Looking for just a little more help

Hi gang

Tomorrow I'm going to hobble with my blind brother to help raise money for the NH Association for the Blind.  I'm a little shy of my goal and I'm hoping a few of you kind souls out there can squeak out even a small donation.  If you can you will have my eternal gratitude and undying love.  I know, most of you have the latter already, but you can never have enough undying love, right?  ;-)

If you need that address again, it's here: http://nhab10walk.kintera.org/rickpierce

If you can only afford words of encouragement I'll take those too.  I love friendly words of encouragement.  if you've already donated, you know who you are, thank you so much.

Memorial Day weekend - Very nice.  Monique and I mostly just stayed at home and didn't do much.  Slept in all 3 days.  She worked on work stuff a fair amount of the weekend, but she really likes her work and weekends is where she tends to do the, "Wouldn't it be cool if I had time to play around with <x>" type stuff instead of focusing completely on the daily needs.  I spent the time working primarily on 7V stuff, but that's ok as I enjoy that.

Monday we met gianajho  and klee39  for lunch at the Olive Garden in Mancheter CT and talked for a couple of hours.  That was absolutely delightful.  I wish I could meet with friends like that more often.  Gianajho showed me the book she's working on for me.  It was wonderful and I can't wait to see the finished book. 

The week at work has been both too short and too long.  I am overwhelmed by the amount I have to do and thus the reason my updating has been sparse.

I saw my Rolfer again yesterday for the first time in a couple of months.  I sadly missed my session with her last month.  She has been doing far more for my ankle problem than any of the "real" doctors.  Of course to get squeezed in I had to miss one of my weekly meetings here at work.  I was absolutely heart broken over that (*right*).  I have to move to better orthotics.  If that still doesn't help (in addition to the exercises she's given me) then I'll probably have to move to a pediatrist and maybe custom shoes.

We're going up to NH for the weekend to visit parents, walk with the brother for NHAB and go to his bardic and oh shit, I just realized I forgot my flute.  Darn it.  Oh well, I'll just have to sing or something instead.
