On Friday I got the best news I could possible hope for. While I have lupus, and will always have lupus, I have the mildest form you can have, and still have lupus. There is a 10 percent chance it will become worse. but I'm choosing to focus on the 90 percent chance that it won't. It's all about being positive, right?
As I left the doctors office I reached down for my phone to call Doug and my parents to give them the news and it rang just as I pulled it out of my purse. It was Nicole, coordinating the DC Metro Moms party. I of course had to tell her the news and someone who I only know through blogging became the first person to share in my joy. Her happiness for me was real and touching. She found out before my husband.
The party that night was a blast, and I honestly have to say the DC Metro Moms are the loveliest group of women. I drove Mary, Stacy, and Lindsay in the Traverse Chevy had given me for the week to drive. Leticia presented me with peapod gift cards, gifts from the DCMM crew because I had been sick and turned down all offers of help and food being brought to my house. Of course I left them on the table at the restaurant and they have yet to be located. I'm so bummed, but the thought was so lovely that they did something like that for me. And there was wine, a lot of wine.
And then we went to a wedding Saturday night with even more liquor and there may have been some drunk twittering on my part. I will neither confirm nor deny the rumors of it's existence.
All in all a fabulous weekend that involved good news, good friends, and lots of lots of wine. And a wicked bad hangover.
