Well I don't have cancer.  I had scar tissue from a previous wreck in 2013.  Good things going on, I'm really into Buddhist way of life now, I'm learning everything I can and hope to become a Buddha or Bodhisattva and improve the status of my next life.  I have changed my office for better chi using feng shui and have since received a check in the mail for 290 dollars that was very unexpected. My number is 9 on the feng shui map. So I think the 9 in 290 is relevant. 
The not so happy things,  our office closed at 12 noon, yet I'm staying to do a visit that is not even mandantory for me to do, but I feel it needs to be done (child protective services) because I have to keep mom on her toes if this is going to work without our agency removing the child from her. 
My daughter works on Christmas Eve until 9 pm and wants to leave to go to her father's home for Christmas on Christmas morning rather than celebrating with us, her family who cares whether she lives or dies.  Little bit about her father... He has not paid a dime of child support for her since she was 14 years old, she is now 17, and when he did pay it was sporadic and could not be depended upon and it was only 100 dollars per month.  He has not returned any of her telephone calls in over a year, and has not returned the one she is trying to make to him this year for Christmas, yet she wants to leave on Christmas morning to go see a man who does not care if she lives or dies, if she laughs or cries.  She also is working and bought gifts on her own this year, but has said she does not think she is going to wrap them.  Okay, if that be the case then I will be unwrapping all her gifts and stick them in a walmart bag or two and hand them to her like that and see how she likes it.  Now if I was a truly perfect Buddhist, these things would not matter to me because I would be able to see how empty my own feelings of rejection and anger are, and how my anger will simply cause more harm and put more distance between me and what I want.  I wish I could say these things are empty and mean nothing to me,  I wish I could meditate this anger away,  so that I don't do or say anything harmful.  This is something that is going to take ALOT of effort on my part, A lot of effort to not be angry, to see the emptiness of what it is I'm feeling, the self grasping and deciding that I deserve better when "deserve" is make believe and only Karma gets to make those decisions.
