Next!

I really should get on here more often, I don't have anything to say today about cancer other than I'm getting ready to shave my head again with St. Baldrick's.  March 25th is our  great green shearing day.  I can't wait!  I love being able to do something that makes a difference.  Since I have joined the skin head ranks, new treatments have been developed with the money raised.  When I started, there was no treatment for Neuroblastoma.  Now there is a treatment.  It is important to do something to help these kids.  

Resurecting an old post from the first year I joined St. Baldrick's:

"A very cheerful update today.  I got to go to the Church Hill Irish Festival with friends today.  My best friend, Mary, & I decided to join in the shaving fun.  We managed to raise almost $300 in about an hour, not bad for a last minute entry.  Then we let them shave our heads.  I have to say, it felt wonderful.  I think I'd like to start earlier next year and see if we can't raise some real money for St. Baldrick's Foundation. 

I even got to talk about my cancer & treatment a little.

We had a wonderful time and I really want to do it again next year.  I think we look amazing!  We were cheered on by the crowd and even got a few hugs from complete strangers. 

This was the best Saturday I've had in 3 months!  The nausea was still present but managable.  I was sore, but didn't let that slow me down - too much.  It was so nice to get out of the house and have some fun on a beautiful day. 

Bonus: I won't have to worry about greasy hair, or buying shampoo, & it dries instantly.  Maybe I'll keep this style for a little longer than I had initially planned.

After a long and wonderful day, I'm off to bed.  May you dream of rainbows & unicorns!

Nameste!"

What a fun memory!  Now if only i were as small as I was in those photos.  What can I say, I am a work in progress.  If you would like to donate, please click on the link below.

On the employment front, I am looking for a change.  

I have my resume out and have 2 offers coming, I am told.  I spoke with another local company, but am not sure I am qualified enough for them.  They do hospitals and I know a lot more about lighting than I do power.    

I saw some former co-workers today who asked me to come back to the fold.  I just submitted my application there.  We shall see.  Now I just have to be patient and wait to see what the future brings.

Love and hugs for everyone!
