Follow the peace

There's lots of pain and drama I write about. I don't focus enough on the good things (I seriously could be my own therapist).

I spontaneous went to the city by myself and bought a new record and then I decided to take my hair to the hair dresser. Yes for real. The weather has been so hot, way too hot to wear hats and I decided to dye it chestnut light brown. I already feel so much better when I look in the mirror. I'm starting to look more and more like a real person. And less like a patient. Of course I still want it to grow grow grow into a beautiful curly pixie cut. But at least this is a first step. So good stuff.

I mean after all you gotta give them something walking into a hair salon with that little hair. So I told part of my story but never crossed any borders I didn't want to. Again good stuff. Progress is progress no matter how small. 

Yesterday I went to this colleague with a big garden and she held an 'open garden'. She was so surprised to see me. Even though it was a short visit it was pretty good. These visits are hard for me and I should pat myself on the back because I did it.

I have Herceptin 9/17 coming up and well it's hard. I'm nervous. I hate it. But since this was suppose to be a positive post... I'm going to tell myself to be brave. Be brave. Be brave.

There are a billion things I'm worrying about... but right now there's not much I can do about it. So gotta let it go... Let it be. (Have you tried it? It really is a pain in the ass and oh so effing hard!)

    Nice to read a positive post of yours. As you know I'm a worry-ward, so, letting it "be" is soooo hard for me. I hope your Herceptin will be ok. You'll be more than half done after the next one!

    I saw the garden photo - wow! I can't wait to get my own garden, I LOVE my balcony and "balconying" on it (if I can't garden ;) ) and I love the flowers and everything about it. So relaxing and pretty. And the photo of the garden was great - great garden!

    And you know how I feel about your hair but I still can imagine you can't wait for it to grow grow grow.

    It's quite hot down here too, 30+ degrees. Very nice.
