Seriously, I never type things like OMG, TMI, LOL, or whatever else is out there. My 12 year old also does not for the most part, though she seems to enjoy ROFL. Whatever. Pick your battles! PYB! ;)
But - today was OMG! Hubby has literally clocked in about 5 hours of sleep in the past 2 days, and I felt bad this morning. MY areola. MY Stupid Cancer Conference. But, not only was he up and about and drinking copious amounts of coffee, but he was happy. Personally, I too have to go without sleep from time to time, but damn. He's a real partner.
I'm exhausted and on margarita 1 1/2 (I know my limit!) and have an early-ish gig tomorrow, so this will be short. But - WOW. I mean, seriously. Good vibes, very little "poor me" all day, and the only time we heard it was snippets from very few audience members. It was a very positive day. Get a roomful of about 200 cancer patients and family, and have 99% positivity... you couldn't get 200 people WITHOUT cancer and get that percentage back. You know I'm right. So, what is it about this group?
The reason for Stupid Cancer, in my humble opinion, is to empower, enlighten and network young folks with cancer. I mean, the reason I *probably* stumbled upon them was doing some sort of googling, being mad that I got this shit, and laughing at the name. And immediately wanting a shirt. Hubby and I pretty much have a Stupid Cancer Wardrobe. The stock comes and goes, and I assume with the conference, they will be sold out of some stuff for a while - so check back. My favorite shirt is the one with the fists. But I love them all! And my hat. And my mug. And my cancer cards. And my magnet. And my stickers. Maybe Stupid Cancer should partner with Shopaholics Anonymous.
Ok, Margarita 1/2 (on top of the 1) is hitting me hard, so before I crumble and type some shit I don't want to (or do a face plant on the keyboard) I need to say that I'm super excited for tomorrow's gig. Why? Well, I love the artist and band, but it's a freaking Kid's Cancer event. I mean, seriously. I'm starting to see a purpose in my life here. Did I ever? I thought maybe I was here to inspire young musicians, and I guess that has been going well. But this is getting deep.
Over and Out.
