MS fundraiser Wednesday, April 14th, 2010 Today I added a widget to my Facebook home page that lets you donate a few bucks to sponsor me in the upcoming fundraiser bike-a-thon for MS. I need to hit $250 minimum (but it would be great to raise more than that) so every $1 helps. :)

Bicycling fundraiser Wednesday, April 7th, 2010 I think I'm going to do a bicycling fundraiser this summer (late June). The event is organized to raise money for MS. I'm trying to work my way up to 100 miles so I can choose that block. (You can choose to do 25, 50, 75, or 100 miles for the event.) My main issue is- I'm not sure if I can raise enough sponsors to participate. I think the minimum is $250 which isn't such a crazy large amount, but... I'm just unsure of who to ask. I don't like asking for money even for a good cause. Any suggestions?

Thursday, March 18th, 2010 I must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed (aka the wrong stage of sleep) this morning. I'm having trouble feeling good about anything. Can't motivate myself at work. Don't know how I managed to bike here this morning.

Monday, March 15th, 2010 Today Kat and I took a day-trip to DC. Actually we ended up stopping at Tyson's Corner but close enough. I'm not sure what's going through her mind regarding the events of last week contrasted against, say for instance, today- but I know that I felt lucky to be spending time with her. If this attempt at working things out fails it will be sad, but at least I'll know that I tried. If it works though I will have learned a valuable lesson. I think after you've been with someone for a couple of years, it can be easy to get a little too comfortable and to stop appreciating them (and the relationship) as much as you should. This whole thing has taught me to appreciate Kat and my time with Kat in a way that I just didn't stop to.. do.. before, which was my fault. Anyway, off to bed an hour early.

Saturday, March 13th, 2010 Kat and I had a long talk last night and decided that we're going to try to work things out. I feel relieved, and a little nervous.. but overall I feel good about the decision. Even if it doesn't work out at least I'll never question myself about why I didn't try harder. After so long I believe the relationship deserves a little effort before giving up. So wish us luck!
