We spent Christmas in Sanger at the Louie and Berts. Our annual White Elephant exchange was actually exciting this year. A ton of steals took place and believe it or not I actually ended up with a good present! I got a pretty red cashmere scarf and a make-up kit (way better than the breathalizer kit I got a few years back). Penny wore Grandma Linda's pretty pink and black Christmas dress with the beautiful coat that Rhonda got her for her birthday. She looked like a Christmas angel. Penny and her bff aka her cousin, Jaxon had a great time playing with Rocky, the dog, outside, which was warmer than normal this year!
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....
