I have to say that my excitement factor for this year's trip had been kind of low but yesterday it almost felt like a little seed pod of excitement opened and the little seeds of joy just sprouted. I could really "feel" ourselves there, KWIM? I can't believe we are down to 59 days!
It's just been a
B-A-D year and I just couldn't get excited.
#1 - DFIL was diagnosed with Stage 2 lung cancer in December. He & DMIL lived with us from late January to early April during his treatments. He has had 2 follow-up scans and has been declared to be in remission.
#2 - DMIL was diagnosed with breast cancer in May. The tumor was small and the cancer was not in her lymph nodes. She finished her treatments in July and is doing well.
#3 - Our cat "Stitch" had been sick since March and we finally had to put her to sleep last week.
#4 - DD started 6th Grade last week and had a hard first few days as she adjusted to the newness of things. She's doing much better this week.
Soooo ...... now that all those worrisome things are over I can REALLY get excited for our trip. I booked our last ADR today and also reserved the town car service.
OK, I gotta dance now ....
