Day Thirty-Five with Cancer/Day Sixteen without Cancer:
Seriously. Today is my first day alone. I basically have nothing to report as I just slept most of the day. I wasn't sure what to do with myself. I made some calls for the fundraiser, but really...it was pretty depressing. I missed my family. I guess I got kinda spoiled having them around these past couple of weeks. So, now what?
Couldn't sleep again. I don't know what this thing is about me not getting to sleep until 3 or so in the morning, but it's getting old. I ended up playing Angry Birds all night. I ended up beating the whole first level. I'm a little confused about how they figure that. The first section is three levels and the second section starts on the fourth one? I dunno. I just think that's way more complicated than it needs to be.

Always be joyful. Never stop praying.
Day Thirty-Six with Cancer/Day Seventeen without Cancer:
I decided I was getting out of the house today. I woke up and took my morning cocktail of pills. (Only 7 of them in the morning) I hopped into the shower and put on a sun dress. I think I'm starting to get used to wearing dresses. They're just so much easier right now. They don't press on my belly.
I typed up and printed out several copies of our donation letter and got ready to take them to a few places. First, I stopped at the school. It was really nice to take a little time and catch up with a few of the girls. I love being able to chat with Andrea and Shiloh. I miss them. The kids seemed pretty excited. I stopped down the hallway and visited with the 3's for a little bit. Half of them were REALLY excited and the other half were really hesitant...like they weren't sure if they were going to hurt me. Both were very sweet. (Though I have to say, I preferred the more hesitant approach than the girl who launched herself onto my back. Yikes. I was a little scared) I picked up my check and after several times of saying, "Ok, I'm really leaving this time" I went. I got as far as the nearest stop light when my sister called me. She had stuff for me to pick up at her place. I told her I'd swing by on my way back.
My next stop was Barnes and Noble. I was dropping off my donation letter, but I also wanted to pick up a case for my Nook. I found a case that I think I like and spoke with the girl about donations. She said she should have something ready by the end of next week. That works for me! I headed to Howard's Jewelry after that. I kept that visit short and sweet, but was told that they should (probably) have something at the end of next week as well. I wanted to stop by Best Buy, but I wasn't sure how late Finestra was open and I wanted to pick up the donation that they made. I parked down one of the side streets and walked just a little bit. I was able to pick up the Troll bead bracelet and head back. I couldn't see the bracelet or anything, but they had seemed to hook us up. They had packaged everything so nicely and gave us lots of pamphlets and cards. How exciting! I swung by Sarah's to get her stuff. She printed pictures from the hospital for me and had some large prints in frames for mom. They were getting ready to head to church, so I got out of there pretty fast. The traffic going home was ridiculous! Glad I didn't have anywhere to be.
Jenny was texting me about the fundraiser and she said that the reporter from Star Beacon wants to meet me to get an interview and photo. I guess she'll be coming over tomorrow at 11. I feel ill prepared. I wonder what kind of questions she's going to ask. "How did you feel when you were diagnosed?" I dunno...I keep going over things, but I think I'm going to sound like an idiot cause I can't think of any possible questions a person could ask me right now. I wonder what I should wear. Hmm..
I got home and hung out with mom. Thankfully she'll be home most of the day tomorrow. We took a look at the bracelet. It's absolutely gorgeous. If I didn't already have one started, I'd bid on it myself. There is one pink bead with glitter inside. I said I think it's a Glinda bead. I also like the one with the vintage looking Violets. It's an awesome piece worth $220. We also have pieces from Fuller Furniture and several pair of tickets to local shows. It's gonna be awesome! I guess I better try to go to sleep so I can be ready for this.
P.S. I think the Songs of the Day for a while are going to be Diva inspired. I need some diva sass right now.

Verse of the Day: Phillipians 3:8
Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ
