I made a woman's day today.

teinedreugan thought he heard the doorbell ring, and he had; there was a woman on the stoop, in the rain, her head bound up in a scarf that showed no sign of having hair under its edges.

She was doing a charity walk for cancer. While on chemo. (She said she'd probably only do a few miles of it, because the chemo has her exhausted.) She stood in our front hall while I flipped through the information she had about the variety of breast cancer she was being treated for, and then I pledged her $20 and wrote my name down on her piece of paper. (While thinking about the person on the Cauldron who was for a while too sick for chemo. So an offering for Chavi in that.)

She asked me for a hug, and I gave her one, and with the $20 she had met her goal for stumping and could go in out of the cold and dark and rain. I hope she doesn't catch a cold; that would be all she needs. (She was also thrilled that I was at one of the ALCS games last year, game 4, and said, 'Can I touch you? You're lucky!' This was because we were semi-watching the game at the time, so it had some context. (fairoriana, I looked for you when we had views of the dugout area, but I don't think I saw you.) )


Other mumblings: arawen and whispercricket came by for vicarious cattage. We wound up watching the Looney Tunes Movie and ordering Chinese food. It was good to see people, even if I was stoned on Sudafed and otherwise incoherent.

The leg is getting better, though I still feel joint-seating weirdness. Dealing with it carefully, stretching it occasionally. It will probably be, for the most part, under my pain tolerance threshhold soon enough that I can reinjure it accidentally. :/

Have sent the book to half my readers now. Twitch, twitch. (Need to get printer fixed, argh.)

teinedreugan, sstaten and I went through the Uldaman instance with our high Alliance characters. Were cranky to determine (belatedly) that most of the quests we had landed outside the instance, got them mostly done (except the powerstones drop quest, which is apparently one of the evil kind of drop quests).

Had half a thought about the situation with dreams of A, haven't gotten it quite coherent yet. Djet, though.
