Yes, the title of this post really best describes what I thought at the end of yesterday! Because of how exhausted I was Monday night I ended up sleeping on the couch at my friend's house. I love these friends! They weren't even home and yet their other roommates were so kind as to say it was no problem for me to crash! But I digress.
I had to be at work in Richmond (about a 2 hour drive away) by 8 am and I also had to stop by my house and change before hand. I set my alarm for 4:30 am and eventually fell asleep. I have to say, 4:30 came before I was prepared! But after hitting snooze once I was up and even managed to be pulling away from the house a couple minutes before 5. I learned if you are ever looking for a light traffic time to drive to Richmond, that would be at 5 am on a Tuesday morning! I made it in less than two hours! Which meant I had a half an hour before I technically had to be up! 30 minutes of ridiculously fast sleep was wonderful!
My day was anything but short! With coffee in my mug, I started my 12 hour day! And the thing was...I was ready for it! I was looking forward to everything I had to do! Teaching my clients, telling my co-workers about the interview (I never had such a supportive group of people to work with!!) and writing up my summaries and lesson plans. At the end of the day, I remembered that not only was my car's gas tank almost empty, my fridge was nearly bare! And yes, that meant I went to the grocery store before going home I think I ate dinner about 8:30-9pm! I remember also doing something on the computer but honestly...I couldn't tell you what! Possibly responding to emails...and lord knows what I said!
And as I lay down to go to sleep, all I could think was, "I can't believe I did that!" According to TimeHop, 3 years ago today I was rejoicing over being able to walk to the garden, sit a while and then walk back inside! Lol! I can only laugh at where I am now in comparison! Once again, I find myself being so very, very grateful!
After 15 years of trying to finish my undergrad, I spent the week before finals in and out of the ER. During finals I was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer. I graduated Magna Cum Laude the next weekend from Western Michigan University. I am now blogging about my experiences of fighting cancer & living life after in hopes of being able to help others.
