"Oh this life..."

My best friend has been trying her best to make that a popular statement in today's society. I can't speak for the rest of the world, but it's sure become my anthem.

A wise man (my most favoritest football player to ever put on football pants) that there are always going to be obstacles, but that you must enjoy the ride. Well TT, that's what I'm doing. You & your wisdom are always welcome in my world.

Anyways. Today is March 1. This date carries several connotations.
1. It is the last of the 3 months that I hate (Jan., Feb., Mar.) Once I move to FL, hopefully my feelings will change. Until then, it's Indiana at its worst.
2. Today is the beginning of a long journey with Shorty. He will have both chemo & radiation every day for the next 5 weeks. So thankful I got to see him yesterday, and I know Jesus is in control... I just hope he fights.
3. Tomorrow is Gramma Ruthie's hip replacement. We can only pray that her thin body can handle the anesthetic. Once she gets into rehab post-surgery, she will then start fighting this mass this is sitting where her thyroid used to be.
4. March 10 is my d-day. And by d-day I mean D-DAY. EEK.
5. That blasted boy that has spent the last 5 days here leaves. Well good. I had to run into everyone under the sun that I didn't care about except for him. Not even a glimpse of his entourage. LAME.
6. Starting today, due to my circumstances (that's what we'll call them...) I am no longer allowed to have chocolate or soda. Though we all know I could only drink diet before, now I'm done for good. Oh gracious. I went out and bought caffeine pills last night, because I'm not going to give myself migraines on top of it all.

ALL of that being said, I look at it this way. Not very often does the 1st of the month fall on a Monday. So today is not only a new day and week, it's a new month. Spring comes in 20 days, and I pray it will start going up from here.
