So, I’m back.

I was moblogging every day while gone, but durnit, something is all wrong. Kinda stinks that it hasn’t been working for these past few days, and yet I was chosen as the current Editor’s Pick on Textamerica. Eek!

I’m suspecting something is not jiving between cingular and textamerica. Blah.

More on the vacation tomorow. As they say, I need a vacation from my vacation. G’nite!

Update 21 Jun 03: I’ve tallied everything up. $609 as of midnight. Way to go, everyone! I walk tomorrow morning, so I best get to sleep.

Update 19 Jun 03: $514!! GOAAAAAL!!

Wow! Most of it in two days only, no less! Let’s not stop there!

I am up to $104 $239 $329 $449 $514(!)(with $419 of that from bloggers!) for my Angel Adventure donations for the National Brain Tumor Foundation, in honor of Joe. If you haven’t done so already, donate, donate, donate! If you already have, THANK YOU! I love you guys.

YES, this is tax deductible. If any of you need a receipt for tax purposes, let me know, and I can send one to you!

This afternoon, I went to go visit Joe at the hospital. I hadn’t seen him for about a week, which is longest I’ve gone without seeing him since learning about his brain tumor. I’m glad I drove up to The City today to see him. Today was a good day.

He was bright, alert, and cheery. Huge difference from last week, when he was reeling in pain in his chest from developing pneumonia, and he could barely move. He was talkative, and his eyes glowed.

I had one of the happiest moments that I’ve had in a long time today. Joe had a physical therapy session today (his brain tumor has caused him to have partial paralysis in the left side of his body), and he was able to sit up and support himself quite well. He got up and walked, with lots of strength! The happy moment came when he was on his way back to his room from the gym, he was still walking with lots of strength (believe me, this is an amazing accomplishment in comparison to last week), and I said, “Hey!” to him, with a big smile. What I got in return was a huge beaming grin and a “Hey!” in return as he walked towards me. It felt awesome… the highlight of my week.

Here’s where I get to the “help a sister out” part of this blog entry:

I will be participating in the Bay Area Angel Adventure for the National Brain Tumor Foundation on 21 June, 2003. What is the Angel Adventure? It is a 5k walk along the San Francisco waterfront to raise funds to support brain tumor research. Click below to donate… no minimum!

You can also snail mail donations if you desire.(unless you live in CA, don’t snail mail me donations, since I’d probably receive it too late)

I am trying to raise at least $500 for the event. I would be ecstatic if I could raise more in Joe’s name! Brother, could you spare a dime? Or a few? I would really appreciate it as well if you can help spread the word with a link or two on your own blogs/sites. Feel free to swipe above button and link to this entry.

Thank you so much in advance. Let’s show ‘em!

(COMMENTING CLOSED ON THIS ENTRY. Please contact me if you would like to donate to the Joe Ferguson Foundation)

I’ve been pondering my existence.

My blog existence, that is.

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?

Umm, I must be totally outta the loop.

In April, I was featured in a Honolulu Advertiser news story about Geocaching, and I’m just finding out about it. Go on, take a look. I’ll wait.

I haven’t been caching in a long time, and I miss it. It was something that I did to fill my dead time when we moved back to California. Now that I’m in school and doing a bit more work, I haven’t done a lot. Consider this a promise to myself to get back into it.

As a matter of fact, I had two cache pages printed out, sitting in my car, so I could go drop off this travel bug that I’ve had for way too long. eek!
