Cause I might be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it...

Sex’s in the air, I don’t care I love the smell of it.

Well, that is just lyrics from a song that I have had stuck in my head for days. I guess I’m partial to it cause...well... let’s just not elaborate.

I don’t know if you are like me, but I associate a lot with music and songs can further lift my mood of bring me to tears depending on the moment. Right now, I am in a very upbeat mood and I could not appreciate life and music more. I had a very hard last few months and I am proud to say, it was all a blessing in disguise. You would say... are you crazy? How can cancer be a blessing in disguise?!! Well, it can.

First off, let’s spell it: tumor removed (mandarin size I was told). I was operated early enough that I won’t need radiotherapy or chemo. I get to keep my hair!! Woot!!

When faced with the cold truth of not being immortal, it gets some people thinking. For me, it had me think about how longs of hours I spend at work and how much pressure I self-impose. Yeah, life’s a rat race when you want to get to the top but you know what? I’m friggin young and I’m already way up there where people twice my age wouldn’t dream of being. Having said that, I know I’ll own the corporate ladder one day, it just doesn’t have to be tomorrow. I have been on an exponential climbing curve and it’s ok to walk up instead of sprinting. So I decided that I wouldn’t work more than 50 hrs/week unless I really have to. If something comes up on the week end, I’ll ask myself if it can wait to Monday (and it usually can) and I’ll do it then, I am done choosing work over D, training and eating my way through life. Also, D deserve more than being the “after work” plan.

For him too, it had impacts; he was already burnout of cycling after so many years without a break and passing on many activities and fun for the sake of training. He decided he wanted to spend more time with me and have fun (yay!)

So we’ve been going to our vacation home in Canmore every week end since we got the keys. I have never felt so relaxed and contempt, it is great to go some place where there is no worries, no rush, no need to put on the suit and just be. I love it.
