Lost another friend to cancer today. Catherine was a beautiful young woman who went to the doc for a toothache three years ago, and found that her entire jaw was cancerous. Fought it, got a new jaw, won, fought it again, won, fought it again... and this time was just too much for her body to handle.

She went into hospice care on Thanksgiving, and died this morning, with her husband and parents by her side.

Damnit.

And now I am leaving work to go see the Burlesque Nutcracker.

Life: it doth yank one's chain mightily.

Damnit.
