Final 2

Well my dear friends, seems that by the time you read this we're down to a 2 day countdown until Wednesday is here and my results are read.  It's a big day, almost like I'm getting proposed to or something, ah but no proposal...still single but hopefully ready to mingle!

So far my 5 day countdown has been pretty special in small ways and big ways.  Small things like me catching up on some sleep and big things like visits from all sorts of cousins.  I say all sorts because I have blood cousins and then I have the Boxing Day cousins.  Either way they're all my cousins since we've all been together since birth.

Didn't think I could top off yesterday's big day of golf and a fun family dinner but today was another great day.  It started off harsh physically as my body and I were fighting, just not feeling 100%. To take my mind off that, I completed my scrapbook and re-read all the cards sent to me these last 9 months.  It was so touching to hear all your voices in each and every card.  I've saved them all wrapped in a purple ribbon.  I love cards be it on the receiving end or sending and think it's a lost art.  I do what I can to keep it alive !

I still wasn't feeling so great so had a nap or as I call it "close my eyes and make it all better" then up & showered for a visit & tea with my cousin Claire. 

Both our initials are CA so that alone makes us cool, but just sitting and talking together 1 on 1 was a night I won't soon forget. Of course the cancer part was discussed, but I loved reminiscing about silly stories we knew or didn't know.  About us as kids and now as adults, which is crazy cause I can remember when she was born. It doesn't really feel like we're 13 years apart, or is that me just wanting to be younger ha ha ha But our ages are compatible and we plan to have some fun and soon. 

We had an amazing and inspirational Grandma, and tonight Claire got one of the most beautiful coats Grandma used to wear. It even has Grandmas initials sewn inside (MA). It looked gorgeous on Claire and I'm so happy she has a piece of grandma not only in her heart, but on her back too!  Mom kept it her closet ready to pass it along as it's always been meant for Claire and now they're together. It's a family treasure so maybe one day she'll pass it down to her future daughter.

Hyperbaric Tuesday with a volunteer driver.  Maybe he'll want to take a selfie with me to celebrate the 2 day countdown. I just realized day 1 is Wednesday or should I call that day zero, oh whatever, you know what I mean!

XOXO
