Friday was my special day, "Chemo Day". I call them special because I am really good at getting chemo infused into my body. Never has my blood count been too low. These blood tests I always pass. I don't even need to study. This is a good thing, I talked my way through school. Yes, I have been called a butterfly a time or two. Blessing or curse? I am going with blessing.
I was not feeling well on Saturday. I would have loved to stay in bed all day. Although, when I do that, I end up a little "blue". My sweet mom was here. She had some errands to run at the mall. Olivia was going with her. My boys were with their dad at his "hobby" cattle farm. I had no reason not to get up and get dressed and spend some time with my mom and my adorable Olivia. As we were finishing up her errands, I saw the new store that opened in our little small town mall. I found a few cute dresses for Olivia that we just couldn't pass up. They were actually cute and long enough for her and on SALE. Yeah! While in line to check out, I noticed all the Fiesta Ware they had in stock. I was distracted and wandered over to the table where it was all displayed. I was admiring the tumblers with all their bold stripes that would match my Fiesta colors so well. I put them down and walked away.
On Monday, as I was driving home, my neighbor waved me down. He said,"I have a package that someone dropped off for you. They got the wrong house." It was a heavy box. I was perplexed as to what this could be and from whom? The box was wrapped and had writing on it that said,"To: Mindy M". I walked in the kitchen and tore it open. To my surprise, there were 9 Fiesta Tumblers with all their perfectly striped stripes staring back at me. I was teary. I do not know who delivered exactly what my heart needed that day. I call them Fiesta Fairies who made a really hard, yucky chemo weekend so much sweeter.
I love this!
