OhmygoshOhmygosh! I’m so excited to tell you about the good news…the genetics counselor called tonight and my test results are NEGATIVE!!!! I can’t tell you what a relief it is. All 20 genes are clear so my cancer is a fluke. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket. My chances for flukey cancer were 1 in 8. Yep, I should definitely go to Vegas. Tomorrow. But I’m a terrible gambler and I love my cozy bed. SQUIRREL! So back to my awesome genes, it also means the ole gal on the right gets to stay! KB (Killer Boob) will have to go but the other half stays. Can you hear my sigh of relief???

Now for my other exciting news. You’ve all seen the adventures Dancer and Prancer got to go on during the roller coaster phase. Well, they had to return to the North Pole and their replacements arrived today!! Aren’t they amazing? I can hardly stand it. Right now they are sleeping on Steve’s pillow waiting for him to come home. They need names.

So, I have to tell you about the miracle of little things and how a day like today turned out to be completely amazeballs. For real. Todays score:
Highs: 4 bizillion
Lows: 0

We hear about how little things matter yet we often just get so busy in our own life we forget that the smallest thing can turn an average day into an Amazeballs Day. Here’s a short random list of little stuff that makes my life incredible.

1. Steve makes coffee every night and sets the timer so fresh coffee is ready at 715am each morning.
2. My manager at work brought me a grocery bag of fresh caught fish from her stash to help me with my new mostly plant-based diet.

3. A 7th grader that doesn’t normally say much to me said “I like your new haircut”. 4. The Zon delivered my new flamingos.
5. Garrett cleaned up all the dog poop in the yard. (not actually a little thing)
6. My friends invited me over and fed me taco and lobster dinner.

7. Grady sent me a cute text message that made me smile.
8. I came home to an empty house after dinner, took a hot tub and came upstairs to a clean bedroom with fresh water on my nightstand, the bed turned down and the remote on my pillow. Whut?? The sweetest.
9. I joined a fitness club and worked out for an hour. No one really did anything special but just doing something for myself that made me feel strong and capable was quite lovely.
10. My Mom & Dad went back to the Arizona mall today and my sweet Dad held up about 47 more bathrobes so my Mom could photograph them and then send them to me. I don’t care much for shopping and this a true gift of love. Mom on a Mission!
