Talk about hitting the ground running!
Two Fridays ago, while still at Sarah's home in Raleigh, I started catching up on email and really haven't slowed down. Except for a surprise invitation to a birthday party on Friday night, Divine Liturgy on Sunday, and my daily power walks, I worked all of last week, the entire weekend, and this past week, too. So today is my holiday day.
My duties are The Herald-News are being shifted slightly, so I will be writing less feature covers, but more features, possibly, for the news side. I'll also start video training next week, but more on the reason for that later.
If you read only one story in the short list below, I suggest the piece on the living kidney donors. I've written several stories (links in the story) on a Joliet man who needs a kidney and shared the donation process by telling the stories of three people who did. One story is especially unique because one young man has gone through it all: he donated at age 21, went into kidney failure, received a transplant, and then had the kidney removed due to reject.
So now that I have some time off, what will I be doing? Today, it's fiction and a movie the kids want to see. If possible, I'll be visiting a friend in hospice either today or tomorrow and shooting video for an especially heartbreaking story I'm working on. I'm going out to dinner tomorrow night. Divine Liturgy on Sunday out to dinner in the afternoon, and then work.
And here's the non-bylined work: the health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars. Three of them can be found at the link below. http://www.theherald-news.com/lifestyle/ Gotta Do It, runs each Sunday and often stays on the home page throughout the week.
Feature briefs for Tuesday (health), Thursday (faith), Friday (Arts and Entertainment), and Sunday (People) are also edited (texted and photos) by the lady of this blog, but only the stories have bylines.
Another option: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61.
And if you do peek at these stories, to quote our editor Kate Schott, "Thank you for reading The Herald-News." :)
Okay! Now for the stories. :)

Three living kidney donors share their experiences

issues in his hands," Martin Peto said. "As a man, I'm used to being
proactive and not reactive, which is silly because it's the Lord controlling
everything. It's a huge, life-changing experience, especially when you're
facing a type of treatment you need to stay alive."
