Oh Natalie, please get out of my brain! It is too freaky for you to be writing thoughts in my brain. Other than the fact that my husband knew and understood me to a T when he was alive, and these thoughts were in my head from our trip to Hawaii in 1998, I would be scared that you were stalking me with some thought capture machine. Now I realize that , no, we both have chronic migraines and we both have chronic pain. I wish I knew how to make you feel better. I do know without my husband, the person who grounded me and understood me, my senses are amplified. Not good when in pain and having a migraine. Wrangling that dragon without my knight is harder. He lost his fight with his bone cancer dragon. Keep fighting 💪.
Wow that is weird! Sounds like we are pain sisters. I can’t imagine losing my knight, everything would be so much harder for me too. Don’t give up, my friend! You can always reach out to me when the going gets tough.
LOL the title = the writer’s most insidious source of stress. I find it is often the last thing written, and the most important…it’s like having to high jump in the last 10 meters of a 100-meter dash. Or, you know, a better simile 😆
Though I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy some wonderful holidays, I can’t say any of them rescued me in any way from the depths of chronic illness.
I’ve been connecting with dragons recently and they’re a creature that I see as protection. Based on that and the drawing, I’m wondering “what’s the chronic illness protecting us from?”
Have you tried acupuncture made me giggle! I do loads of acupuncture for my IBD, and it definitely helps, as it does for my neck pain. I don't know if you have an IBD, but what really gets me is people constantly asking me what I can eat...because the answer is always a shocker : not much! My poor mother is desperate to feed me whenever I see her and cannot understand that the last thing I want is food! What can you eat? Again! Which makes my husband laugh because he can see me trying to think of an answer that won't upset her and earn her another sleepless night! She asked me if I'd tried Alka Selzer! So might I suggest this for a late entry for your cartoon?! Lots of love and laughs! Cesca

Thrilled to be runner up!! Thanks 😊
Everyone is a winner here! If you’d like a print of the cartoon with your caption, DM me your address.
Yes, please. The best and most succinct post headline and subheading I’ve seen all day 💙
I guess I shouldn't say I stressed over the title? Haha. Thanks for reading!

So very true!
Aww I missed that note lol. And I haven't been on a vacation in forever. I'm glad you at least got away from "normal" for a while.
I think most of my notes go straight into the void. So what would your caption be??
Ummm it's too early on a Saturday for me to think lol. Still on my first coffee ☕️
Love the drawing!

I'm honored! Woohoo! The last time I won something was a few months ago-- The Lotto. I picked 2 numbers correctly and won $1.
So glad you enjoyed Hawaii. Which island?
Woohoo $1! 🎉 🎉 DM me your snail mail address and I will send. We went to Kauai and Maui. Mostly Kauai!
