i usually have a rough time with allergies. they hit me year round, and therefore i usually sniff a lot. i try not to do it as much as possible, but sometimes it can’t be helped. today when i was anchoring the news, i had to sniff while a soundbite was playing. that’s not unusual. however, today i forgot to turn the mic *off* beforehand. i thought i had . . . and then i heard myself in my headphones.
sigh.
in other work-related news, one of the city managers i work with died today. i’m still in shock. i had heard about a week or so ago that she was in the hospital with cancer but at that point no one with the city knew where the cancer was or how much it had spread. and now she’s dead. wow. it’s really scary. she apparently said her stomach hurt while she was on a trip, and it turned out to be ovarian cancer.
i didn’t know her as well as other people, but i did know her and i liked her. i’m just so sad right now for her family and her coworkers. i just can’t imagine how upset they are right now.
That is terrible. Ovarian cancer is such a silent killer. There is no real test for it….it’s quite scary. Most women don’t even know they have it until it’s already stage 3. Lila’s pediatrician found out not long ago that she has stage 3 ovarian cancer….but she’s back at work, so we’re hoping she makes it. I think that Sara’s new husband’s wife that passed away had ovarian cancer as well. It’s just so crazy how fast something like that happens. I’ll definitely say a prayer for your acquaintance’s family.
That’s what my grandma died of… it is so terrifying.
That’s so sad about her. I only knew her a little, but she was always very nice and warm.
