Last night was a wonderful, albeit, late night. I had such a wonderful time supporting my friend Kim and her family. Kim was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer right before Christmas, she is getting treatment and in good spirits, such an amazing lady and I was so thankful to be able to support her and her family last night. I did great with my commitment, I ate my veggies and a few other people brought veggie and fruit trays too so there was plenty to choose from. I drank my spark and sipped on some water and had a fabulous time with great people. Danced to the band after trivia and stayed out to midnight laughing, talking and having a fantastic time. With the time change I woke up and it was almost 10! ugh, compared to my newly usual 0700 wake up on weekends I felt like have my day was gone already. Oh well, one day wont kill me. Its a lazy rainy Sunday. I decided to veg out and catch up on some shows and make some soup. oh and work out of course! Gotta get some serious relaxation in for the work week ahead!
