Today has been by far the busiest day since my surgery. I got up and it took a little over 2 hours for me to get moving and ready because everything takes longer on crutches and without bending your knee. Then I sang for Nancy’s son Jason’s memorial. The service was really beautiful and Fr. Keith offered a great homily. I think it was an important stepping stone for Nancy in her healing and I can definitely see she has come a long way since Jason passed away. After the memorial, Mom and I headed down to Albany for my cousin Tyler’s graduation party. It was really bittersweet because my family hasn’t all been together since my graduation party and it’s going to be a long time until we are all together again since my Uncle Mike, Aunt Kathy and Tyler are moving down to South Carolina a week from tomorrow…kind of crazy. After I got back from his graduation party, Matt and I went out for a while too. I am totally pooped but it’s such an amazing feeling to be tired! It’s been so long since I have been genuinely tired.

Ohhh — and yesterday I got 9 inches cut off of my hair…and bangs. Crazy, I know…but I’m really glad I did. I love it.

Halfway through…I was totally terrified!

Relieved and happy with the finished product…don’t mind the crutches

Many thanks to Meg for coming with me and being my emotional support and documenting my distress in photos.
