Today's Quote:
I am a part of all I have met. - Tennyson
I've been a bad girl.
I've been working so hard on one of my resolutions (and already getting results) that I've neglected the one resolution that I wanted to work on just as much. My writing. I haven't worked on finishing mystory - except in my head, and I haven't found the hour the Green Man told me to set aside for my writing exercise. It's the other kind of exercise that I've been getting sidetracked with. I have somthing going on five days a week. I have my lunches scheduled. Heck, I've got my housework scheduled!
Well, it's time to put my foot down. I'm going to schedule the wrting exercise. Twice a week, dammit! I had thought that this (my entries) was close, but it seems that it breaks a couple (or more) of the rules of the exercise. Which makes it pointless.
Using it as the exercise, not the writing here. What are you trying to say?
I've been looking at taking another course too. (Yay. More school.) I've written to NAIT about the Horsemanship course and asked them if the course couldn't be tailored. I can't go out of town, and leasing a horse and buying all the riding equip would be pointless and a severe waste of money. I don't need that for a boarding stable. I'll be boarding race horses. They are here to rest, not to be ridden. I need the business end of things. Guess I'm on my own for that, eh?
On the other hand, I've found another course that COULD definitely be very helpful. I'm going to try to go for my Small Business Certificate. I can take at least four of the courses online. It just means that I'll have to go back to work to help pay for it. That's no problem, I've been getting ready to go back to work anyway. Which also leads to Jade teasing me. I've been working on my weight program so much that he says I'll just get everything settled and really start getting into things when I'll have to upset it all again by going back to work. Which is so typical, that it's probably correct. I don't mind though. I can reschedule around work. And depening on the work I find, I will probably need less of it.
Meanwhile, it's already easier to slide into my jeans. Disaster averted. Gold star for me.
Got another e-mail today that asked me to sign an e-petition. Once again, I've replied that e-petitions are not valid to any government level. If you are truly concerned enough to sign a petition, then do it right. Put your autograph on a physical sheet of paper. Get others to go with it. Or get a group of people to mail in postcards or something. MAIL IT IN. If it's a worthy cause, then it's worth the cost of a stamp. Keep mailing them in until something happens. Just stop wasting your time asking me to waste mine.
Congratulations to Ellen and her husband on the new great grand twins that will soon be joining them! Good luck to the parents! They'll need it!
It is unfortunate that we must also send our condolences to Elohelae. It is a pity that Lolabean learned it's Lesson so quickly that it couldn't share more of it's time with you. I am fully aware of your pain as my own son, Campbell, was also a quick learner. (Damn good looking kid too.) I'm available if you need to chat to somebody when you are ready.
This writing thing ... it's amazing how many good ideas I have when I don't have a pen and paper handy. When I'm driving, when I'm falling asleep ... heck, some of my dreams are even good material!
We were watching the uncut version of the original Dune last night. I turned and asked Jade if he thought that MY sleeper had awakened yet. He told me that he didn't think it was quite awake yet, but it was trying. It's eyes have cracked open o blink sleepily a few times but it's not really aware of being awake yet. I'm guessing that this means I'm on the right track. Now I just have to wonder which track it is. LOL! What a pain it is to be a multitasker.
Well, I'd better get my but in gear and get afew more things done today. Like my aerobics ... althoug that may be put off because the in-laws have company and I want to make sure that they don't show off my part of the house. Just in case they forget to ask first.
Sweet Dreams!
