I went to a spa and got a primo mani pedi… shout out to my nailtek @St Regis also a breast cancer survivor. As the saying goes, we are not alone! Peace and blessings!

Are they doing something special so you don’t get an infection? I was under the impression that public places like that should be avoided due to possibility of infection. Not trying to be a downer, God knows I would love a spa day!

Glad to hear you had a great day! Getting out for mani/pedi, lunch with friends, walking my dog on the beach…those things really lift my spirits and get my mind off of what I’m dealing with. I go back to my orig diagnosis of bc in 2013 when I had 16 rounds of chemo and each week on the 1 day I felt “good” I would plan an outing (I was on STD so not working) and having that to look forward to every week got me through. Wishing you joy in all the “Orange days” you can find!

Hi Hotantaphatz (love your "name", btw!),

When I read your post this morning, I'll confess that I wasn't certain what you meant by "bright orange day"...I can be very slow in the uptake! (shrug emoji)...But now I'm prepared to respond properly:

I'm having an *aquamarine* day, like most of my days, calm but energetic and bright! Also my birthstone (march) and always has me thinking of beautiful water! :)

Great question btw, thank you!

Be well, keep being *bright orange*!!

Hye Lynn, this is a carryover from when my son was younger. Smile. What color is your day is an adorable children's book that helped my little one express their feelings and emotions in a fun way. It is written by Carryn Wells. As an adult my family and friends and I have fun with it. So when my sister is having a yellow day, I know she is feeling great. She has kidney disease. We have fun mixing colors to try to guess how we are feeling. I went to the spa to feel better so I felt “orange” that day as I was being pampered. It has been awhile. Btw I love your days color. It sounds like you are chilling out; taking it easy. Right?
