Missed a blog yesterday, I worked a double. I was dead tired after I could barely move AND I was in a crabby mood. This morning was walking to have brunch with my friend and 5th grade teacher Jeanne Mulligan, and I saw an old man who works for the city shoveling the snow. I was walking towards him thinking, “I would hate that! I’m sure he’s been doing it most of the morning and maybe most of the night and nobody cares how hard he’s working and he’s probably in terrible mood...” just then the man looks up with the biggest grin and the most sincere “Good Morning how are you?”, “uh, I’m fine how are you?” “can’t complain” followed by a head nod and back to work. I see people like that and realize someone always has it worse than you and can be happy. So “Shut up Kelly and be happy you’re inside in the warmth serving people food.” This is why I need some therapy, some laughter therapy.
The Ricardos are getting ready to go to the movies with the Mertzes. Ricky has shaven, all but his upper lip and tells Lucy he’s growing a mustache. They argue about the mustache till Lucy pouts and decides to stay home and not go to the movie. Lucy plans to get back at Ricky by putting her own beard on. Ricky sees it and agrees to shave it off, when it comes time for Lucy to take hers off it wont come off. Fred got confused and didn’t use spirit gum on her, it was a glue that they can’t find the solvent for. Lucy gets news that a movie agent is coming over to meet with Ricky. Lucy is worried she is going to miss her “big chance” at hollywood success. When the agent comes over, Lucy dances into the living room with a vail over face to do a “exotic” dance. The agent likes her until, he has her take off her vail.
One of my favorite stories I have read about Lucille was when her and Ginger Rogers went on a double date with Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart. The girls put on their best dresses, make-up and jewelry and went out for a night of dancing and drinking. The four had a great time and wanted to make the night go longer. When the four were leaving the club to get some breakfast together, the boys saw the girls in the sunlight and decided to take a raincheck. After sweating from dancing, the girls make-up and run all over her face and looked really bad. Lucille Fonda, could’ve been interesting!

Yes, always someone worse...and then much worse. It is so easy to be negative; alarm goes off, "oh, it's too loud!", the shower water is cold, coffee is weak, etc....well, while sitting in cancer infusion rooms you begain to get a clearer picture and know that positivity is the ONLY way to go. Yes, there are people that the are singing "for he's a jolly good fellow," (if you hear that, you know he is OUT, set free, last treatment!) But then their is the newly diagnosis 22 year old boy. Or the really aged scrawny old man that is rolled up in a wheel chair by his care taker...and where is his family/friends? Life has been good to me! God has been good to me. Transplant~ see you on the OTHER SIDE! <3, T.
