Summer Mornings And Good Music

Health Update of the Day: I have found some days that the tug of war between positive thinking and fear is very tricky and really appreciated the universe sending me this message last weekend while waiting for my bone marrow biopsy results. Thankfully, the doctor called yesterday with the good news that so far the test results show no sign of lymphoma. They are waiting for two more test results and I need a few more tests done, but so far great news. While it’s too early for that Margarita celebration, I will be celebrating with my new favorite coffee all weekend. I still have many fears because some of my blood counts remain very low and it’s scary to hear they can’t recommend some of the chemo options because of my reactions, but I’m still staying strong on my one day at a time mantra and my inner voice continues to tell my inner fears to shut up and dance (Everybody Loves Raymond).

Song of the Day: Shut Up and Dance – Walk The Moon

Coffee of the Day: Shaded Bloom Coffee Roasters Raspberry Maple Latte

  1. Good news indeed, but I understand your bated breath waiting for the rest of the results. The waiting game is no fun, so going about your day, doing what pleases you is the best thing, I’d say. Carpe diem! πŸ‘πŸΌ

    1. Loved the good news and hopefully I’ll have results from some of the others by the end of next week. It’s definitely helped to have my favorites – coffee, books, tv, walking, music, Harper and photography – to keep me busy.πŸ™‚

  2. I know from personal experience that nothing can bring fear like cancer. But so far the news looks good. Enjoy that coffee, and start making plans for that margarita.

    1. Thank you and I enjoyed another raspberry maple latte today!! I’m usually happy to cheer on Edmonton, but I was really hoping for the Maple Leafs this year and now I have an attitude against both teams in the finals! Enjoy the weekend!πŸ™‚

  11. Like I may I posted here before, we survived a cancer scare by just taking life the same way as before…except now it had chemo and nausea and hair loss in it. And all-day naps. Especially all-day naps.

    1. It’s horrible how quickly it changes your life and even when things begin to return to normal, nothing is quite the same.

      1. No, it’s not. There’s a indefinable change analogous to learning your parents are fallible. The safety net is removed.
