Round 2 of antibiotics for Master. i am just finished with round 1 and i think i'm going to be ok (*knocks on her head for luck*) Very busy weekend.
Friday was catching up on all the domestic things that fell apart while we were both ill. While we were at Wegman's , i jokingly started doing our 10 minute presentation... before we knew it, we had done the whole presentation for our cashier. LOL, she was a good sport about it and wished us luck in Dallas. (one should never miss an opportunity to educate someone about healthy relationships!) *grin* We then each did our 2 minute's on the way to the car. By the time we were done, we were breathless with laughter (and perhaps lingering bronchitis!) but it was good fun and nice to prove to ourselves that we really know our presentations! Perhaps we should try doing them standing on our heads? :-)
It's been a 2 year journey for me since Master decided we were going to run and then He gave me the time to enjoy a year of remission before we plunged in to the contest process. (YAY me!) It was really important for me to be able to enjoy my health, enjoy and test the strength that i learned i had while i was sick, as well as mourn/heal from the surgery.
i debated writing about "laughing while rehearsing" or "rehearsing in the grocery store". i mean, that's not very serious is it? i take this contest VERY seriously. But if i can't laugh or enjoy the whole process, what's the point? There's enough grim crap in life without being miserable about Leather! Right? Right!
The rest of the weekend was spent taping up some loose ends, a bit more sewing and cooking some delicious dinners. Lots of good quality time with Master and the puppies.... BLISS!
LiLu is limping AGAIN! i'm getting her another 'scrip for anti-inflammatories, but i have a feeling that after SPLF she's going to have to go back in for a touch-up surgery on her knee. *grrrrr* (i can't believe we've had her for a year! i got word that her adoption went thru while we were at SPLF last year, that's why her name is LiLu Dallas!)
Off to go buy bread milk and eggs so we can survive the impending blizzard they're threatening us with!

You mentioned mourning the surgery. What did the mourning stem from?
In regards to laughing, what good is life without finding joy? It isn't that you guys aren't taking it seriously, but that you are also finding joy in the process. How great is that?!?

Ahhh, mourning the loss of my spleen, the physical changes to my body. Although i LOVE my scars, i will now never have a six pack stomach. Mourning the other changes: that i now have to worry about infection much more than a "normal person", i have to stay on top of my vaccinations for the rest of my life...
And the weirdest part of the mourning: having the surgery be successful, i lost the disease that gave me so much. If i hadn't gotten sick, i might not have taken the life path that i did. i really made friends with my illness.
Kooky me! :-)
