Spring is just around the corner and I am so ready for warm weather, the pool, the beach.... I have had a cold for almost three weeks now (I think I brought it back from NY) and it is starting to feel like it won't go away until the weather warms up. It hasn't been too bad, certainly not as severe as some of the flu cases and respiratory infections that have been going around.
So like my title says, I am doing a little work these days (besides laundry that is...). A friend of mine in the consulting world is out on maternity leave so I am working part time helping out at their office and covering some of her projects. It is fun to be doing a little engineering again, stretching out that part of the ol' brain so it doesn't shrivel up and die...ha ha! But I miss my time during the day to keep up with things around the house and do a few things for myself like go to the gym, read, etc.... I got spoiled quickly!!!
I had a birthday last week. I turned 39 for real this year (future years it will just be a lie). Brant and the kids got me my own bike so we can take family rides together (I usually just borrowed Brant's bike). Getting old doesn't seem so bad these days and birthdays feel like a privilege rather than a dreaded event. Sure, I am not excited about the aging process, and especially how chemo has accelerated it for me in many ways, but it sure is great to be here!
And what a difference a year makes. This time last year I was recovering from my first round of ICE chemo and was packing up to leave for New York. This year I am looking forward to feeling healthy on Easter, going to opening day of little league, and being here for Brant and the kids. We feel so very blessed!!!
