I made it
- another year down. Woo! I made it to another birthday. Most women my age
wouldn't be celebrating the movement towards 40 - I relish in it.
A year ago, I was celebrating my Dad's arrival from NY - he drove. I was celebrating my birthday with friends (Kevin, Shannon and their kids) and family (Levi, kids, Levi's mom, and my parents).
I use the term celebrate VERY loosely. Celebrate at that point in time meant to talk with people and try to be social. I was two days out of the end of my first chemo treatment. I was exhausted, nauseous, and mentally drained.
This year? We slept in until 6am (which, in my world, is SLEEPING in!) The kids and I enjoyed lunch at McDonalds. We did groceries and errands and a myriad of other fairly normal things. It was wonderful.
Wonderful to be doing normal things again. It's such a nice feeling.
So, happy birthday to me. Here's to a hundred more celebrations. All of them MUCH more energetic than last years.
And, I did change the title thing-y on my blog. I am now a 33-year old cancer ass-kicker.
Bite it, cancer.
