Consider the words:

Confrontation
Confrontational

These words are more likely to imply argument or hostility, I would say. More than simply asserting oneself, no?

Gotta love our English language
 
We also might say we are confronted by something if it is unpleasant and/ or unexpected, no?

Maybe we were confronted by heavy traffic on the highway?
 
I don't see automatic argument or hostility in "confront". Perhaps we're afraid to confront, or be assertive, because we're afraid of conflict. If we practiced confronting respectfully maybe things would be better. We'd be more genuine and people would know where we stand and we'd know where they stand. It has to be respectful.
 
Back to those people at the door that can be up to no good.

We were told at the home care agency that mornings are statistically the safest time of day.
 
I’m not 100 percent sure my husband gave our address or he just saw him at our place and figured it out. He’s a 50 plus year old man who lives with his par3nts up the street from us. I too befriended an interesting character several years back who I’ve grown to quite like. But he never comes to our door. We just have great sidewalk visits.
 
Interesting characters can be fun or frightening, just depends what about them is interesting, eh.

Hello from somewhere off Grand Cayman. Spent most of today touring the island, now heading even further South. Keep well and warm all.

There's some weird art on this ship including a huge bronze of a gorilla carrying a very large fish (as in, almost as big as the ape). Will post a photo at some point. Might even make it a backup avatar.

Ah. That sounds a little less dangerous at least, if you know that. Pretty strange. Just tell him, “That’s very kind but next time please bring baked goods. Not goods to get baked with.” (Kidding)

Good morning! Hope everyone had a good weekend, even with all the weather events going on. Being in hospital far from home, apartment security measures, friends who turn up unannounced, and all kinds of other topics come up today. The Coffee Cart is up and running, come in for a few minutes, relax and chat. Coffee is brewed, tea water ready, cushions are fluffed, and seats are comfy. All are welcome.

We're heading to the bigger city this morning to see my doctor. I'll learn what she has in store for me. When I was diagnosed, I made a decision to use my creativity for something other than making myself crazy. I'm happy to report I've done well over the weekend.

We had a lovely visit with friends from up north yesterday. We enjoyed a roast beef dinner at a local pub. Yum. We were all happy to not be in that AB city, where current temps are so brutal.
 
A good attitude Northwind.

I've knocked off a few of my anxiety-making items. Have a couple of biggies still to go. The hard part is getting started again. I hate projects that have been set down two or more times. My memory says "you've done that already", but I may only have partially done it. Checklists help, so gathering all them together.

ugh.

Good thing to do on a cold, cold day
 
I'm very comfortable with the news. I'm not sure about travel. They have a blood test to see if I have the enzymes to process the drug. Up until a year or two it was hit or miss whether the drug was suitable. I knew I'd be getting a new treatment plan. Infusion chemo was on the table. The doctor chose this drug because it is less intrusive. I suppose travel depends on how I adjust to the drug. We'll plan to stay here for the summer and hopefully drive or fly to Ontario without the trailer. I'm quite relieved and hopeful. This will be my life. I will stay on a drug as long as it works then hopefully there's another treatment. Fortunately there seems to be quite a few treatments. I have metastatic breast cancer. I won't be cured. I can hope for no evidence of active disease like a friend who is on this drug. Breast cancer is not pink and fluffy.
