Hola Community,
It occurs to me that one thing that is really lacking in the cancer chapter is that feeling that ones Rocks (i look great today; i wrote an amazing brief; my husband digs my legs; whatev), that thing that makes us feel like studs on a daily or once in a while basis. So i thought we could reframe for the cancer chapter and list things that--by our current situation standards-- is hot shiznit. For example, i cleaned my own bathroom today! Or yesterday i took an oil painting lesson. How about you guys: everyday heroism?

I had chemo yesterday and today I am working on formating printing and putting together the programs for my sister in law's wedding (in two weeks).
Oh and I got out of bed.

Ah, the genius that is you, Lovely Rachael! Your thread is the Shiznit!
Ways in which I was "Hot Shiznit" last week (it's still early for this week): Went running on treadmill, finally. Cleaned kitty litter box, with mask and gloves, so my roomie wouldn't have to. Treated myself and got a laptop, which I've wanted for a looong time (Perhaps that can be considered mere indulgence, not being The Shiznit...)! I rip!

Lets see, ways I feel I'm the Shiznit:
1. I've got a Board meeting tomorrow night and a huge event on Friday and I get to wear my "Big Girl Suits". 2. I take a mile and a half walk everyday at lunch time. 3. I take a walk with my husband and my dog each night. 4. While I'm battling this damn disease I also managed to finish my MBA!!! Yay!
