A good day ... oh yes it was. I was working ... working with Jodie and Pam. Okay other people were there too but it was Jodie and Pam that made the day fun. Thank God for them both!!
Today I had to start at 6:45am. Yesterday I was able to start at 7:15 due to a shift trade with Monica. Both worked out fine I'm happy to say.
This morning Pat from work gave me a donation for the Weekend To End Women's Cancers. This year she gave me another $100.00 cash ... and again I'm shocked. What a generous lady. I'm grateful for her continued support.

Jillian Quits Her Job
Jillian have her two weeks notice at her job in the dietary department of the Beverly Centre today. I helped her type up her resignation last night. She also typed up a resume and cover letter for a job at the reception desk at the Beverly Centre.
She was really nervous about giving her boss the letter this morning and her boss flipped on her and yelled and made it really tough on Jillian. That was too bad but I'm sure that made her realize all the more that she made the right decision to leave. It was a tough day for her but I'm glad it's over.
It's too bad though, she really liked working with the seniors there ... she enjoyed them so much. I hope she will visit them still. Better yet, I hope she gets the job at reception. That way she will still see them and I know she would like that a lot.
But if she doesn't get that job I know for a fact that she will be happier not dealing with such a miserable boss. And for that I am grateful.

Appt. Booked
The needle biopsy is booked for April 13th. Wow that was fast. I've made a shift trade with Sherry so I am able to keep the appointment. I'm not worried, since I've had one before (with the same doctor).
Other than that, nothing new. Worked today ... it was nice outside. I'm off for the next couple of days and it is suppose to be colder. Figures.

Mammogram/Ultrasound Update
Today Brenda, from the doctor's office,, called me to make a follow-up appointment to go over the results of my mammogram and ultrasound. Dr. Keremi is such a great doctor ... hate to say it but better than Dr. Harper. She wants me to go for a second opinion and get another ultrasound and a needle biopsy with a specialist. She showed me the report from the DI office that said "benign cyst" but she said, "I'd want a second opinion then you know you don't have to worry." That made me feel better ... not that I'm looking forward to the biopsy but then I'll know 100% that everything is okay.
And then this evening I received a message from Denise (at switchboard) that she didn't enter in the Easter Egg draw and felt she couldn't accept them. I figured out it was her co-worker Christine that entered on her behalf and told her that she won them and could pick them up any time. Who knows, maybe she will share with the night operators. That would be nice too.

A List of Thanks
So that had me thinking about the people I knew that did support me. Somehow I don't want to forget who they were. I don't know why it's so important to me right now ... but it is.
So I thought I'd list their names here on my own little blog as a way of always remembering who they were.
In Alphabetical Order:
Annette Lokos, Bessie Agar, Catherine Digel, Chantale Otterson, Christine Patterson, Darlene Campbell, Denise K. (winner), Diane McDonell, Donna Young and Perry, Doug May, Florence Lavoie, Heather Bowen, Jody Fargo, Joy Perry, Kathe Marko, Lana Timmerman, Lyndsay Mattock, Monica Vaz, Pat Jones, Pat Lomenda, Sandy Etherington, Sherry Ducharme and Yvonne Giffen.
And then there is Cathy, our Team Leader, that is a real inspiration. Without her fund raising ideas, help and enthusiasm none of this would even be possible.

Fund Raising Update
Today was the last day of the Easter Egg fund raiser. Denise, one of the night time operators, won all the chocolate eggs and the jar they were in. She guess 290 and the actual number was 287 ... it was really close.
For this fund raiser we raised another $136.00 for the Weekend to End Women's Cancers. Along with the $106.00 we raised at the cookie/coffee day (which was held on St. Patrick's Day) ... the grand total is $242.00 ... wow! It's really coming along and for that I'm really, really grateful.
I still haven't heard back from lots of people ... okay I still haven't heard back from most people. I'm a little disappointed by that. I was surprised to get an email from Melodie (Hallgren) Reid saying she mailed in a donation. Then there was Monica Vaz, from work, she gave me a cheque for $50.00 one morning we worked together. Lori Robison-Leroux gave me a $20.00 bill. Kevin's mom donated $50.00on-line the morning after I emailed her about the Cancer Walk. That was a really nice surprise.
So I've had some really great feedback from some really great people. I'm surprised that some haven't responded at all ... no email ... nothing. I don't know what to think exactly.

It's Easter
Today was Easter. We had everyone over for Brunch as an alternative to having everyone over for dinner. It was nice, I really liked it. Teresa, Kevin, Sam, Violet and Uncle Wally came over.
I made stuffed french toast, sausages, bacon and scrambled eggs. There was lots of fruit and cheese too. It was really yummy.
Jillian and Jacob asked last year that I don't make them look for their Easter eggs this year. So I didn't hide any of them ... I just put some chocolate in each of their baskets and put them in front of the fireplace. That was sort of a let down ... less work but a let down all the same. It sort of sucks that they have grown out of it all. And it reflects quite a bit on how much I got into the Easter holiday myself. I only dragged the holiday box out late last night and that was to get their baskets. In a way that's too bad.
But they are getting bigger and there is nothing I can do about that.
