March 18 - A Warm Welcome?!

Can you send me a link to all your blogs? I want to read them. One of my sisters, Julia, does not participate in slicing. But she does (sometimes) like to stay up to date on what my mom, Clare and I find exciting enough in our lives to slice about.

Sure, here. I text through the link.

Things are quiet in our text chain for a good ten minutes.

Wait, who are all these people commenting? Do you know them?

I can’t help but chuckle. No, that’s kinda the point, Jules. It’s a community. You comment on three, and, hopefully, you get a couple comments on your own.

Whaaattttt. That’s crazy. I’m gonna go check Clare’s.

The chat is silent yet again as she reads through Clare’s slices.

No way. She also gets such random comments. This is nuts.

Mhm.

I’d have some pretty crazy things to slice about, honestly. My patients??

I laugh at this, too. Julia would honestly have the most interesting slices of all of us. She’s currently a clinical research associate at a hospital in Boston, and, while she’d have to be careful about HIPAA, her patient stories are hilarious. You’re not wrong. I text back.

Should I… slice tomorrow?? Is that frowned upon? Do you think they’d be annoyed with me starting this far through the month?

No!!!! Is my immediate response. Get in here!

I’ve been slicing since I was 16. 11 years later, my mom and I have welcomed 1 other sister to the Slice Side. And now potentially 2?! Fingers crossed Julia gets some pen on paper … er, words on screen … today. Tomorrow’s her birthday, so I’m sure she’ll have plenty to talk … er, write … about!
