Merry Christmas !!!!!

FRIDAY DECEMBER 19TH 2014 @ 9:15am: dropped munchie off at daycare and I'm relaxing on the couch with a Starbucks and watching a Christmas Movie

HOW I FEEL: wishing this cold would go away, it's been almost 2 weeks and I think it's overstayed it's welcome lol ACTUALLY it never was welcomed haha

I just realized I haven't updated my blog since Alyssa's birthday; that's over a month ago.  I'm horrible at keeping it up to date, I always say I promise I will get better at this but it hasn't happened yet.  Maybe in the New Year ????

I can't believe Christmas is NEXT WEEK .... it doesn't feel like Christmas at all; maybe that's because our weather has been so bizarre the last few weeks and we don't have any snow.  

I've been doing a lot of thinking the last few days about where I was last year and how far I have come.  This is a special Christmas for me because I get to be home with my family and Christmas morning I can wake up with my munchie.  I am very thankful for having this 2nd chance at life and being able to be home for Christmas because let me tell you --- Christmas in the hospital is VERY depressing and lonely.  My family was great last year at having Christmas up at the hospital but it just wasn't the same.  Everyone thought I was crazy because the Christmas decorations came out first week of November and the tree was up and presents bought and wrapped and under the tree.  I am totally on the ball with everything Christmas related this year and it feels GOOD!!!  Everyone who knows me knows that I'm pretty particular about my tree and the placement of the decorations LOL .... the kids have there tree and I have mine that NOONE touches lol.  This year my mom helped me decorate and put it up or else it would've been a difficult task without her help.  



Soooo it's official I will be returning to work January 7th :):)  I met with my work last week to discuss arrangements and I left that meeting feeling very excited.  It's crazy to think I've been off work for 2 years, hard to believe sometimes.  I go back looking forward to it but also feel alittle nervous and anxious.  All good feelings of course but it's been 2 years and A LOT has changed at my work.  I should clarify --- things have changed in a good way but I am sure there will be things I need to be retrained on but then part of me feels like after a week or two I will get right back into the swing of things.  I will be returning 3 days a week and 2 hours a day to start.  Doesn't seem like a lot but I'm sure in a month or so I will be increasing those hours.  I will be continuing to do my physio 3 times a week for the month of January.  I like to think I'm a good planner and organizer so I will be able to juggle returning to work, physio, doctors appointments, household chores and being the best mommy I can for my munchie. 




I hope everyone has a Safe and Fabulous Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!  :)

Missing having some 'NORMALCY' in my life ....

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 12TH 2014 @ 12:56PM: just got home from Physio, going to blog before I begin cleaning the bathroom lol HOW I FEEL:  Pretty good; I rocked Physio today.  Last night I met the HR ladies from work for dinner at Boston Pizza.  It had been quite some time since we all got together, so it was nice to be able to reconnect with everyone and meet some of the new HR members of the team.  I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since I've been gone from work .... YES YOU HEARD RIGHT 2 YEARS!!!!!    I was expecting to return to work in October/November; however that idea has been kibosh-ed since I have this minor setback with my wound.  I likely won't be going back until the New Year now :(   I was really looking forward to getting some 'normalcy' back into my life.  Especially after meeting with everyone last night, I realized how much I miss work; I never thought I would say I miss it, but I do.  It would be different...

Why Me?

Why Me?  This is still a question I ask myself quite often, almost too often.  I've asked my oncologist from day one why me? Her response to me, there is no reason Laura why you got cancer, you didn't eat anything, you didn't do anything to get it.  This is the mystery of cancer, no one knows why people get it.  It's a horrible disease and I think I'm just starting to see how horrible it really is.  I have friends and family who are cancer survivors, I've spent a lot of time confiding in them and talking about my struggles.  My 2 friends who both are cancer survivors are the most positive people I know and a huge inspiration to me and when I'm having a rough time with things I turn to them.  One of them is my best friend who is a cancer survivor going on 9 years and another is a former coworker who also survived cancer and has been cancer free for 3 years.  It's not that I can't talk to other friends  or family about my struggles but sometime...
