climbed a mountain and i turned around.

10/02/2018

Well, I might as well join in the facebook-inspired revitalization of bloop.
Since I last wrote, my kid turned one, then 2. She's such a big girl now, and no longer a baby (despite always being my baby, of course). She loves to help me in the kitchen, eat sushi, splash in puddles, do puzzles, and be all around adorable. She has these beautiful curls that are a mystery to me, but are so flippin' cute and I hope they never go away. She loves daycare and dogs. Ugh, she's just the light of my life.
I had breast cancer. Had? Have? I guess technically it's past tense, since I went through 5 months of chemo and had a complete pathological response. Then I had a mastectomy. On Thursday I start radiation. So I guess technically there's no cancer in there anymore, but I'm still in treatment. I'll have 30 sessions of radiation, staying in another city through the week while I'm having treatment there. It's going to be hard to be away from Piper, but I'm keeping my eyes on the prize, and once radiation is done I'll be back home with her, knowing that I've been as aggressive as possible with my treatment, and have done everything I can to achieve the lowest possible chance of reccurence.
Otherwise, same husband, same dog, same job (when I can go back to work), same house.
I've never stopped reading entries here, and I've been a total hypocrite because I'd get annoyed that so few people were posting. I've kept up with a bunch of bloopers through social media, but that only tells part of the story. I really hope that things get/stay a little more active here now.
