Spring has at last sprung here in northern Illinois so writing has crept back into my life. This week I am on spring break from college. I am at last back at work from a three month absence mostly due to paper work and medications. I have a research paper to write (or finnish, more accurately, as I am on the last page already) two articles to finnish for the college newspaper, german homework to complete, and scholarships to fill out. Not much of a "break" now that I think about it.
But, life must go on here and it is so much easier to do when I don't have to run from the house to the car to keep from freezing! I have work tonight, Thursday, and Saturday. Friday my lovely Grandmother will be taking me out for our traditional birthday lunch (my 21st is next week!).
I can not drink yet though because of the chemotherapy but it doesn't bother me much cause I never was into the bar scene. I will be getting some chemotherapy the day after my birthday. It will be like "Happy Birthday! Here's some poison!" lol. I am not super bummed about it though cause this time there is no spinal tap, just some chemo.
The writer in me begs to write an elaborate story of the girl who got cancer but I am not sure I am far enough away from the pain to relive it all again. Maybe someday such a story will come all out. But not yet. It still hurts too much.
Enough about that, the days are much to pretty now to complain about that. I have a whole life ahead to live and write about. So much yet to learn and read. It makes my heart flutter sometimes when I realize this beautiful second chance is mine. I shall not wast a moment of it.
