Shakin But Not Stirred

It's been several weeks since my last surgery and I'm feeling much, much better. I'm thinking I've almost got my mojo back. My hair is in an actual hair style, my skin is clear, and you can almost tell I was never even sick. I've gained several pounds, well it's more than several. It's more like 20. I read these other blogs about women that stop taking the monthly five year medicine because of weight gain. I don't understand that. I would rather be fat than have cancer again. I do have this sudden urge to run though. Like run like Forrest Gump did. Put my tennis shoes on and run.

I am beginning to find my new self. A person I never was before I had cancer. I find my tolerance level for people and their bullshit to be very low, even within my family. I definitely cannot tolerate it with the public. I also find that I am more generous, I have more sympathy for people and their problems. I do however find it hard to talk to surviors that still want to talk about being sick when they have been cancer free for 12 years. I can't understand why they want to still wallow in it like a pig in shit. I guess that is something else I will never understand.

I also wear really big earrings now. Something that I would have never done before. I'm wearing sundresses and low cut shirts that were never really filled out right before. Now, I have real boobs and I LOVE them to death. I can't wait to buy a new swimsuit this year even though I'm gonna wear three sizes bigger, I just want to see how well the top will fit.

Mini-Me has been playing softball this Spring and I LOVE to watch the games. I'm sad that they will be ending soon.

I haven't been very good about keeping up with my blog, but I haven't really felt like it. So, here's a run down of recent events:

1. Got a new kitten
2. Got to turn the fountain downtown pink
3. Got to shoot the gun at the starting line for the Joy to Life Walk
4. Had a mouse problem at home (reason for getting the kitten)
5. Planted a 30 x 30 garden with 20 different veggies
6. Started back to work
7. Have fallen even more in love with P
8. Started monogramming items
9. Tried to be nice to my original father
10. Looking to buy a new house.
