Last night I went out to our company Christmas dinner and party. I had a nice time socializing and drinking some wine
and then this morning I realized, last night was the first time since 2007, the year I was diagnosed with the big C, that I have gone out socially!
I racked my brain once and then I racked it twice, I had to think, has it really been that long?
I am amazed, since I was re-diagnosed, survived a year of treatments and so on and so on, of how time just seems to get away from you, it has for me at least! I cannot believe that it has been 4 years since I have socialized! And that says a lot – I use to be a regular ol’ social butterfly before the big C and became a happy hermit ツ
Truly I was a happy hermit, I liked being home, beading, reading and woodcarving more then being around people, plus I was tired so much that I had to use my “activity energy stores” wisely. You know what I’m talking about, those of you who are still battling fatigue from treatments. You have to chose what activity you want to do and do well before getting tired. It doesn’t leave much room for running around being a social butterfly does it?
Anyhoos, I’m glad I went! It has been too long since I’ve mingled with the masses and had a glass of wine or two, may this be the first of many firsts! ٩(^,^)۶
