I'm not dead...

...technically speaking. I just haven't bothered to post anything. I have a pile of ideas for entries, tho. I keep getting this site meter thing saying loyal friends keep stopping by only to be disappointed. Sorry. I have a slew of pics to post. I'll be back. Promise.

And I have to add that is just sucks to come here & see Dad's obituary. That itself is motivation to post...post...pictures & everything that's happened since the end of June.

Here's an actual blurb: this past Saturday I walked in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk. I raised $1,115.00 which I think is pretty good considering I didn't push real hard for donations. I went alone. It was my time at last. I have been so busy being strong for everybody else & taking care of everyone else, I hadn't yet cried since Dad died. Nobody looked at me strangely walking around bawling my eyes out. It was good. But a nasty effect on my body. I made myself physically sick & spent much of the weekend in the bathroom. Blech. Now I need to contact all the wonderful people who supported me.

And now I learn that a good friend's husband has passed away. 2006 has been THE shittiest year. I can't wait for 2007. But I do NOT dare say that it couldn't possibly be worse. The big guy upstairs has a twisted sense of humor sometimes.

This is me bringing in a dock up at camp...had to push it around with a pole & steer it onto the railroad car that pulled it out of the water. A brilliant contraption & with no wind was actually pretty easy.
