Don’t forget

Monday is the last day for the fund raising at The Twinkies. All you have to do is head over there and either click on the ad or place an order with Amazon through her referral link and Stacie will donate the March earnings to the Lennox and Zoë Simpson Memorial Fund to benefit [...]

Is ignorance really bliss?

Crap.  
So, once again, I called Zoë’s doctor to see if the autopsy report was ready. After all, three weeks ago, he told me it would probably be ready in two weeks. But then it was “spring break” as Nurse T put it and lots of the doctors were on vacation.

Tired

I’m just so tired.  These ups and downs wear me out.  I get car sick and swinging back and forth on this emotional pendulum is killing me.
I wish every happy moment I manage to find didn’t have to be tinged grey by the fact that I can’t stop thinking about what could have been.

Fundraising friends

Housecleaning

I’m feeling the need for some housecleaning around here.  I’ve removed the blogroll temporarily while I get it updated and rearranged.  There are blogs that, sadly, are no more, and others that should be moved to new categories.
There are also lots of new blogs that should be added. If you would like me to add yours to my list, please leave a comment with the [...]
