Today was AWESOME.

I slept through the night – no getting up to pee or hot flashes (thanks, chemopause) and no dry hacking cough. I didn’t wake up till 8:30 – THANK YOU HUSBAND – and when I did, it was to two happy kids.

I took the kids to music class, had lunch with them, paid all our bills, got some phone calls made and emails answered, and took the dog for a long walk. We got a huge rebate check in the mail, which was desperately needed. I found my camera, which has been MIA since December. I started cleaning up our basement, made the kids dinner, and got them to bed with minimal screaming.

Now Julian and I are going out for a spur-of-the-moment dinner to one of our favorite restaurants, and a neighbor’s daughter is available to sit for us.

Today I felt stronger than cancer. Happy Leap Day!
