The Return of the Daily Grind
Today I’m back at work. Honestly, I was excited to get back to work. I love my job. I do the grunt work, but I absolutely love the people I work with. I didn’t have too many e-mails when I got back to work, but that was to be expected. I’m glad I’m able to work full time. Sometimes it’s a challenge with school, in fact, most of the time it’s a challenge with school. Josh also working full time and being in school complicates things even more. After all the healthy food we ate in Texas (well, minus the gut-busting hot chocolate and the Crème Brule…) I feel we need to work on eating more healthily. I honestly believe this will be easier once the semester is over. Or at least once some of my classes are over. It’s just so much easier to make Hamburger helper, or something frozen bursting with preservatives and fakeness. It has to start with healthier shopping, which will also be easier once I can actually get home before 9:00 p.m. more than one night a week! So the daily grind returns, and the nose returns to the grindstone. Is that why that call it a daily grind? With renewed vigor, I’ll press my shoulder to the wheel, and push along!
Now for the important part…
Saturday December 1st, I’m going to give platelets at the ARUP blood bank. Please, any of you who have the ability to donate blood or platelets (you DON’T have to be in Utah), please join me. In order to donate platelets through ARUP, you must have donated blood and be in their system before. I am going about 2:00 p.m. Please feel free to join me from wherever you are. We usually remember to give food, and clothing, and toys during this Christmas season, but what if we could give something in addition. Something that is completely free for us to give, yet life-saving and priceless to those who receive this gift. For those of you who know about the story of Bryce Brown, this blood giving day is inspired by Bryce. Feel free to read his story at www.brycedbrown.com.
P.S. I'm having trouble getting the pictures to post. I'll keep working on this!
