After a lot of tears, a great deal of good advice and comforting from my friends here, as well as some pillow pounding that scared Hecaté, I know that it's time to grow up and act like an adult instead of like a scared little girl. Mostly, I've gotten tired of hearing myself whine, so it's time to break out the cheese!
So... with apologies to Gloria Gaynor...
At first I was afra...

Well hello there folks...
It's scaredrabbit here who is seriously thinking of changing her name to BRAVE RABBIT. Yup, I've volunteered to be a spokes person for Hepatitis Awareness Day on May 19th. I have been telling everybody about my treatment and my illness...that's why I titled this entry Blab blab blab. I don't know what has come over me...I can't stop telling people.

Today, it felt good to go outside and get something done other than just sitting around thinking and wishing what happened hadn't happened. You'd think I would have gotten it by now that you can't wish people you love back once they've left this earth. And all the thinking and all the tears in the world are not making it happen either. But if...1 Recommendation6 Comments -
Well!!! Finally!!! I did it!!! I kinda' didn't have a choice.
I was mowing the yard today after not being able to get to it for 3 weeks now because of all the rain we've been having lately. Whoa, it was high! By the time I got done on the mower the yard looked like it had many little bales of 'hay' all over the yard. Then it was time fo...1 Recommendation6 Comments -
As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess! I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok. When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...4 Recommendations23 Comments

Things around here seemed to be on the upswing for the past few days and now, of course, I'm feeling my legs getting wobbly again, like I'm losing my footing which I really don't want to do. I've felt like this so many times over the past 9 months but the difference this time is - I'm tired, so tired of feeling like this. This time I know I need to ...1 Recommendation6 Comments -
I would so much like to be able to turn the page of my life to a new chapter where it doesn't hurt so much. These past few days have been so filled with memories of Dean, the kind that tug at my heart so intensely. I can't erase them, they're always there, so real in my thoughts constantly, everyday. I guess that's because I'm missing him so very ...1 Recommendation6 Comments -
The last 10 days were simply magical for me. I spend it with my boyfriend. Now most of you would think why would it be magical with my boyfriend? The fact is : He lives in the UK and I live in South Africa.
We have been chatting via MSN since last year and on the 1st night we spoke on MSN, we hit it off. But now the last 10 days we were physically together. He came out to RSA to see me.

My boyfriend and I are still together and didn't go our separate ways once he was back home in the UK ( not as if it did seem that way). In fact, he has brought me a ticket to see him next month. Yes that is right, I will be with him next month in the UK. I will be staying there for 2 months, so far.
It seems we are getting closer and closer to been together.
These weeks are dragging by, but&n...1 Recommendation5 Comments
