Ahh, Saturday

Today is my first day off in 13 days .... I'm tuckered, but didn't get to sleep in. It was the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, so up early, and out at Tempe Beach Park for a 3 mile walk with thousands of other people as well. My store is a sponsor, along with other local companies and radio stations. I posted a bunch of pictures here if you want to take a look. I've tried to look online to see how many folks actually attend our local event, but it seems a bit hard to track the numbers, given the openness of the park.

Team Walmart has raised $93,712 (not sure if that's the local number, or national number) and I'm proud to work for a company that supports causes such as this. "The Making Strides event is not a race; it is a celebration of survivorship, an occasion to express hope, and a shared goal to end a disease that threatens the lives of so many people we love. When you raise funds for a Making Strides event, you're helping create a world with less breast cancer and more birthdays."

I have to admit, I came home, got a few chores done, then tumbled into bed for a nap -- which lasted two hours! Obviously, I needed the rest. And now?? I feel a few overused muscles letting me know I did something different today! But I'm getting things done around the house that have been set aside while I'm in the middle of this work "debacle". *laughs*

Tired, happy HUGS to everyone!
