Everybody has ups and downs, Liz. We all prefers long ups instead of long downs. I just had a long down myself recently. Concerning illness, a form of depression and having no work at work. Guess the crisis has something to do with that. At least that's our guessing. I hope the summer sales are bringing a change in that. It did leave me a bit depressed, though. But since no massive problems or difficulties has occured, I blame that depression mostly on the boredom at work. And if you work ten hours a day with nothing to do at all, it can really be boring.
Boredom and the sometimes awful Belgian weather. That's even more strange, that the weather began influencing my moods. Good weather, bad weather, sun and rain, I don't care usually and I still don't but the fact that it began influencing my moods is pretty strange. I've been trying to locate reasons for me being down but the only thing I can come up with is the fact of having no work at work. But I feel better now, though.
Usually I go help out somewhere else in the store than, though they don't always have something to do for me. Since a couple of days I have a better feeling again about things, because all I can do is wait till the start of the summer sales.
Now on your story.
I'm glad your brother is alright. The death statistics on cancer has rocketed skyhigh. Something I noticed since my aunt died of it little over a year and half ago.
Just a little piece of advice: if it runs in the family go and have yourself checked out! The sooner they find out the sooner they can get you treated. Couple of weeks back my grandmother had to be taken in at the hospital because she was coughing up blood. We feared cancer but the doctors didn't find anything but she does have the cancer gene. Though she never got the decease. Than her son and youngest daughter (my aunt) died of cancer. My uncle died when he was 18 and had cancer since he was 13 and my aunt died when she was 40. I never knew my uncle but at the age in the late seventies, I didn't think he should try smoking or drinking or anything. My aunt never smoked or used alcohol, worked half time to take care of her kids, always very healthy and she dies of that decease. My mother has been smoking for twenty-five years and she never got any complaints.
Than my mother went to check herself out, she's got the gene too and she had to do all sorts of tests. Don't know anything about the results though, but she said I had to go and check myself out as well. And that's what I need to do, if I ever get the phone number of that doctor. Just take a bloodsample and wait down the results. If I have it too, I have to go and have a check up every year of my life or maybe every two years in the beginning. I'm only 22 you know (and don't intend on dying young).
It's a deadly decease, look at what it's doing to Patrick Swayze! Deadly but cureable. So have you guys checked out in time!
But if a change has occured in your situation Liz, hang in there and go for it. The sun might be around the next bend.
 I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver.
Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you.
It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.
