- I am grateful that my reconstructed breasts are as deceptively real-looking as they are. Sure, those of you that have experienced them first-hand can attest that they're a bit on the firm side, and of course they're still nippleless for the time being, but they look really freakin' real in a bra and no one who sees me in a low-cut shirt would ever guess they're fake. I was very worried that they wouldn't turn out well but I really am quite pleased with the result. Thank the gods (and my crazy, Turkish perfectionist of a plastic surgeon) for fabulously reconstructed boobies!
- I am grateful for Teresa and Jackie for organizing a fundraiser in my honor, to help me cover some medical bills. All I did was post a picture of the 4 bills I got in the mail one day and two days later, I'd received an invitation to my own benefit party. I know the two of you do a LOT to help out the Colorado Pagan community and I am just so, SO grateful to be one of the recipients of your time, effort, love, and help. Seriously. I don't have the words to express how much I appreciate what you're doing for me.
- I am grateful to be back in therapy! I haven't seen my therapist since before I moved to Tucson and a helluva lot has happened in that time span. Hooray for mental health insurance and sliding scales.
- I am grateful that my 7-month pregnant little sister is still clean and sober. HUZZAH for that, motherfuckers! I'm greatly looking forward to meeting my first nephew, Aiden, and I'm stoked that he won't be a meth baby. Also, I'm grateful to Aiden for saving Emily's life and getting her clean. *fingers crossed* that she doesn't go back to the old habits.
- I am grateful that the Avs are in the playoffs and playing pretty good hockey. I'm particularly grateful that we totally stole Game 3. Here's hoping for a win tonight in Game 5.
- I am grateful that my tattoo artist touched-up my lotus tat for free. Also, pretty grateful for how fucking deliciously hot he is. Makes the tattoo hurt less...
- I am grateful to have a really wicked awesome new T.A. on my team at work. If all y'all haven't met Tony yet, you should come on down on a Sunday and say hello. He's a fuckin' great addition to my team. Love you, Mista Powell!
- I am grateful to Jimmy and Heather and all the work they do for breast cancer research. They've been fundraising all year for their Avon Walk and they are total BC rock stars. Love you guys. So much.
- I am grateful to have spent yesterday afternoon with my cousin Melitta. The lung transplant she had 3 years ago is in chronic rejection and she's awaiting ANOTHER transplant, but she is still one of the most positive and funny people ever, even when everything in life seems sad and negative. This is one powerful 90-pound woman on oxygen. She is my personal inspiration for having gotten through cancer the way I did, and every minute spent with her is a gift from the gods.
- I am grateful, as always, for every one of my friends and especially my besties. Colt, Ash, Tre, Jimmy, Ty, Tyler, Weeks, mom, Katydid, and everyone else. I love you. So much. Can't find the words, really.
- I am grateful for Jose O'Shea's blue corn taquitos. And their guacamole. Chomp. Also, I'm grateful for Qdoba's new Craft 2 menu items, because a mini nachos and 2 soft tacos is the perfect Qdoba meal. Double chomp.
- I am grateful for OkCupid.com even though it's made my life kind of complicated over the last 6 months. It's still a really great place to meet people, even if the ones I've met have either turned douche or flaked-out on me so far. And I've met some good friends thru there (lookin' at you, Kate and SB!) so it's still a great site.
- I am grateful to the Universe, which is going to somehow scrounge up 4 massage clients per month for me to cover my HOA bill starting next month. Go on, Universe. Get on that.
- I am grateful that my hair is growing back as well as it is, and that I've reached the point where I don't feel like I HAVE to wear a wig to work anymore. This spring weather has made it too hot to wear the wig so I'm just rocking my GI Jane/tiny faux hawk. I feel naked and exposed but everyone seems to like it so I'm gonna keep rockin' it.
Okie dokey, artichokey. That's where I'm at. I'm grateful to you for reading this! Huggles!
