knowing that, you know, sitting in our friend's basement, you know, looking at the green skies and rolling clouds through the egress window and knowing my babies were at home. It was terrifying.So yeah. You know, that's the, the biggest. I guess that's the closest I remember ever getting to there being a tornado in the sense of yeah, it looked like it was going to happen.
