AWESOME News Today! :)

There is a special fundraiser going on for Spinal Muscular Atrophy called "Chapters-Voices of SMA." What they are doing is having a book published about families' experiences with SMA. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to research. The premise is for family members to write a chapter telling about how SMA has affected their lives. I wrote a chapter and sent it in and.............

I found out today that my chapter will be included in the book!!!!!!! 

I am so thrilled to be involved with this wonderful and amazing  project! I can't wait until the book comes out! Not just because I will be a "published author" so to speak, but because I know the stories from other people will be so good. Incredibly tragic, but good. 

Other than that awesomeness, today was not too bad of a day. My therapist was on vacation for two weeks so today was my first appointment since before Christmas. Luckily I survived the two weeks without her, haha! I didn't mind the appointment, but the drive back out of Burlington was LOUSY! It's a wonder I survived that! Not helpful for the anxiety, that's for sure! I wonder sometimes just what the hell is wrong with some people.......I mean, this was nothing compared to most storms and people were driving like they were in a blizzard! Even with all that over-caution I heard on the news there were a bunch of accidents. I wonder how many were caused by over-paranoid people instead of the usual excessive speed for road conditions? I thought I was back driving in Columbus, Ohio in the winter again! They can't handle storms down there, but this is VERMONT the last time I looked.....right? I just don't get it. I hate driving in bad weather but I don't take chances or do stupid things like brake in the middle of the road for no reason!!!! It was one of those times that I wanted to prostrate myself in my driveway and kiss the ground when I got home! *End Rant*
