I'm tired. But unlike the tired I've experienced for much of the past year, today I'm really happy to be tired. Today I'm tired because I did more laundry and carting things up and down my stairs than I've done in months. Today I'm tired because I was out running errands with my family. Mundane things like buying onesies and sleep sacks. Today, for the first time in a long time, I'm tired not because I have cancer, but because I have a three year old and a three month old. In short, I feel good and I'm getting my life back. And when you've had to rely on others to fold your laundry, change your baby's diapers and prepare your meals for over three months, mundane family life feels pretty awesome.
In other news, I had my first McDonalds Mocha Frappe yesterday. How have I made it this long without trying one of these?! Delicious. So much better than a Starbucks Frappacino (?), much cheaper, AND always available via drive thru. Thank goodness I can only tolerate cold beverages about 10 days a month (due to my chemo) or I would definitely be 400 pounds by Christmas.
Of course, this is a chemo week, so "feeling crappy tired" is just around the corner, but I'll deal with that on Wednesday.
