Nine Years Ago This Week

Shutterfly was kind enough to remind me this morning of what I was doing nine years ago this week. It turns out I was graduating from UC Davis with my second degree in Psychology. I now have three. I was also pretty healthy. I hadn't contracted TB yet and I didn't know about my then small brain tumor. I didn't have constant pain. I was able to walk miles in a day without any issues. I didn't need a nap every day.

Most of my memories are colored with my current reality. They're bittersweet. I miss being able to learn, work and travel. Our celebratory trip to Iceland was a once in a lifetime vacation. Although I feel that way about all of our trips.

I enjoy seeing what a bad ass I was back then...

Although I am still a badass! Look at what I was up to just a few days ago...

The muffler on Pablo our wheelchair van got ripped out when we went over a small metal square in a parking garage. It was so awful. I had to think on the fly and come up with solution after solution. Come to think of it, my life is still very adventurous! Ha ha.
