Might as well keep this update thing going...

**edit** This was from yesterday but the blogger site was down when I tried to post it.

And I am trying my BEST not to do stupid housework today! So I am spending my day reading and gathering music for my show tonight.

Still bummed by the news of Kim Taylor's passing yesterday. Then when I read it in the paper today, I noticed that the announcement of another person I knew of was placed right below it. You know your getting old when.... {yes I check the deaths before the employment section...how pathetic}

But getting back to Kim. I had mentioned in my post about the benefit concert held for her last Thursday, I never knew this woman. She was 10 years younger than I and our paths never crossed, until I heard of the stories of her life from her friends and relatives. {how odd, one of the supervisors in my department was her cousin by marriage as was one of my favourite 'lunch-ladies' in our cafeteria at work}

I knew of her, she had never heard of me. But I knew a bit of what she was going through as I used to ask my Mom what the chemo felt like and how if effected your body physically and mentally. She told me it felt like being hit by a car, {I can remember that feeling somewhat} to the power of a thousand and then add in extreme fatigue...Similar to the feeling of when you go many nights without sleep. I am not a fan of pain, nor have I ever been that sick in my life before, so I didn't really understand, but I tried.

So today I had time to view a video a friend made last week at the concert of Chris Koster's set. He mentioned Kim quite a few times. Which made by bottom lip rumble..Then the gentle tones of the piano solo to commence the song 'Secrets of the Lonely' ... Then hearing Chris say simply "To Kim" .... and I started bawling.

The sun is trying to come out now and that tells me I better get out and enjoy some of it as it doesn't sound like a great weekend, weatherwise.

I have to record a Public Service Announcement tonight to run at CJAI. It is for a Breast Cancer Awareness Walk that takes place in my little village on October 1st. Hopefully I will do it on the first take and not get all choked up. Keep your fingers crossed.

P.S. I haven't taken many pictures this week, as my camera sucks...but I did take this one on the 401 yesterday morning at 630am...thought it was kind of neat:
