For those of you in that area:

This. This is a strong strong woman. Grab your kleenex because you will need them.
And a shoutout to Nurse CoolVicky!! I wish I could send my friend Pam C your way. She's hurtin and in the big house. Needing lots of blood and stuff. I expect to see you all in a Team Debutaunt shirt in October, ok?
I can do this. Brenda D is my hero.
Your assignment today is to send some love out. Raise your karma. Do some good things. Do something nice for someone else. Give to charity. Actually volunteer because you want to, not because you think it will look good on your resume. Smile more. Let someone in traffic go in front of you. Make a point of being friendly to people you know have kind of craptastic jobs.
I once told a pharmacudical rep thank you. Because drugs saved my life, and continue to keep me alive. She actually teared up and said that in her 10+ years of working in that field, not one patient had ever said that.
I wish you all could experience life as I do just for one day.
