Laziness Is Actually Diminishing!

June 30, 2008   Filed Under: Babysitting, Sweet Thang, Volunteer   278 words

I’m kind of glad that I’ve been doing somethings other than nothing lately. I’ve been working on my friends’ website making updates and adding their new inventory, tweaking the layout and helping them advertise it. I’ve also been working on my Feats in PackRat and helping my sisters and some newfound co-op friends via the discussion board with accomplishing their feats. I’ve been brainstorming ideas for this website and I’ve also been working on a schedule so that when I actually do call the lady about volunteering I’ll know exactly when I can do it.

Tomorrow evening I have a babysitting job and in the morning I take my sister to school and then will probably take a nap afterwards so that I’ll have energy (it’s two ADHD kids). The Win A Domain contest ends today, though, and the few hours that I have tomorrow between napping and leaving for work will be spent putting up the final few buttons that I’ve received over the past week or so and actually picking a winner. It will be a hard decision.

There are many people who really wanted to win and I wish I had the means of giving everybody a domain, but it just isn’t so. It’s going to be a kind of daunting task because I have to go through the submissions and make sure the sites qualify for the contest. I looked through a few already and noticed rules not being followed, etc. and there were only like 2 or 3 rules…so I’m not going to cut anybody any slack because the contest was easy enough as it is.

Must I Be So Lazy?

June 27, 2008   Filed Under: Life, Volunteer   135 words

So I didn’t call the lady about volunteering last week Monday. I didn’t do it this week Monday, either. I guess maybe next week Monday I’ll get around to doing it…I won’t be babysitting since the little girl I’ve been watching is going on a little trip. I really hope I’ll work up the nerve to do it because I can’t just sit here wasting away.

Well, I haven’t just been wasting away but life seems pretty pointless when there isn’t much to do. I’ve realized this before but I haven’t really had the opportunity to have nothing to do for a really long time so now I’m really feeling the burn.

Anyways, I have to go eat something because I’m starving. And the reason I’m starving is because I’m a woman…go figure…

Chemistry Is Done!

I’m so glad that my Chemistry class is finally done! Now I’ll be school-free and bored out of my wits for nearly two months. I don’t know what I’ll do for sure since I’m so bad at sticking to plans that I’ve set…but one thing for sure is that I’ll drive myself crazy.

So far PackRat has been consuming most of my time. I just finished the Quest of Montezuma feat and now I’m working on the Ancient Realms. I’ve already done the three that are about to expire. I tend to do the packs with the least amount of cards to mix and then work my way up…it gets really expensive though and I’m getting a little tired of scrounging for credits.

I think I wrote about deciding to start volunteering again. I don’t really remember…but I need to try and remember to call the lady on Monday so I can get started. I’m going to be volunteering for VITAS Hospice, visiting terminally ill patients either in the hospital, nursing home, a hospice, or their own home. They set you up with patients based on your schedule and how often you can visit them…some people want to be visited every day and some people just want someone to visit when their family isn’t home, etc. I used to volunteer there before but since I wasn’t 15 yet I was limited to working in the office. Seems so long ago, LOL…
