3rd year in a row

So, came home from knitting and went to the mailbox. Next thing Robbyn knows I'm giving my excited yell. Why? There was a nice big brownish flat envelope from the Governor's office in our mailbox. We put a proclamation request in a couple weeks ago for Self Injury Awareness Day as we have done for the past few years, since 2006 to be exact. We have gotten it granted for the third year in a row. We didn't get it the first year.




So, we're good for the year. This gives us time for the bill to get through legislation. The differnece between the bill and the proclamation is that with the proclamation we have to ask for it yearly. With the bill (that's if it gets passed) it would be yearly automatically.

What a week

It's been one of those weeks I'll tell you. Between rescheduling the Self injury Awareness Day Informational Fair (SIAD), doing a new website for SIAD, cancelling this months board meeting, finding out one friend might be dying of chirrosis of the liver and another having a 90% of cancer I don't know which end is up.




The one that might be dying of chirrosis is an alcoholic and was just/is in the hospital for internal bleeding. The friend that might have cancer had a biopsy yesterday and we're waiting for the results now. This one is a good friend of mine and I'm really scared for her. At least tomorrow's saturday so I can get together with my knitting group.
