Think good thoughts

I found two more lesions starting. I head back to the doctor's office tomorrow morning before work to have them biopsied.

I can hear Steve Busemi's voice in my head saying "Define irony".
When you go to see your doctor and hope the results are just your same cancer again...

Not even remotely interested in blogging

Kind of ironic a name for a blog post, eh? Just thought I'd pass along that little FYI so you didn't think I up and died on you or anything. Things have just changed for me and I don't seem to have a need for this blog at the present time. The Thing and I have found out that we are quite grateful, in love, content and whatever the opposite of bitter is...

Sounds weird, doesn't it? Some people hearing the 'c' word and become bitter & angry. However, I was really lucky. Really really lucky, and I know it. It wasn't the worst so we're flying high on gratitude, but bad enough to scare the crap out of us and have us make some changes. I haven't smoked since, became vegetarian, and have exercised every day. It has made me call off work, play more with my kids and makes Thing buy me lots of presents. He has already planned an 8 day vacation; starting at a resort in Palm Desert and continuing on a drive up the coast back to San Francisco.
I don't even pretend like I care if I keep my job any more. I roll my eyes at people and their blathering a lot, stare out my window more and last night I spent $41 on an orange bra at Victoria's Secret. It's probably the least practical item of clothing that was ever made, but it's pretty and it's mine.
Sure, I still get annoyed and/or frustrated at some stupid day-to-day stuff, but I'm human. But that angry, miserable, fork-in-the-head woman?
I don't know what happened to her. I was too busy buying the matching panties...

Today's post is brought to you by the letter L

for Loser mostly...and Lame too. I'm feeling totally unmotivated to post (ie. rant & rave).
I'm mostly better, just a slight lingering cough and I do tire more easily but I'm fine otherwise. Thank you for your well wishes.

But we do have a corny L for Love as well, since Valentine's Day was yesterday. Which normally would have sucked since 1)my love lives in another state and 2)he is a professor of valentine's day renouncing. Yeah, go figure. As big of a cornball as The Thing is, he'll rant on and on about how horrible yesterday's "Hallmark Holiday" is...
Of course, now he has me, and I'm awesome so he totally sold out.
I arrived home from work at 7pm yesterday only to discover The Thing had taken the afternoon off and drove the 3 hours up to meet me and give me kisses and presents. He had to work today, so he left my house at 6am this morning to drive another 3 hours home...6 hours of driving to spend 11 hours with me. How cool is that?

Stick a fork in me

I'm done.

On top of trying to meet a deadline at work, I've had a bad case of bronchitis with, according to the chest xrays, the beginnings of pneumonia. With not being able to take off work, I think the pneumonia started to take over a little more and I got worse as time went on...
Boohoo for me, I know.
Anyway, my job FINALLY went out yesterday, my voice is completely gone, and I've pulled every muscle in my body from coughing. Seriously, even my eye sockets hurt. I've actually taken the day off work and, once I get The Girl off to school, I'm staying in bed all day.

So I'll be back when I'm all better. Behave yourselves while I'm gone. Or email me about it if you don't. I could always use new blog fodder.
