Cancer doesn't feel so great the last few days. It is Saturday and I woke up excited that I didn't have to go to work and thought of all of the things I wanted to do today. Cooking, craftying, cleaning, reading, walking, yoga, writing, copy/pasting interview data into excel columns... well, that last one wasn't actually something I really wanted to do but something I need to do. I get excited about the weekend because I can cook without having to work for 9 hours and drive 2 more before getting to the stove. I wanted to pull out those veggies and create healthy goodness for our tummies and do little things around the house. Before long, I realized it was going to be one of those days, during which cancer was going to cause a little friction with my plans. I found myselft feeling sick, trying to make things happen, only to realize I needed to lay down again and rest. I had to shorten my to-do list, and remember my word. Embrace. Yes, embrace. I thought about my word for awhile, trying to find the things to embrace as I was feeling sick. This is not easy some days. I settled in for a little rest, a quick errand just to get out of the house for brief moment, made my favorite muffins (with dried cranberries and poppy seeds), and set out a little time for valentines. I do love making valentines. Then it will be couch/sleep time.
Did your plans get a little off track? I hope you embraced the new path. Like I said, not always easy to do...
