I gave the blog a wintery theme. It’s good to change it up now and again. After all, winter is coming.

Jax is growing up way too fast. I ordered him a “big boy” bed this morning.  It will be delivered tomorrow. We went out tonight and bought new bedding.  He picked a Justice League set, of course.

My hair is in a weird place and I kind of hate it. I’m grateful to have any hair, of course, but growing out short hair is a major pain. My Chi flat iron has been rescued from retirement. (Btw, I bought my Chi for $200 in 2002 and IT STILL WORKS PERFECTLY. That’s with almost daily use; with the exception of the last year, of course.)

I made my (not so very) glorious return to the gym on Thursday. My plastic surgeon finally cleared me for exercise. I decided to take it slow, and so I ran/walked about 2 miles. I plan to start up with my personal trainer again too. I’m signed up for another half-marathon in April, so I’ve gotta get back to it.

My good friend starts rehab next week, and I’m so proud of her. I start crying if I think about it too long.

I’m very much looking forward to Christmas this year. I barely remember last year’s Christmas, because I was still recovering from the mastectomies and then the axillary lymph dissection. This year I get to spend the day with my two favorite people, and I think it’s going to be great. I can’t wait. <3
