Breast Cancer Awareness Month/EDIT in Postcards 4

You all know where I volunteer. Why? My father died of mouth cancer, my mother had many cancers starting with colon cancer in 1948. My mother’s father had cancer and my father’s mother had breast cancer. My special friend, Jo, had breast cancer as did a long time roommate Janey as well as other friends too.

Wednesday I am the book-person, and Fridays I am a sorter. The goal is not to bring home armloads of things every day I go in. Confession is good for the soul tho, and I must tell you that I brought home a complete book of Robert Frost’s poetry yesterday. I’m not feeling a bit guilty either.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Stop in to your nearest American Cancer Society Discovery Shop. Ask us how you can save 25% on all you purchases for the next 30 days and support Breast Cancer Research. We have one full time employee, and we are supposed to have one part time employee…who is now on sabbatical. She is doing all the hard work. Volunteers do everything else, and we are short of volunteers.

• Himself: Vacations and attrition have cut the staff where he works. Right now he is at his computer from seven to seven….with lunch and dinner squeezed in there somewhere.
• Herself: My short term memory has gotten vastly worse since that incident on Sunday. I was wonderfully improved yesterday but find myself faded today.
• 52 Week House Reorganization: I am on week 28: Organize the Master Bedroom Closet. Since I’ve been discarding things for months, this should be a semi easy job. / got rid of 8 more shirts, 2 bathing suit cover ups, and 4 paiir of pants. About 8 hats too.
• Reading: Archer Mayor’s “Gatekeeper.”
• Gratitudes: That I am here to type this.
