Busy Bee

Goodness...the last two weeks felt extra busy for me even though there wasn't too much "extra" in those days. This week in particular I only worked out twice because of weather and increased pain in my foot, literally. Have to get past the injury since I only have about 70 days left to reach goal. Start PT in the week after next so that should help. I'm a bit worried about that since it's going to cost me $60 a week for six weeks. You do the math. That's almost $400 bucks that could go towards the fundraising component of the race since I'll be responsible for anything less than the fundraising minimum of $1,100. I am so happy to have those who took the time to donate. With that I must say that I am also a bit disappointed that others couldn't even spare $20 bucks. I know I don't know other people's circumstances but I guess from one of my perspectives, I'm underemployed with very little income coming in and I was still able to contribute that amount. I just don't know. Makes me wonder but then again, I don't want to make time to think about it.

While trying to accomplish this goal will cost me almost one thousand dollars (PT plus the $600 not raised) it's worth it. I'm where I'm supposed to be. My mother's cancer is back. We won't know more about course of treatment until one more test comes back. Makes me think about what will happen if I ever get diagnosed. I hope that never happens but in all likelihood it just might since it seems my body is now working against me for not having given birth to children. The type of cancers I'm prone to have a higher incidence in women who have never been pregnant. I sometimes feel mad about that since it feels like a punishment for being so unacceptable to a mate. But then again I shouldn't think that way but every now and then I do....can't help it. I'm human with feelings. Anyway, I should bring it back to the positive. My mother has great medical insurance so that helps. Let's hope for the best. OK. I better go. Haven't been food shopping in several weeks. Today will be a backbreaker day since I'll be restocking. Nothing like going to Costco and then hauling everything up three flights of stairs. At least I can afford food. Very good thing. For some crazy reason I still think I will be in Paris this Christmas. Not sure how I will make that happen but it's been in my brain for the past three months. I know many go during the spring but I don't have a problem with going in the off season. It's still an adventure. OK....really better go. So much more to share but no time. Later.

Happy June!

I'm on the way out the door as usual but just a quick blurb. It's June...half the year down...another six months of adventure to go. LOL. Was totally exhausted and busy the past few days between workouts and going out. Applied for a few positions that I think would be a good fit. More stuff is opening up now which is good. I suspect its because alot of nonprofits see that when you slice and dice there is only so much the staff in place can do. Oh...before I forget, the actor that I was in the elevator with the other day is in the John Travolta, Denzel Washington movie coming out this month...Pelham 123. I think his last name is Tutturo. Still haven't looked him up but he was nice. Seemed like a down to earth type of guy.

Anyway better get going. Looks like rain outside. Have my doctors appt and then hair appt. I think I'm going to cut my hair again. Still haven't decided. Have a couple of hours to figure it out. Oh...and at work, it's like I'm a rock star or something. Crazy...I've been trying to fly under the radar but turns out they all seem to like me there. I'll still try to hang back, work, and not get tied up in office politics. Tell you more about this latest freelance experience. Out of all of the freelance positions I enjoy this one the most. Learning so much good! OK better go. Later.
