Last night after work I took Penny to a Throwback Thursday screening of Disney's Robinhood at Disney's El Capitan. It was nice to have a little Mother-Daughter outing on a weekday as most weekdays we are at home doing the usual thing. We arrived at 6pm and got our tickets from Will Call. With each of our admissions we got popcorn and drink. The theatre was beautifully decorated for Cinderella with flowers hanging everywhere. They even had a big display case with the gorgeous dress the lead actress wore in the film. Penny started out in a booster seat but ended up in my lap which honestly I didn't mind. It was nice to hold my girl close. It was funny to watch the film because I have heard the music and dialogue play a million times from Penny's iPad but I haven't ever watched the movie so it was new yet familiar to me. After the movie we were hungry but it was late so even though we had popcorn we walked ourselves into the ice cream shop next door and ordered a Mint Chocolate Chip and Dark Chocolate Sundae and we ate every last bite. When was the last time you had popcorn and ice cream for dinner? As she finished up the ice cream she told me she was tired and I drove one happy little girl home. Awe, I must have another outing with her again. So precious.
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....
