Today was the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Family Walk in Albany. [livejournal.com profile] caitlindancer, me, my parents and my sister Debbie walked with two of her friends in it - I added 2 more miles to my Eowyn Challenge and a wonderful memory.

We walked in memory of my Aunt Susan, my mother's youngest sister, who lost her battle with breast cancer, and my father's mother, who also lost her battle. We walked for my mother's mother, who is still fighting her battle. And we walked for the Pumpkin, in the hopes that she will someday never again have to worry about losing someone she loves to this disease.

We raised over $600 for research. Next year, we're thinking about doing the Walk in Hartford instead, so we can have more family walk with us. My knee hurts now (forgot my brace, stupid, stupid!) but it's a good hurt - an ache more than anything. And it was amazing. There were so many people there!

Debbie and I are working our way up to the Avon Three-Day. Our next goal is a 5k walk.

Now, I'm going to go make another cup of tea (this is a civilized hotel room - free wifi, a tea (okay, it's a coffee maker) pot, a microwave and a refrigerator) and write. Mom's taking a nap in the other room and Dad and [livejournal.com profile] caitlindancer went to find out what Albany offers for bookstores.

Nikki bounded up the stairs to the upper floors, searching for the small box that she’d seen Lucia carrying in her vision.

ending line:
She watched him lift the load in his arms, enjoying the play of muscles along his shoulders, and privately admitted that sleeping with Jack wouldn’t be all that much of a hardship.

darling:
Could I take her down? Probably. Do I want to go toe-to-toe with a former StarChild who’s been practicing her defensive skills for more years than I’d like to think about? No. Not even for fun.
