Been back to work for a month yesterday!
Today I get to rest once again to just recover from the everyday work stress. Of course I don't really want to get stressed but stress seems to enjoy sneaking in on you no matter how you condition yourself not to succumb to it. I am thankful though that I have learned to somehow stop when I do feel it or when I feel bad and try to clear my system so I don't get to be totally sucked in... Maybe in time I just get to really do the best I can in any circumstance and not let issues bother me. After all work is a good thing! Just do your work in the office then leave it there and try not to think of it when you get home... Haha hope though that my mind is really conditioned for that. So many times I am tempted to just take some stuff so I could work at it or take a look see at home BUT I keep reminding myself. NO! You have to rest too! You need it if you want to be able to work well...
But today I also got a lot of work call regarding some emergency issues that need to be addressed. I wasn't angry that I got disturbed from my day-off because honestly, I am also concerned when issues in the company arise plus I also get excited as my mind try to work on them... but have to remind myself not to get stressed and just think clearly and advice the best that I can then settle down and set the issues aside.
No stress! Just work and rest...there has to be balance.
One month working on it so far. Taking one day at a time.
I think I've done well so far, hope to do better in the coming months...

NED
Had my third checkup after my chemo
and I saw the doctor wrote NED in my record
It is short for No Evidence of Disease!
I was relieved and happy!
Thank you Lord!

Cancer is so Limited...
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot eat away peace
It cannot destroy confidence
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot shut out memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot reduce eternal life
It cannot quench the Spirit
It cannot lessen the power of the Resurrection.
Above poem was given during the memorial service of Dan Richardson who demonstrated that his spirit remained triumphant over cancer.
I got that from Our Daily Bread and they added another quote "Our greatest enemy is not the disease but despair."
How so very true!

Back to work
I went back to work last March 1.
I had a really really long vacation and it is good to be working again. People in the office were happy to see me back though they are still concerned that I might overstress myself and constantly remind me to just take it easy. There is really no problem with work, it was just like doing the regular stuff. Like I just start on a normal working day from a previous day. The trip to the office is another thing though plus I don't get to exercise and move around too much which my body certainly needs. I've commuted through public transport only twice since my brother has volunteered to bring me to work and fetch me there or in most cases fetch me in my boss' home since I ride back with her. Her place is definitely nearer than my office.
Public commute from my home to the office is really "toxic" so many people so my brother's offer was really great relief. I hope he doesn't get tired bringing and fetching me.
The work place environment is still the same and is still a major concern because of pollution
and so many people. No problem in the office but down below on the street... Ahhhh! Good thing it is summer and I don't have to bother with rain and just walk fast to the office from the car with my mask and hanky as additional covering... and so I work and work in the meantime and worry later when the rainy season comes...(my eyes read your suggestion to yourself again! Worry later! haha)
One thing I really appreciated since I got back to the office, aside from the support from people there of course, was the mass we had on March 2. It is a first Friday mass which our office always have. I volunteered to be the mass commentator and I was so touched when our priest - a monsignor by the way, came to me during the Prayer for the Faithful and ask the people to raise their hands and pray for me. I could feel my eyes well up as he said the prayer! Okay... okay... tears actually fell! I am so blessed to have so many people praying and caring for me!
And I am blessed to be able to work again!
