Mondays suck. But this particular Monday, I must admit that the good outweighed the bad significantly. The majority of the bad happened this morning, mostly by being at my doctor's for 3 hours and finding out that something we thought was a yucky (could say shitty tee hee) side effect of a medication I was on and had a reaction to 3 months ago, wasn't getting any better so now I have to see a specialist to find out what's going on. I get so frustrated some days but its best to find out what's going on and deal with it. I have to take a sample of bodily fluids to the lab tomorrow. Hi-ho-hi-ho to the lab I go carrying my little brown bag. But the GOOD! 1. Sara nominated my blog the "Blog of the Week". Wow, I'm so honored and feel really special!!!! *tears in eyes* 2. Colin sent me a virtual boquet of flowers with a funny card - with Santa on it wondering if I'd been naughty or nice... *snicker* Yes, we do know the answer to that question. *tears of laughter in eyes and heart touched at the thought* 3. Soul Wrote a beautiful poem for all her online friends (me included) for Christmas. Incredible poem!! *more tears in eyes* I would like to post it here if she will let me. I've also received some other cards from others - which are just as special to me. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. The holidays are so hard for me to get through, not having that someone special in my life, but every single one of you who leave comments and thoughts is making it all easier. *tears spilling over* I just hope that I can spread half of the joy you all have given me! I also wanted to add that I am grateful for my family and know how lucky I am that they are so close to me. I know that there are a lot of people who don't have the luxury of having family close - or none at all, or can't count on them.
