02:33 pm: Almost at the $6.5k mark! Woo! (But I am still having nightmares.)
Agh, last night I had one of my nightmares where my teeth start randomly falling out. I lost a canine that looked like it had been dunked in battery acid. AGH!!!

So, this morning I thought I should update the thermometer. Yes, it's been awhile, and I apologize. Flu, turning 23, getting engaged, these things have a way of steam-rolling over the rest of your life. But I'm back! And imagine my delight to find we've raised $6,405.13 USD! Holy cow. We might actually make it near $10,000. I honestly did not think such a thing was humanly possible. I am so deeply and truly touched. If I could get that much, I think I could swing it. It's a two-year process. I could get enough for the braces. Provided they don't want to do any grafts or upper jaw widening, it could happen, it could really happen.

I am touched. Best birthday gift a gal could get, knowing so many people care.

05:38 pm: Sadie is alive!


That's my friend Cate on Sadie, last summer. I don't have a more recent photo of my motorcycle. Anyway, you may remember that I had to abstain from college when Sadie went kaputzies on me. Later in the winter, Mom handed me the old station wagon, Ruby, who's been getting me around while I worked on Sadie. After replacing a throttle grip and doing some general tooling about and battery recharging, Sadie is running again.

I'm about to take her out for a victory lap on this beautiful day. So, if you have Driving with My Darling by And One or a special song that makes you think of happily motoring about, we'd be honored if you'd play it!
