Party like it's 1999...

 Baby Bro's birthday is Thursday, so I'll be picking him up to spend the weekend. Friday, I am hoping we can attend the Indiana State Massage Championships that are being held right here in little ole Wabash!  Totally stoked by that.  I've never been, so I'm really looking forward to the experience.  Afterwards, we can come home and make his birthday cake.  Saturday is when the fam will be getting together.  024/025(almost!) is going to share birthday parties with BB, so I will need to find something non-cheese based due to milk allergies.  Pizza is kinda the go-to.

Old Business:

• Not sure why I'm struggling to get back to reading Hands Heal, P4S, and Trail Guide.
• Have been able to be out in the garage a couple of weekends now, and have started the Hoosier cabinet project I concocted for myself.  That has been fun!
• I am almost done with Perfect Union.  I joined Goodreads for 024 and Storybook for 022, and so it has been fun to update progress.
• I take the NCB test next Monday, YIKES!  I have not been studying at all.  We'll see..
• Magazines are still at a good pace too.
• Mending pile - still 1 pair of sleep pants, and also I now have a pair of pants that need a patch in the knee thanks to a tumble I took in downtown Indy.  That was embarrassing!
• Still loving and enjoying Garven.  Had the sunroof open yesterday, OMG!! At the end of the month I go down to Big Bro and Sis house to change oil and do some other maintenance on him.
• Memorabilia has all been put away, and have stayed pretty up on just doing it when it is in my hand.
• Slowing down at work is in process. I have mixed feelings about it.  I really need to find 2-3 new therapists to help out. Have done some cleaning, then hit a couple of bad weeks, but hoping to get back on track today. Wrists are doing better, but I still brace them for each session. Fingers are starting to heal finally.
• I did reach back out to the candidate, and she never called/texted back, so I guess that is a no-go.
• Cardiologist - wore a Holter for 7 days, did not show anything conclusive.  Did a Tilt Table Test, and again, nothing conclusive.  So it's probably back to the drawing board.  I need to call the nurse today and find out.
• Have set some scrapping goals - 2 pages a month. Didn't do so hot in February. However, I have picked out pictures, and now I need to do sketch and papers.

New Business:

• Continue scrapping
• Continue working on hutch
• Pick up sticks in the yard (and by sticks, I mean branches and limbs that fell down in all the wind this winter!)
• Post therapist jobs on FB and at IWC job board.
• Fill out application to run for AMTA chapter president (I can't believe I just wrote that, but, what the heck! LOL) 

Don't Stop Believing

Hum, that is a hard one sometimes!  Working on the business plan was a bit of an eye opening experience.  I am a bit nervous, but I'm really hoping and praying tha I can make it work.

I worked on pictures yesterday, getting 014's birthday set done.  It should be up on Flickr soon.

Tuesday we had (yet another) funeral service so I worked in the AM to help prepare for it.  In addition to the normal Monday/Wednesday.  I don't mind though.  She was a sweet lady and had been there for a very long time.  She had a big, loving heart.

This is the second week I've had to mow the yard with a scarf on because it is so cold.  What is going on!?!?!?  Hopefully the warm comes back soon, I need to start cleaning out the flowerbeds and getting things looking tidy again.

This weekend I am hoping to get some reading done, and also to work on the Hooligan's pictures.  That would help me feel a little more accomplished.  I would love to also finish 011's book and start 014's but I'm not taking that with me.  And I'd like to get some new soap made.  Soon, I hope.  So much to do, so little time.

The organizing at church has gone very well.  I've found a good room to use as an archives, that has store-like shelves in it that I've been moving a few boxes and older equipment to.  I can't really make the call as to keep it or not, but we don't really need 3 cassette players down in the working part of the church, you know what I mean??!  Most of the drawers have been labeled, file folders labeled, and organized into hanging folders, and those labeled too.  Just a few left with Growing Grounds and board meeting minutes.  It feels good.

Well, I gotta run to breakfast, so I'll check in with you again soon!
