So this coming Friday, March 26th, is my birthday. Just another day to me, really. However, there will definitely be those inevitable moments of quiet reflection in which I think about how my life has been since 2005, when I was diagnosed with Diabetes and my heart failed for the first time (second time in 2008). How I've survived, avoided a heart transplant, got my swagger back, et cetera. How I still hold it down as a Diva, even if my steps are sometimes a bit unsteady, or I'm rockin' a cane some days because I have nerve damage in my legs and I'm in pain. Not to mention all the prescription pills I swallow each day just to keep things pumping and moving like they should. Still then, I am THE DIVA, even though I've been denied health insurance because of my pre-existing conditions and can't afford all the necessary medical care (note to self: Google health care bill to see what's up currently) and wonder sometimes if I'll make it to the NEXT birthday?
But Friday, March 26th is just a few days away, and it looks like I have made it to that next one. Woo hoo! And phew!
Even still it's just another day. Unless, of course, Nick Cannon finally takes notice of my little "hire-me" campaign and actually does call me during the show and offers me a job on-air the way I want him to. Then March 26th might actually be about something!
