Default everyday \"i am hot shiznit\" activities

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!
