Good Evening! It's just another manic monday. No wait...it's Tuesday I do believe! I have some exciting news! Wait for it....wait for it....I will have my very first sitter tomorrow! Yippee!!!! Well not THE very first. It's been about, let's see, umm, 35 years or so. I wonder if she will let me have ice cream and stay up late?!?! Can you tell I'm excited??? No offense Robin. I'm sure we will have a great time. It's just the frustration that I have to have a sitter. Sigh. Oh well. I will just make the best of it. I wonder if she does dishes??? I better stop in case she reads this blog!
Soooo Chrissy said I will have to wear the new shirt he made me everyday in case I slip away. That's gonna make for a lot of laundry! The good news is I have been a good girl and stayed inside lately. I will tell you what started all this fear of me wandering off. Now remember, I DO have a brain tumor. Strange things are a'happenin in my head! Last week, I don't know what night, everyone was here and in bed. It was about 1am - I was told. I got up to go potty. I could have sworn I heard a baby crying. Before you say it, no it was NOT Brayden! So being a mother I figured I better go check this out. I threw on my sweater and my shoes and proceeded to walk the streets of our subdivision looking and listening for that darn baby. The next day was garbage day so all the trash cans were at the curb. Lots of places for a crying baby to hide. I watch a lot of Nancy Grace ok?!?! Needless to say, I did not find a baby. Which I suppose is a good thing really. However, being dark outside I got all turned around and disoriented. Luckily Chris woke up and came looking for me. I was close enough to home to hear him calling from the house. So not a big deal but it could have been I suppose. Never a dull moment around here! Thus the t shirt!!!
Now look, the main reason I started this blog was for a place to vent, to share some thoughts, and to keep lots of people updated about medical stuff. I never wanted this to be a pity party. All my life, I have handled most things with humor. Laughter is the best medicine I do believe! Now I'm not saying life doesn't suck sometimes. Things sure are stressful right now and very odd in many ways. We are experiencing things we have never experienced. Makes things interesting. The good thing is, most of the time we can laugh at all the silly things I do and say. I like that we can do that! I like that we can laugh instead of just cry when I can't follow a simple stupid direction after passing out. I just hope it stays like this and we can all keep it together...just for a little while longer.
Hey, BTW, has anyone come across a cheap outlet for those rubber bracelets??? I'm still looking but there are soooo many sites!! TIA!!
I love your writings. You are in my prayers for a full recovery. Hugs, Michael
