Happy birthday to 4 strangers
I booked today off work to just stay at home by myself and be sad or go for a run or do whatever I darn well please. Five years ago today a medical mistake took my mother from my life forever. I still miss her every day although it does get easier to deal with.
I will try and be positive, though, and think of the fact that 4 people are celebrating their 'new birthdays' today through my Mom's organ donation.

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Cecilia arrived 12 October 2012
Hugs. I am so sorry. I think you are very smart to take the day to yourself and do what you need to do.
Like you said, there are 4 people that you may not know, but are celebrating because your mom did a wonderful thing by being an organ donor.

I'd hug you, but I'm all germy.
I think chocolate is a necessity.

Baby #2: Surprise BFP 9.19.12, EDD 5.24.13, natural m/c 10.19.13 at 9w
Thanks for all the hugs. You ladies always seem to find a way to make me feel warm and fuzzy.
I went to the gym with expectations of a 6mile+ run and was feeling great. Just before 4 miles I realized that I was wearing my new sports bra that chafes me sometimes and I didn't put any vaseline on so I stopped at 4 miles so I wouldn't rub too much skin off my poor chest. After that I ellipticalled.
I did go to Bulk Barn and get some veggie flutes and dark chocolate rose buds. I bought WAY too many rosebuds and ate probably half of them
Now my tummy hurts and I have a migraine starting up. I've taken ibuprofen but didn't get to it soon enough so Zomig, here I come.
Otherwise, I'm feeling as good as I can. My Dad put a nice memorium in the Windsor Star from all of us and I'm looking forward to going over there with my flowers and see him tonight.
Again, I thank you ladies for all the hugs today. Honestly, the way I deal with this IRL is I want people to acknowledge that I'm sad and not pressure me by giving me space but not actually talk to me about why I'm sad. I know that makes no sense but I keep to myself. But, in my internet life, I have no idea talking about it. I guess because it's not face to face? Now I'm rambling.
Beth I'm so sorry for your loss. I also had a family member pass away who was an organ donor and although it does help to know someone else was able to keep their loved one as a result, at the end of the day it's still a sucky situation and seems unfair. Just keep eating the hell out of that chocolate, cry if you feel like crying, and know that we are thinking about ya
Now jumping domestically.
Well that was a crazy couple of years.
