1. I'm making huge progress in my storage unit. Cleaning it out has been a hassle. :p

2. I donated a medical human skeleton 'Archie', I had inherited years ago to the local high school here. The teacher was VERY grateful and the kids are eager to learn with the big guy. I did my good deed for the year ;)

Interesting.  I've heard they're very expensive.  My chiropractor has one but it's knackered and looks as if it needs a chiro adjustment!

1. We leave as soon as I get home tomorrow for a weekend with one of my bestestest lifelong friends. He has comped us a room for two nights at the hotel he manages, and we will be spending most of the weekend with him, catching up.

2. I have two eyes again! It has been a long week, with poison ivy in my right eye, all over my forehead and in my hair. A steroid shot and $30 worth of medication for 4 days later, and I have both my eyes. JOY!

Thank you Mrs. R.!! 

You're very welcome!  :-*

It was a good afternoon out - I'm very glad we planned it for Wednesday rather than today as I'm glad to be done running around & in the house - warm & dry.  :P

Yes, they're VERY expensive and I probably could have sold it. It was in mint condition, but I felt it was better to donate it. Plus cleaning out my storage unit in preperation to move to London is way more important to me  ;D

1.  In 13 days I'll be in London for a 3 week visit with the fiancee. Last one before the big visa app
2. I think I may have found 'The Dress' for my wedding  ;D
