​​Not So Happy List

#171 - Don't Like Shopping

7/10/2017

Wedding Dresses
​
​
I really don't like clothes shopping. Changing rooms are exhausting and price tags are scary. But this past weekend was different.  
Picture
I sat on a cozy couch, drinking champagne with 2 of my daughter's bridesmaids. Heidi did all the work. Oh, how I wish shopping could always be like this!

​ Less Than a Year Ago
​
​
I know, I said I would stop looking back all the time.  But it's hard to avoid sometimes. Especially, since I have fond memories of last fall, when Heidi and I joined my future daughter-in-law on a dress shopping adventure!  
Picture
On that wonderful day, Heidi and I watched Chali do all the glamorous work. We didn't know then, that Heidi would soon be engaged and both girls would be planning weddings! ​

I remember feeling so happily distracted that day. I still wasn't finished with chemo but I felt energized with the fun. When I look at this photo, I sigh... then laugh. "Hmm, I might need to toss that wig back on, if my hair doesn't show some improvement!"  Who knows what my hair will be doing in November or March. I might be the one who needs the veil!

The Focus
​
​
But luckily, the spotlight won't be on me.

And this past Saturday, I couldn't have been happier, having the focus on Heidi with her friends. I love my role.

What fun to listen to the girls' banter... their comments and humor. I can't stop being grateful for the timing. I'm so glad that it's July 2017... not 2016!
​
Lucky Me!
​
​
I feel healthy and energized just knowing what's ahead!

These 2 beautiful "brides" (and their handsome grooms) are making it hard for me to add to my Not Happy List!

    Cancer, Covid
    & Coronary...


    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done.

    On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021.

    CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C".

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent!  I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post!

    ​Navigating This Mess!

    The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016.
