I'm fairly proud of myself today. As of this moring, I have:
- saved 9799.3 sp ft of Rainforest and 1135.5 sp ft of Marine Wetlands
- swum 3.53 km to save our oceans
- supported 99.6 acres of tiger territory, 30.7 acres of Jaguar territory, and 30.9 acres of Snow leopard territory
- fed 233 pieces of fruit to hungry primates
- supported needy children for 122 days (that's helping one child a day)
- supported 133 needy pets
- sent 366 letters against violence against women
- and taken 3000 steps to reach the Sumit of Mt Shasta for breast cancer. (Actually, I reached the summit a long time ago, but I'm still walking ...)
That's an awful lot of work to shove into about 2 - 3 minutes of my morning. If anybody would like to join my team for any of this, or if you'd like to try it out on your own, please write to me and I'll send you the info.
So, my Yule dinner is turning into a larger event than I expected. Aheh. Turns out that my parents are going to make it out and they've asked if they can invite my aunt and uncle over too. I'm going to run out of table space! I'm tryng not to panick just yet though ... nothing has been confirmed with aunt and uncle yet. So far, only three people have responded to my invites and only two of them are coming. So it's still a pretty private affair. We'll see.
My fanfic should be coming to a conclusion soon. And then I can move on to another story or two. I have my original to touch up and add to. I have my D&D based original to get typed out and published. I'm also considering getting my Eberron based Tale For the Finders published with some more story around it. And it's been requested that I start a new fanfic for Beyblade this time.
My thanks to Star for lending me some important DVD's for researching my current story. What a dish, what a doll. Pity you don't have time to read the story itself - you're one of the few people (out of my friends) who would appreciate it.Hmmm ... maybe you should put in a link or create your own space to encourage your customers/fans to write or draw with the incentive/reward of having them "published".
Jill has come to visit again ... stronger and more vibrant than ever. She hasn't been like this in years! Must be the new pills. O.o!! Not sure if this is a good thing or not. We'll wait and see.
I went out and bought new cards for Yule ... but once again, I've missed the deadline for my overseas/out fo the country mailings. *sigh* Every year, I get a little closer ... maybe next year I'll be more oragnised about it. Especially if I have the winter off again.
I've thought a bit more of going to Fairview for more training in my chosen career. I wish I didn't always have to leave town to do it though. This time it would be for a whole year. Could I manage that? Three months in algary almost gave me a nervous breakdown. 'Course there were vastly different circumstances then ... but still ... I don't like being seperated from my loved ones. I'll have to give it a bit more research - like what the accomadations will be like and what the schedule is expected to be. I already know that it will cost a pretty penny ... but I've never been turned down for a student loan. And if I can find out the requirements for getting a grant to start a new business, then I can write the expenses all off in next year's taxes. Okay, most of the expenses. We'll see. that'll be Jade's share of the research. ;) He hasn't said yet how he really feels about the whole idea. I think he was hoping that I could take a course or a learning work experience while living here at home. But there's really nothing here ... anything having to do with animals is in Olds or farther south. You can't even take vet training in Alberta ... You have to go to Saskatchewan, or maybe BC.
We'll see. It's not going to happen tomorrow, whatever it is that I decide to do.
Sweet Dreams!
