Thought it'd be cheery to post a picture of Claire and little cousin Elsie. Aren't they just the cutest?

The last two weeks have been particularly crappy - mainly work related things getting me down. My attitude has turned around though, thankfuly. Probably due in part to last night's book club gathering. It was refreshing to drink wine and talk (and talk, and talk) with a group of such wonderful, intelligent women.

So, today I woke up with fresh, new resolve to make it all work and so far I've been victorious over several of life's little battles:

Firstly, I did not suffer an emotional setback when I broke two nails while putting on my prosthetic leg.*

Secondly, I bravely soldiered on with my treadmill time despite the fact that my ipod didn't have enough battery life to play even one song.

And, thirdly, I refused to buckle under even when I was unceremoniously sprayed with tuna juice while preparing my lunch: streams of juice and bits of tuna squirted out of the pouch, hitting me directly in the chest and proceeded to drip downward...requiring a complete change of clothing and a rather extensive bathe.

Mondays are the best, aren't they? I think I still stink like tuna.




*by the way, I don't actually have a prosthetic leg (but it looks like I do). It's a game I play to remind myself that there are worse things than lymphedema.
