My work's annual tree lighting ceremony aka the company holiday party, took place tonight. I went with one of my mom friends from Penny's daycare and her son, Logan, who is Penny's best friend. We had a good time chatting with co-workers, making flip books, eating a few cookies and of course, seeing the big tree get all light up in all its glory. Work sure went all out tonight as they had fireworks and fake snow. Penny enjoyed her second night with snow.
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....
