BREAKING NEWS: NYC GRINDS TO A HALT, DEBBIE COURAGEOUSLY STAYS HOME
The transit strike is going on but I couldn't tell you much. I'm at home eating the banana bread I baked last night and goofing around in my sweatpants. To my credit, I've made myself available for work- that is, my cell phone is on and I'm checking email periodically. I love this. But today, Dr. Phil made me cry. Since Christmas is coming, he was featuring some real miracle stories. Like this girl with cystic fibrosis who was born the same day her dad died in horrible house fire. She wasn't suppose to live past the five year mark but somehow she did. And then when she was 20 and her health was rapidly deteriorating, she finally got a new set of lungs. Her old lungs were so damaged that if she hadn't had the transplant right then and there, she would have died within the week. AND while she was in the hospital, she met a young man with cystic fibrosis just like her and now they're getting married. Just thinking about it now brings tears to my eyes. I promise this blog won't turned into a blow-by-blow account of what I watched on daytime tv. But if this strike continues, what choice will I have?
