Tonight's picture was taken in February of 2009. Mattie was in his hospital bed and eating a homemade baked cupcake! Why did I bring cupcakes to the hospital? Because I used them as incentives! If Mattie cooperated and participated in physical therapy sessions, he was awarded with a cupcake. Since this was something Mattie still enjoyed eating, I went with it! Chemotherapy and surgery transformed Mattie's appetite, or lack there of! By the time he died, he was emaciated. Therefore, whatever he wanted to eat, that was what we gave him.
Quote of the day: In order to master a field, you must love the subject and feel a profound connection to it. Your interest must transcend the field itself and border on the religious. ~ Robert Greene
This morning I woke up and I thought for one minute that after breakfast, when all my morning chores were done, that I would take a nap! I never nap, unless absolutely necessary! But it came to my mind and it was truly something I had wanted to do! I am that tired! But like today's quote points out, some of the things we do and love become like part of our daily religion!
What I am talking about, as being my daily religion, is the Foundation! So instead of taking a nap, I moved to my computer. It is that time of year when I have to turn my attention to Foundation fundraising. Which means planning our virtual Walk. I decided to devote several hours today to designing the Walk website. Of course, like any computer work, it always takes MUCH MUCH longer than you think.
After several hours of working, I can safely say that I am not any closer to launching the Walk website. To me this is very frustrating! Of course I also work in a fish bowl. My office is right next to the family room. So I hear the TV, all conversations, and when my dad gets up and needs help in the bathroom, I have to stop what I am doing to assist him. Therefore I have to say that I HATE my office. There is no time in the day, other than when I shower and dress, that I have a minute to myself. I have no space, no down time, and never a moment when someone doesn't need something from me.
