First pancreatic cancer awareness day November 13, 2014

Today is the first ever, worldwide, pancreatic cancer awareness day!!! I lost my father to this disease, so I am grateful that it has finally been recognized.

I just had a blah day, knocked out seven miles on the treadmill.  Wished I was anywhere else but there, I seem to have lost my desire to run lately.  I know that the weather has a lot to do with it. I now why people call it the dreadmill.  

It is a pick up and eat at home kinda day.  The wonderful veterans hospital, has screwed me up again. My medication ran out over the weekend it was supposed to be here on the ninth so I am just feeling like a pile of $&:,   They are all about, hurry up and wait.  Certain anti-depressants can cause withdrawals, which sucks.

Did I mention how much I dislike the cold? Lol. I never seem to be warm.

On the bright side tomorrow is a new day and I will be fine. I know this is rambling so have a great evening.

Do you like/dislike the cold?

Do you often feel blah and just want the day to end?

How is the weather where you are?

Good luck to NYC marathoners!!!! Pancreatic cancer awareness

First, good luck to my friends running in the New York City Marathon!!!!  I hope one day to run it, maybe next year after Ironman.

Pancreatic cancer awareness month is November.  I hate pancreatic cancer, also known as the silent cancer.  My father died in August 2011 from pancreatic cancer.  Most times when diagnosed it has already progressed to stage four.  My father only lived about a year after diagnosis. A high school friend of mine, Jenny Kreider, just lost her father to the same thing.  There is only a 6%, five year life expectancy after diagnosis.  Most people never hear about how serious pancreatic cancer is, because the majority of cancer information we hear about is breast cancer, lung cancer, and leukemia.  I am happy to see that pancreatic cancer is getting some "recognition."

On a more positive note, yesterday's gratitude for me was having such a wonderful father.

I've had a very peaceful weekend.  Must send a thank you to BOBOS oat bars for sending me samples of their gluten free products, also received  my Pickybars.  I love getting packages. I ordered a five pound bag of wheatgrass seeds that should keep a steady supply in my house.   I got the last bundle of wheatgrass at Petsmart for $7.  I thought that was ridiculous, did a little research and determined that I could grow the same amount for .25 cents.  

Have a restful Sunday and remember to sparkle, and be grateful.

How was your weekend?

What are you grateful for today?

Have you ever known someone who had pancreatic cancer?

Is anyone out there,? Anyone?
