Caught up with my girlfriend, Caroline tonight. We met up in Highland Park on the strip of York Street that is becoming quite the hipster place due to gentrification. We had dinner at Ba, a French Restaurant. Sat out on the enchanting back patio with glasses of wine and shared an absolutely amazing mushroom and cheese appy, shared steak and frites and then for dessert walked over to Donut Friend which is an absolutely amazing donut shop and found these babies to take home. (Note: My favorites were the Mango Chile-Lime Donut and the Lemon Donut sporting all the fruit). Meanwhile, Daddy and Penny went out for a milkshake at Lolli and Pops.
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....
