PCOS

I have it, previously mentioned, and now I am starting meds as well as DEFINITELY having to lose weight, a friend and I are taking immediate steps, like tomorrow, to do so, and I have walked twice this week, meaning walking for its own sake and no other reason, yesterday 3 laps and today 2. Whoo hoo. Maybe some day I will actually fit into those few items I treasured enough to keep for 'someday'. Wish me luck.

Special Olympics

Last Friday, that is to say the Friday before the most recent Friday, my great Friend Theresa and I volunteered to interpret the Opening Ceremonies for the Special Olympics NC MidSummer Tournament. It was such a wonderful experience in many ways.

Professionally, it was wonderful because they actually had us set up in the proper way, with the seating in the right spot for the 'off' interpreter. One of us would interpret (on stage) while the other sat behind the speakers ready to jump in when time was up, and ready to help the other out if something was needed. Also, it was just so wonderful to be in a such a POSITIVE environment. Seeing all those happy and determined faces really makes you put things in perspective. It was such a high and we both hope to be able to work with the Special Olympics again. Yay! Theresa told me I was grinning like an idiot when it was over. I was!
