Got the call (again... )

Ottawa still undecisive as to a start date this week.  Still may be Wed or Thurs, but more probable Wednesday.  Marika called.  That's her name and I have yet to meet her, but I know her voice now as soon as I answer.  I can understand getting everyone together, ok-ing it all, and synchronizing their time schedules also has to fit in there.  I'm a good waiter, AND my customers don't mind (most of them), the last minute calls so it all works out.
If I had to actually mention my condition here, which I will this once.  Just cause I hate being a whiner ( I even dislike the word "hate".. lol), but back to the whiner bit.. I dislike being a whiner.  So I always keep it bright and happy.  For myself and anyone around me.  I mean, seriously, what is worse than someone you ask "How are you".. and the LIST starts!  lol  So I'm the opposite.  I do my hair in the morning, and makeup, I head on out to groom and enjoy my day!  When asked, I say "I'm great!", and I actually mean it.
But, saying this once here... it's not always that great.  :p
I dislike the fact I am reminded of this 24/7 as it encroaches into my airway and I can feel that!  Didn't need a doctor to tell me that much.  My ear constantly has a feeling of fullness and sounds water logged to me.  At times, towards the night, there is enough swelling that there just is not enough room for my throat AND the tumour so there's competition.  Feels like someone has me up against a wall and is choking me.  Doesn't help I talk/sing my butt off all day and don't give my throat a rest.   Anyway, blahhh blahhh ,, I can go on.  But as I said, people would avoid me if I even started, as I do to the ones who do that to me.. haha :p
Just thought I would give a small idea of some of the symptoms I have because outwardly I act and seem fine, but inside, it's not always that way. 
OK, DONE! :P  Back to my self denial self.

Hoping this blog helps:
A) My customers in following along with my "stuff" and when I'm up and running and how this will NOT affect me at all :p
and
B) Giving many people the inspiration to wake every morning like it is your last.  Healthy one's or one's who have "stuff" going on with them, we are all above the green grass / white snow so smile, learn and advocate for yourself.
