Day Thirty-Seven with Cancer/Day Eighteen without Cancer:
Today I spent a good part of the day finding phone numbers and making calls. One of the things I was focusing on today was the local wineries. I called several of them. We have so many around here. I figured it could be a good time investment. Sadly, I only got a hold of a few of them. Firehouse Winery was the place I was really impressed with. I called and told them my name and the woman said, "HEY, I know who you are! You sing here at the lake every summer." Surprised, I said, "Yeah...I do" and explained the reason for my calling. She was VERY accommodating. I was told they'd send out a gift certificate right away. How awesome is that? I also got a commitment from Old Mill and told her I could come by on my way home.
I headed out to Painesville for some van training at work. It didn't last nearly as long as I thought it might. Thankfully, it gave me time to sit and talk with Stephanie for quite a while. I'm so thankful to have an employer that I can talk to about all kinds of things. I'm extremely fortunate to have a woman who isn't JUST a boss, but a friend and sister-in-Christ. It means a lot to me.
I started home and stopped at Giant Eagle. They didn't have my prescription, of course. I picked up a gallon of milk for mom and was surprised at how much it hurt my gut. I stopped at Old Mill to pick up the gift certificate. I'm starting to get excited about the donations that we're getting. Let's hope that people continue to have generous hearts!

Day Thirty-Eight with Cancer/Day Nineteen without Cancer:
Wow. I have become REALLY good at sleeping the day away. Sure, I don't get to sleep until three am and then don't sleep well throughout the night, but that's no excuse. This morning I kept waking up and then I was just laying there tossing around. I finally got a call from John Michael that made me (sort of) get up and do something. What a wonderful guy. He just graduated. I still can't believe that many of them are JUST finishing high school. That's crazy to me. After we got off the phone I can't say that I did much.
Several hours later I forced myself to get up, shower and get out of the house. I tried going to the pharmacy again and they STILL didn't have my meds. I think I'm going to have to make some calls on that. I drove out to the Virant Family Winery to pick up a bottle of wine that was donated and then drove out to Painesville so that I could go to Target. Tara's baby shower is on Sunday and I wanted to pick up some items for her. I grabbed a Venti Iced Cinnamon Dolce Latte from Starbucks and then headed over to my sister's house.
Friday is pizza and movie night at the Debevec household. Hanging out with the boys always proves to be interesting. The first quote of the night was Caleb saying, "Oops. I tooted on accident. Do you toot sometimes?" I couldn't help but laugh. We watched Star Struck. I think it's a Disney movie or something. I kept gagging at the uber fake "love" in that movie. Sarah was trying to convince me that we need movies like that so that we can keep hope that "love" like that exists. I kind of just think it gives us unrealistic expectations, but that's just me. We then watched the Sorcerer's Apprentice. At the end of the movie, the apprentice kills the bad girl and I said it looked like something out of a video game. Jaden simply followed with, "GAME OVER". Seriously epic timing, that one. I love him. I said goodnight to Caleb and Jaden stayed downstairs with Sarah and me for a little while just TOTALLY cracking up. I showed him the top of my "wound" where my belly button is. I explained that I didn't really HAVE much of a belly button. He said, "WHAT?! THAT'S IT?!" What a turd. :)
When I got home I got on my Nook and went in search of a Bible to download. I'm not in college or high school anymore, so I can't get one for those people. I can't get a women's Bible because they tend to be geared toward wives and mothers. I don't really FIT in any category. After several sample downloads, I found this one called the True Identity Bible. I immediately knew that was it, but I sampled it anyway. It was exactly what I was looking for. It's for young women looking to find their true identity in Christ. The world puts pressure on women to be all different kinds of things, but as long as I know who I am in Him, I'm all good. I was so excited about my reading that I found that it was past 3 am when I checked the time. I reluctantly put my Nook away. I felt like I was having some really good God time. Thank goodness for electronic bookmarks and highlighting!

Live in harmony with each other. Don't be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don't think you know it all!
