I wrote this yesterday and then had trouble with adding a picture, so I parked it. I looked at it again today and it is not my usual happy-go-lucky posting, but it really does reflect how I am feeling. I am not looking for cheer-leaders to perk me up...I just want to be honest about how it really feels. Cancer sucks, folks. Even when it is in remission.

 


I have a busy week coming up, so I am trying to stay "quiet" and "rest" as much as I can. *sigh*

I learned a lesson (again) last week while in Ottawa. Al told me to do "nothing" on Monday so that I would rest up after our weekend and have energy for the rest of the week in Ottawa. Of course, I did not listen and paid the price. The heat and humidity just did me in on my short walk from Rideau Centre to his office. I was done for the rest of the week.

It is becoming more difficult to bounce back. I am very physically tired but have trouble sleeping. I am immensely frustrated by this and yet grateful for the ability to rest in a beautiful home with a lovely backyard and pool.

When life gives you lemons and you make lemonade, it sometimes still tastes a little bitter. :]
