100 days of chemo today…

Last week was very rough. Getting a cold is no simple matter for me anymore…

But this week is new. One day at a time, one breath at a time. I still feel weak, even though I look relatively good, my skin looks healthy and I’m (semi) functional. I can read my book and not get dizzy. I write and post here (which is to keep my sanity and I’m thrilled if I entertain at least one of you😄) I even still have my eyebrows! (Fingers crossed those keep, because I have no clue how to draw eyebrows and the best tutorial I found online was someone putting a soup spoon over their eyelid and tracing the outline 👁🥄)

But last week was the worst round so far and that tops the week I was competing with Deadpool to make a cameo in film no.3 (Yes, it’s happening!!!)🤗

But, like I said in the beginning of this poopie show that’s well on the road now: on the bad turns I will cash in my happy box and pull out some love and support and let those wishes, thoughts, prayers and positive vibes take over while I sit back and recharge.

And that is what I did.

Never underestimate the power of getting in touch with me, whether it’s a card, a call, a message, a voice note, a plain emoji, comments or even just a like. It means you thought of me. I crossed your mind. And in that second a got a positive point. And I’m hoarding them points greedily.

Last week I had to use a lot of points. I cracked a smile between tears. Smiles have power. They are the beginning of a laugh. And laughing leads to wrinkles. Around the mouth and the eyes. And I plan to accumulated as many wrinkles as possible and show them off proudly. Because I plan to live. To live long and strong and gather wrinkles of happiness 🥰

Pic of my happy box, that was originally a care package that came in the post (from friends who are always in my heart even though my eyes and hugs have missed them terribly) that their awesome children fantastically decorated. And it’s full of every single thing everyone sent me from day one. And every time I feel its weight I giggle like a giddy toothless pirate, because that’s how lucky I feel with this treasure chest of riches!❣️
