THE BIG 2000 and start/stop

once you stop, it's hard to start again. the togetherness of my last post ("hey, i'm actually posting today's entry today!") flew out the window faster than... faster than... faster than something that flies out a window real fast.

alas, i have been taking notes on donations, ideas, thoughts for the past week+ that i've been m.i.a. from this blog. i just have not been inputting them into this blog.

but i felt a catchup (ketchup?) post was in order since i have... drumroll puh-lease... reached over $2000!!!

this actually happened yesterday, but again, see paragraph one and two.

so YAY!!!! i'm over $2000! and today i received another $100 donation at work, which brings my grand total to $2162.

i can't believe i'm less than $150 away from $2300. (and $2300 is the magic number: it's how much you must raise in order to participate in the walk.)

adam and i have been doing walks through the hills of griffith park and it's been a lot of fun. i love taking franklin and watching him explore, see horses (and have his mind blown), and it's challenging-- we push ourselves to go further each walk. but the one thing that i don't know how to deal with is the migraine that ensues after the walk.

is this normal? i don't get them when we do walks on the level streets, just when we're "hiking". it's a horrible migraine and i can sense it coming on even before we've finished the walk. i've tried drinking lots and lots of water during the walk, which did nothing, and i've tried drinking lots of electrolyte gatorade-y type water, which did nothing. i really don't know what to do about this, or what it means.

at any rate, i'll try to plug in some back entries later this week, but i just want to say THANK YOU!! to everyone who has donated thus far. i seriously cannot believe how much i've raised in the little time i've been at this. it gives me immense reassurance about getting to $2300, a big sigh of relief for getting to $3000, and i really hope to hit $3000 this month. i've decided that instead of leaping forward in increments of $1000, i'll drop it down to $500. so if i reach $3000 by april, i'll up my goal to $3500.

at least i've never stopped fundraising. and i've only had 3 days of not getting a donation.

tomorrow, i think it will be donut day at work. i want to bring in some donuts and stick little toothpicks in them, upon which i've strategically placed donation cards.

mwa.

mwaha.

mwahaha.
