I hope you all have had a thoughtful and lovely Memorial day weekend... I have been crazy busy!!! Work and then painting the salon!!! And hiking at a lake with the dogs... then Willamette National Cemetery and back to work...
After 10 months of dealing with the very annoying process of surviving Breast Cancer (read my other blog A lump in my road) I am moving forward. This blog may or may not have conclusion. I am not a writer. This is like reading in my head. It is bumpy and scary and funny and sad and maybe a little triumphant! I have found it to be helpful. Please feel free to talk to me. Though I am not a combatant I welcome all comers. So buckle up let's see what happens. ...After the Lump!

Pretty pretty! !!
So I made this today... The purple part in the middle was my power port that I received chemotherapy through for 4 months last year and that was used for all my blood draws and surgeries... I asked to have it out because as I started exercising and doing more it would ache so I decided it was time to have it out... After he removed it I asked to see it... Image my suprise when it looked so sweet... I knew it needed to stay with me always. ..
Why yes I can walk 5 miles thank you!
I know it is a statement not a title!!! Yesterday as I was walking my dogs (2 miles or so) to the off leash park... Because my husband has the car... most of the way there I remembered that more than year back(before my cancer) I had attempted the same feet... And I was not in good enough shape and had to turn and go home... Yesterday we got there, did the quarter mile loop a couple times, they played with some dogs, we walked home and I could have done more but for that I had to get ready for work. Times have changed!!!! Never will I forget my health is to be used or lost!!!

The problem
Honestly, I forget to pick up and write unless something good or bad happens!!! The daily grind is just that. The routine is established... So this gets set aside. ... so here are pictures of moments the last week or so. ...
