Rainy days

Waking up to the smell of rain, listening to it hit the windows, the cool air, all of this made me want to stay in bed this morning.  I dearly love mornings when you are able to just lay around, no need to be anywhere at any certain time and everyone else in the house feels the same way.  I have written before that I started this blog as a way to always remember.  Dementia, as many of you are aware, is my biggest fear.  So, if one day I am unable to remember what a rainy day felt like when I was 39.9 years old, maybe this little blog will be just the thing to bring a bit of it back to me.  On a brighter note

The billboard is already to go.  It is set to be up on the 18th of April, I believe the intersection is Sheridan and Glen in Peoria.  I was overwhelmed with the comments on Face book.  Some of them actually brought me to tears.  People that I haven't seen in a good many years messaged me, friends and family reposted to their own status.  I tried to thank everyone, but it just doesn't seem enough.  I hope that those of you who sent a kind word, or reposted know how much that meant to me.  This is all about awareness, and honestly I feel as though it has done just that and hasn't even went up yet.  I am still a little nervous about what it will look like up, but it really doesn't matter.  People are learning of this shit pot of a disease, and that is what it is all about. 

I have been thinking of doing some type of fund raiser, to support Team Bohlander.  I have organized benefits and rides before, but was thinking of something different.  If you have any ideas, please shoot them to me.  It can be something small, or something on a larger scale as well.  I had someone offer some space at the Marigold festival, just not sure what to do.  Motorcycle rides always seem to go over well, and I'm sure I have a few people out there that would help with that.  Again, I appreciate all the kind words, and will update this later.  I am addicted to the Twilight series, and today is the day to get caught up.

Today has been a great day.
