Was it me or did September fly by? I can't believe it's the beginning of October already. You know what that means, the holidays are coming. Normally this is a fun and exciting thing but in this economy it's a real bummer to a lot of people. I really wanted to have a Halloween party this year but I feel like it's not something I should really be spending a ton of money on. That is what this economy has come down to.. the way you think and the way you spend. There were some layoffs at work yesterday and I have it in the back of my mind...what would I do if I were laid off? When you have a house it kinda freaks you out that maybe one day you couldn't afford to live there. I probably shouldn't have watched that 60 Minutes story on this couple who was kicked out their home and living in camp site. But that is the reality of our economy. People are loosing their houses. These economic hard times suck because you are constantly asking yourself if you should really be doing this or really be doing that. Should I spend on this or splurge on that? In this ecomony you just never know if your job is safe. If you think about it we are living in stressful times. People worrying if they will be able to make ends meat. I don't like it one bit but that is the world today. So as the world churns and burns and its the first of October I am not thinking about little pumpkins, candy and costumes...I am thinking about what expenses are coming around the corner. It's a sad state of affairs people when the approaching holidays don't bring a smile to your face.
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
