Motivation.

February 1st I had to get up bright and early to take Dad to the doctor to get his staples out. I know you are going "what the hell? what staples??" Well on January 23rd, I was getting ready to go out and Jeremiah came flying into the bathroom demanding a wet washcloth because he hurt Grandpa, bad. I asked how and he said his arm. Well, this is not surprising, my dad has really thin skin and it gets torn really easily. So, I get the washcloth and go out to the living room, I take one look at Dad's arm and I almost hurled. He was missing all of the skin off the top of his forearm, about 6 inches long.

I put the washcloth on him and tried convincing him to go to the hospital. He wasn't having it and I had places to be. So I told him I would run to town and get stuff to bandage it up, then I was out. Well, when I got home from town it had been decided that Dad was going to the hospital. So, I took him up. He ended up getting 7 staples and a tetanus shot. I almost hurled again. I don't know what my deal is, typically blood and injuries don't bother me at all, maybe it was because it was Dad.

Anyhow, back to the first, he got his staples out, then we got home and I worked on some homework stuffs (I am taking college classes on top of fire school, so homework is the story of my life.) and did laundry. Then I got ready and went to fire school. After class I went out to and had dinner and hung out with friends.

Yesterday (wow, YESTERDAY!) from the time I got home I was in high speed. I don't know what my deal was but I had so much energy and motivation. I did my homework for fire school and most of my reading for my Children's Lit class. Then I did some laundry, ordered stuff for the Fire Party, worked on the website for the association, worked on my blog, and folded and put away all of my clothes.

I don't remember the last time I was this motivated or got this much done. But I still feel that way today, so I'm looking forward to getting more crap done.

didn't even bother with makeup.

Just so you know, I will continue to keep the blog up, but it may only be once a week, or once every few days posting. I am incredibly busy with school and fire stuff and am just getting into tax season. Plus, a lot of times I don't really have anything interesting to say, but I am under 50 days left in this challenge, so I'm not quitting yet. Also, I think I am going to continue some sort of photography challenge, any ideas for me?
