Worry beads
Before I left on vacation I was kind of down in the dumps about some things at work. Then my friend Paul died just before we left, and considering the tailspin I go into when a rat dies, imagine my tailspin for the unexpected death of a guy who had been like an uncle to me for 25 years.
I didn't do much at the beach but make necklaces. I've never made jewelry before (I don't wear it often), but for some reason I had picked up a kit at a craft store, and it was sort of mind numbing (in a useful way) to count and string beads.
I got home and work was just as bad as it was when I left, and the air conditioner broke, and my car broke, and rats are wheezing, and I finally made the appointment to have a human doctor look at the lump in my throat that has been nagging me since March.
I figured they'd send me to a gastroentorologist, diagnose me with GERD, and put me on Prilosec.
I did not expect them to send me to a radiologist, find a 4-cm mass on my thyroid, and give me something else to worry about for the next three weeks until I see the surgeon.
Would anyone like a necklace? Or a bracelet? Earrings?

Good luck with everything. I just lost a friend (and not someone I knew for 25 years) and I'm pretty lost over that, so I can't imagine how you're dealing with all of this combined. Big hugs to you; you're in my thoughts, sister.
