Yesterday, played hookie fro work, with the approval of my supervisor, and instead I participated with the company I work for, in the Relay for Life: American Cancer Societyy event in Rutland, Vermont. I ran on 4 hours of sleep and I was there for 11.5 hours; I walked 5 laps around the track with cancer survivors and gave 9.5 hours worth of chair massages. Racked in a lot of tips, which I gave back to the Relay for life. It was a big turn out. Before I left after 11pm, the announcer proclaimed we made over $183,150 and still climbing. I was told their goal this year was $165,000. I would not be surprised if the event earned $200,000 or more. I wanted to stay longer and walk a few laps but, I was starting to become tired and needed to return home to give our ferrets water. The soles of my feet hurt like heck too (no surprise).

I had a great time there. I also won two raffles and was ecstatic when I was asked to give massages there next year. I cannot wait to return next year.

Unfortunately, I acquired a cold with a sore throat from my check up with my doctor on Friday morning. Daytime Dayquil and drinking tea have been helping. My sore throat makes it hard for me to talk and my chronic sinusitis and the tingling/ringing in my ears doesn't help either. I cannot wait for both my cold and my tinnitus to go away. I barely have a voice left. I'm glad I have Sundays off. Hopefully tomorrow my voice will be okay for work.

Meanwhile, the antics of our ferrets are amusing. They are cute girls and are always up to mischief.
