I think I’ve said it before. Actually, I know I have, but it can’t be said too often. I have the bestest two sisters in the world and I am most sad that there are massive amounts of water between us. Luckily for me, they always sorta stay near each other.

This arrived in the post today. It’s a ‘fing’ of sugilite, stars, pink and love. It’s a love stone. For me. From my sistah. And I love it! Oh, and yes, it is as heavy and gorgeous as it looks. Very nice purple. My kinda purple. And hers. *squeals with joy*

And science brain is being very quiet (although neuropathic fingers are kinda screaming) cos the truth is, science wouldn’t be of much help if I were alone in this. If I didn’t have a tribe watching my back, keeping me company, keeping me sane, holding my hand, making sure that I am moving forward.

Science ain’t much help if you’re in this fight alone, cos it’s a hard and rocky road and there are precipices all along the really narrow path and it would be so much easier to just give up and give in and admit defeat.

So science brain is being as quiet as a mouse, thinking that I am so grateful to all the people (and cats) out there who keep me on that path and keep me as well and happy as can be, and who make my life worth getting up for even on the days when I would have much rather stayed beneath the covers.

I even have an English rabbit (proper one, not a Derbyshire Rarebit-rabbit) boiling on the stove right now. How’s that for coincidence?
