September 23

For the past two weeks I have been seeing a chiropractor, trying to straighten out my spine.  20 plus years of carrying a book bag and then a gym bag over my right shoulder every day has really taken it's toll on my alignment.  So far it's just little stuff; neck & back adjustments.  My neck is extremely uncomfortable and I'm hoping this will go away soon.  On a more positive note, I'm almost done hanging up the wallpaper border in my bedroom, I think it looks great.  My father invited me out to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving, I've only been one time before.  It was actually a lot of fun.  I hate to miss Thanksgiving with my family, but there's always Christmas.

September 3

Labor Day.  A day for lazy people to take the day off, nurse their hangovers, sleep until noon and celebrate how hardworking our society has become.  Don't want to sound like I'm complaining or anything; I love sleeping until 8:00 a.m. on a Monday.  I joined my boss for a 5 k walk for charity Saturday morning, "Out of Darkness"  It's an organization that fights sexual predators & human trafficking here in the U.S.  You would be surprised how many women  & even small children are victims.  I got up at 4:00 in the morning to meet her since it was way across town.  I didn't raise that much money, but I think she did, so it was all worth while.  This fall I will be participating in the 5 k walk for AIDS research, like I do every October, I suppose I need to start doing some fundraising for that.  I've never been very good at asking people for donations, I would honestly rather just write a check myself.
