Days Forty-Nine and Fifty with Cancer

Day Fifty with Cancer/Day Thirty-One without Cancer: 

What a seriously long and crazy day!  I had training with Mim again and we were crazy busy all morning.  I didn't have more than a few moments of down time all day.  I got out at six and was going to stop for food, but was talking with Jeffrey on the phone for quite some time.  He's going to help out quite a bit with the benefit.  He's such a dear.  I was getting my food when dad texted me and asked if I wanted to stop and have some ice cream with them.  I told him I'd have to go feed the dog and let her out first, so we met 20 minutes later at Rees' drugstore.  They were closed, so we ended up at Baskin Robbins.  Mom and dad had eaten with grandma for her birthday.  At least I got to participate in the yummy part of it.  Mom and I discussed all the craziness that was going on.  They took grandma back and I went home to start cleaning out my car so that we could fit all the Pampered Chef stuff in there.  I started taking inventory of all of the boxes and finally found what each person ordered at the very bottom of one box.  By then I figured I might as well just bag up what everyone bought and load it that way.  It took from about 7:30-11.  I didn't even take my shoes off until after that.  Right in the middle of finding things and putting them in bags, I see a bird over by our window.  I remember saying very matter of factly, "So...there's a bird in the house."  I ran to get a towel and spent the next 15-20 minutes chasing this bird around the house.  I can only imagine how funny it would have been to watch.  I kept hopping over the baby gate (for the dog) and over and around bags of Pampered Chef products.  It was sheer insanity.  I was finally able to catch the bird and release it outside.  We had to get back to work right after.  I couldn't believe how long it took.  It was nice knowing that that many people had invested in something to support me though.  When we were done, I was toast.  I got my pajamas on and crawled into bed.  Yes, I got on the phone after that, but I was not entirely coherent.  What a looooong day.  And yet, it was a great one. :)

All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.


Day Forty-Nine with Cancer/ DayThirty without Cancer:

Ok...I know I went to work today...why can I remember nothing else about this day?  I woke up late because I was up talking until three in the morning.  I went to work until 6 and I made a stop after work.  What in the world was it?  I think I stopped at Giant Eagle.  Yes, I'm pretty sure that's what it was.  It's sad when I obviously didn't do anything very exciting, because I can't remember ANYTHING.  Yikes.  Not even anything to report in a blog.  Lame.
