On Cinco de Mayo Will Miller and I realized that there were 26 days left until the start of our race. We also realized that there are 26 letters in the alphabet. Coincidence? I think NOT. It was on May 5 that we decided to do a backwards-alphabet countdown to May 31. Ladies and gentlemen – I would like to wish you a Happy P Day!! (FYI – we are counting down backwards because we are counting down to the beginning of something, not the end. Will Miller and I are bursting with wisdom.)
I would like to update you on what has happened between Z day and P day.
Numero Uno –
A financial update. A big AMEN to the fact that I currently have $10,251 in my account. This is more than what I need to launch at the end of this month, and I have until the end of November to raise the remaining $3,549. This is SO do-able, and makes me SO happy. Thank you to all of you who have supported me financially – you are AWESOME.
Numero Dos –
I chopped off my hair!! I decided that it would be a good time to donate my hair, as it will be much less for me to maintain on the race. SO, I chopped off 11 whole inches and donated it to Beautiful Lengths – a program that makes wigs for cancer patients. It’s a big change, but I am starting to like the short doo.
Numero Tres –
I am done work and I have moved home! My beautiful co-workers at Kennedy Krieger (a special needs resource center) threw me the most lovely going away lunch – complete with the best lasagna EVER, and an ice cream sundae bar. It was a great place to work, and they were awesome and encouraging with my trip. Also, I am now living back in St. Michaels with my parents, and I couldn’t be happier. It has been amazing to be able to focus on what I need to get done and spend time with my family!
Numero Cuatro –
Not all numeros are good numeros. Sadly, my SEVEN YEAR OLD goldfish, Carl, passed away this week. He was SEVEN – let’s focus on that. This man lived a good life. And, as far as I could tell, he was a happy guy. He was also a carnival fish. I am pretty sure he deserves media attention for his longevity.
Numero Cinco –
This numero should not surprise anyone. But, The Oriole’s remain in last place. I want this numero to change.
That is all my numeros for the moment. I love you all 🙂
