Promotions & Cancer

First I got promoted, well indirectly.

The other manager in the north of the state has resigned, so I have been given the opportunity to take over the lot, double the work load.

Naturally I have taken it - if I don't I won't get another chance.
Someone else gets the job, and it doesn't come up again for years.

I KNOW it's going to be bloody rough until my health has improved more.
But that's life.
It's fucking hard.

Mum was all ready to increase the hours she is helping me.

Then she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

It has all unfolded over the last two weeks.

She been diagnosed, operated on, and home again.

Now we are just waiting for the results, and I am trying not to lose my mind with the anxiety and overwhelm I am experiencing.

Maybe she will be fine.

But it's never going to go away for her.

For the rest of her life.

I hate that she has to go through this.

I hate that I am not well enough to help her like I'd want to.
