I mentioned in an earlier 52 Weeks shot about a friend who had been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Since then, she's been through a horrible operation, some serious radiotherapy and a huge amount of weight loss. She has a rare form of cancer which grows aggressively, but thankfully doesn't metastasise (ie. spread throughout the rest of the body). Anyway, for the moment (and hopefully into the distant future), she's doing well, and the doctors are unsure of how her tumour will react to the treatment. We're all hoping for the best, and she's getting on with her life as normal which is great. To top it off, she's put on a few kilos too!

 

During her operation, she went through a MASSIVE amount of blood. Blood that was donated by people like you and me. Every single person who donates blood helps someone. You're helping unborn children, old people, sick people, rich people, and poor people. Everyone's life is worth it, so do your part and donate. I did it today and trust me, it's not a painful process. The snacks afterwards are worth the trip alone!

 

In Australia, contact The Red Cross Blood Service on 13 14 95 to make an appointment, or simply visit www.donateblood.com.au/. In other parts of the world, you guys will have your own blood services, it's a wonderful thing you'll be contributing towards so go and do it!

The Mysterious Xiangxi of China

They followed me very closely to the wire and then, when they realized that I didn't have anything for them, one of them sounded a windpipe squeaklike honk and they all did an about face and trotted off. As if!

 

I think they're guinea fowl.

We had a great time that night threatening to dress our neighbor's lawn jockeys in bra and panty sets. Fill'er up!

My office at work is a beautiful room in a historic house (built in the mid-1800s) attached to the church building. It has unpainted wood trim, a large bay window, and the walls are painted a sunny yellow I picked out myself (I simply couldn't live with the seafoam green it was when I first started working here). I have let it get ridiculously messy over the last couple of years. I have had very limited office hours (particularly this year, when I am only in one afternoon a week), and it's hard to justify spending that time cleaning up. I know that's not a smart way to look at it. Oh, who am I kidding, the truth is that cleaning up, organizing, and staying on top of things is just something I struggle with. It actually seems to be getting worse as I get older!

 

Anyway, I had to find something yesterday, so I spent a good long time combing through all my files - half of which were in filing cabinets, but the other half of which were stuck in random piles around the room. I found many other things in my long search - a bag of books I bought in Italy 2.5 years ago and haven't opened since, a pack of pictures from my 10th high school reunion, and this book that I have been looking for at home for awhile. It's called Do It Now: Breaking the Procrastination Habit. Ah, irony, I love it when you sneak up and bite me like that.
