Day Fifty-Seven with Cancer

Day Fifty-Seven with Cancer/Day Thirty-Eight with Cancer:

Another training day today, however we didn't do anything.  I got here and since there wasn't really anything to work on, Mim just left early.  Productive day today.  Again, we were able to get stuff done fairly early.  I got out of the office right at 6.  Lovely!  I decided to stop at Pat Catan's after work.  I was looking for a ribbon stamp, but sadly they didn't have any.  I ended up getting some actual blue ribbon, pins, ink, and posts for jewelry.  Hopefully I can get some things done and ready to go before the benefit.  I don't know if anyone else cares at all about having that kind of thing, but I think it would be cool to have some stuff.  It made me a little sad to see that there was breast cancer stuff EVERYWHERE, but where is the stuff for colon, thyroid, childhood, ovarian, brain, stomach, pancreatic, and every other kind of cancer?  I feel like it's just popular to do the "pink" thing.  Don't get me wrong, pink is my favorite color, but I'm more of a blue and purple girl now.  Blue is the color for colon cancer, but purple is the color for survivors.  If you've had cancer or loved someone who has, every day you're alive, you're a survivor.

Today was the first (and probably only) day that I will go straight home.  It was almost sad.  I'm starting to get used to hanging out with people all the time.  I was able to get in some quality time with the Mater though.  We watched SYTYCD while we talked about what kind of appetizers and desserts we are going to make for the benefit.  Yikes!  I'm starting to get nervous.  I feel like there's no way we're going to get everything done in less than a week once we get back.  It's a little frightening.  We'll get it done though.  I have faith that it'll turn out nicely.  Let's pray!

Song of the Day: Body Language-Queen

Verse of the Day: Isaiah 40:31
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.  They will soar high on wings like eagles.  They will run and not grow weary.  They will walk and not faint.
