camwynI'm awake. Mountain Dew has started making 'black cherry' flavor Kickstart (it's like regular Mountain Dew, with 80 calories and 92 mg caffeine per can, and it apparently has juice in it somewhere). Girl Scout cookie orders have arrived. And last night's overnight processes, which had been going wrong for two days, have finally gone right.
I think I can deal with being awake, for once.
This Saturday I'm going to be participating in the American Lung Association's Fight For Air climb, which is a forty-floor stair climb up One Boston Place. Not as huge as the Climb to the Top, but it has the advantage of happening in Boston, as opposed to at the other end of a five-hour bus ride. And while MS took my grandmother, it's not as if I don't have a personal stake in lung disease issues: my nephew has asthma, my great-grandfather (the one who successfully defended himself against charges of high treason against the crown of England) died of work-acquired lung disease, and I was in the 9/11 dust cloud for the first two days. Plus my literacy tutoring student has an ongoing case of COPD, so that brings it home too... anyway, if anyone's interested in kicking a few bucks in the direction of lung disease research, treatment, and advocacy, my personal page is here, and if you can't donate or don't want to, then I will be more than happy to accept boggled looks at the thought of climbing forty floors' worth of stairs instead, because I get a kick out of that.
Thanks for your patience, all.
