A written update
Jun. 14th, 2009 12:53 pmIt has been eons and eons since I put a written update in this thing, and I really do feel bad about that. I really don't know why I haven't been motivated to write/update in here more regularly. I'm not sure if it's the lack of things going on around here or if I just haven't felt like writing, but so it goes. I'm half kidding when I say that it surprises me slightly that I still have a Friends' list. I do know that it's not from lack of enjoyment of keeping this thing or from boredom of doing so that I don't right, which can only be looked at as a good thing.
Things in my corner of the planet are going well enough. There have been ups and downs here and there, which I'm not necessarily comfortable writing about, but such is life, I suppose. I mentioned it in a voice post, though not in writing: a few weeks ago, both of our glass shower doors came crashing spectacularly down, one oh-so-conveniently on my foot, (I was in the shower at the time), causing me to need six stitches. All is well with that now, the stitches are out, and the wound will heal the rest of the way on its own. It hurt amazingly at the time, and I wouldn't recommend such things to anyone. Not that I intentionally made it happen or had a choice, I didn't.
I still continue to help out weekly with the Braille class at our local blindness agency, although last week and this the main instructor is on vacation, and so class is canceled. Another item of note as of late is that I am now a board member for the NFB Northern Delaware chapter, which should be interesting. I'm not all too sure what I'm getting myself into, but from what people have said my duties would be, I think it will be fine.
Convention is coming closer by the day, and I'm getting ever-more excited. I can't wait to meet up with old friends and meet new ones, both people I've talked to only online as of yet and new people completely. For those of you who are going who I'm not aware of, comment and let me know if you want to meet up. I also am looking forward to the meetings, as weird as that might sound. I've already gone through the agenda and made my own, personal agenda of events that are of specific interest to me. I'm not sure if I'll stick to that exclusively, (most likely not), but it's good to have somewhere to start from, and I won't have to look through *everything* each time I want to find something, definitely a plus. Also, I can just dump the file on my phone/Sgream and carry it with me, a second plus.
Yesterday our NFB student division had a yard sale. While we didn't sell too much, there were some buyers, and every little bit helps. The weather may have played into it, too, rainy and stormy and such. The weather was considerate, as it started downpouring as soon as my sister and I got in the bus to leave and stopped when we needed to get out again upon reaching our apartment building.
I've been doing a lot of reading as of late. I started and finished the first book in the Twilight series, and surprisingly it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm reading the second one now, amongst other books. I'm never content just reading one book at a time.
I'm not sure what else to update on, (I'm probably forgetting *something*), and so think I will call this an entry. I'm glad to be writing again, and hope I can do it more often. Take care all, more soon.
