Tara's Blog - SOS--Can't Stop Smiling

I HAD SUCH AN AMAZING WEEKEND!!!! A Friday night full of vendors, a Saturday night spent with friends and family, and a relaxing Sunday afternoon dedicated to homework and relaxation. I am so so so so so happy that I was feeling okay to actually leave my house this weekend for reasons other than going to doctor's offices. Thursday night I had a fever of 103.8 for most of the night and I did not go to class Friday morning. I immediately thought "Great, I'll be feeling like crap the whole weekend and won't be able to go to my own events." I barely ate on Friday (just the thought of food made me want to gag), and I had no idea if I would be able to make it to the vendor night. But, I must have clicked something on in my brain because I actually felt great both Friday and Saturday night! My mom says being around your friends and family literally makes you feel better, and it's true! I didn't have any aches or pains, and I slept like a baby all weekend. I'm so lucky to have been able to spend some time away from the house because I know there are a lot of cancer patients who don't feel well enough to do that, even though they desperately want to. I am ending this weekend with a huge smile on my face, and I can't wait to take on this week with the same positive energy that I have right now. Happy Sunday!
