it's all catching up to me - all the doctor appointments - seeing the plastic surgeon and what i would look like (wish i NEVER saw those pictures - i cry every time i think of them) - the endless reminders that i'm BRCA positive - seeing my Mom not able to walk possibly for the rest of her life (hopfully she'll see improvement in 2 years) - wiping tears away from others eyes b/c of their pain - taking care of 3 houses and the pets - the constant reminders of "cancer" are all around me and i can't get away - yup Miss Always Happy Upbeat Carefree Free Spirit Erika is bummed right now - but i think a WELL deserved bum mood!
hopefully this weekend i'll lay out on the beach with a book - visit a few tiki places - eat some really great sushi - head over to Brooklyn - and in between turn my A/C to freezing and cuddled up in a ball on my couch watching movies!
hey UNIVERSE, you listening to me?! - lighten up the load dude, come on already!
Prayers to you for a nice, relaxing weekend!
ReplyDeleteI hope the universe listens. I hope all your plans for the weekend put a smile on your face, if only for the weekend!
ReplyDeleteThoughts and prayers for you. I wish you weren't having to go through all that!
ReplyDeleteYes, you need some TLC for certain. You can only run like this for so long, feed your sould a little bit. That poster about the wise man and joke is well said indeed.
ReplyDeleteRest.

ReplyDeletehugs to you and your sweet mom.
I'm sorry for your trying time. I hope things start looking up for you and your loved ones quickly.
ReplyDelete*hugs* to you, dear. You are certainly allowed a pity party or five! I think it's theraputic. so let it all out and don't feel bad about it.
