I'm weeding out. I whipped through and listed 101 things just to have 101 things. Which is stupid. So here's an updated list.

Maybe not fun in the "whee, I can't wait to do this again!" way, but in the productive, checking things off a list way. I made appointments for mole mapping and a consultation for getting my wisdom teeth extracted. I'm packing three doctor's appointments into one day in April, so hopefully everything goes off without a hitch. All the visits are for standard/diagnostic things and not actual procedures, so with any luck the whole experience won't hand me my ass. Even if it does though, at least I'll have it all over with in one day instead of dragging it out.

It's difficult as hell to find a first responder class around here. I thought for sure there would be one at the technical college, but no go. A coworker is looking into it for me though. It's good to have friends who used to be in the military, they seem to know everything, or know someone who does. Not much luck on the fork lift operator certification course either. But one thing at a time. Or three. Heh.

Eight glasses of water is a lot of water.

#43 is done! I went through my Flickr photostream and cleaned out the junk. I'm not sure it's ready for a gallery show or anything, but I'm learning to let go of bad photographs so that the good ones show more often.

I wrote a letter to my friend Nora today. I'm becoming quite the pen pal!

101 things is a lot of stuff, y'all. So I started a 43 Things account to track my progress. It lets a user add only 43 things at a time, so as I mark them done I can grab something else off of The List and add it on there.
