Moving On

[wilderbutterfly]

I'm moving on with my life.  I have strep throat...ick!  And so I've missed most of two weeks of school, one for the death of Brittany, and one for this illness that knocked me flat.  I find myself glad that I'm only taking three classes, because with the death of Brit, I realize how fleeting our life is.   We always chastized her for smoking. Her death had nothing to do with cigarettes though....so in the end, she should have smoked three packs a day, to get all the pleasure she could out of them in her short life.  I'm moving forward now.  Life hasn't stopped, but sometimes I have a moment of Oh my God.  She's dead.  There was an episode about a handyman who died on Housewives last night....and he reminded me of Brit.  Brit made everything just a little bit brighter.  She made everything just a little bit cheesier.  And even when she was having trouble, she never brought people down. She asked for help and took a deep breath and then made a joke to make everything better.

In other news,I got everything set up for Team in Training.  I'm signed up to fight leukemia by running the marathon. I'm goign to keep a daily tally of mileage and how far I am toward my goal.  You can go to my website and donate to the cause! Every dollar helps!
