A Feeling of Accomplishment

I got my Doctor Who short story done and Peter will be done with his this afternoon. So I think Keith will breath a sigh of relief. I am rather proud of it. I plan to send it to Keith after Peter reads it and gives me his notes.

Now onto costuming on the assumption that Ariel is going to pass Chemistry and not have to go to summer school this year. One of the costumes already exists. I need to get some make-up and stuff which is going to take a bit of time to put on at the convention. One costume is rather complicated and one is a redo of a costume I have done previously so I know what I need to do for that one. All I know it that finding reference material this time around is a lot easier than it was last time.

I need to start making lists again. I keep losing thoughts from my head. My short-term memory is in a bit of a jumble these days. It is getting better but making a list of all the things we need from the grocery store is a good idea so I don't come home and start swearing because I forgot something really basic that we need. Maybe it is because I have had a lot on my mind recently.

I am grateful that I was able to complete the story in the number of words allotted (OK I went a few words over but still I am in the ball park)

Happy Birthday SHEILA!

Today my little sister (OK my only sister) turns 37.

I can remember that mom would let me hold her as a baby. She was squirmy.

I remember going to a Duran Duran concert with her where she won the dance contest and got to meet the band. That got us front row seats to the concert too.

I remember her having to sit between me and Sean or my parents when we went anywhere as a family. Yes we did say "Stop touching me".

I remember when she fractured her collar bone falling down the stairs of the house my parents had just bought.

I remember being stunned when she informed me that she was going to Japan.

I remember watching her and Patrick have these really complicated stories going on with our Star Wars action figures.

I remember taking her to her first Science Fiction convention.

I remember how proud I was of her when she became a paralegal and took control of her life again.

I remember how proud I felt when I heard that she had found a condo she wanted to buy and then bought it.

Happy Birthday Kiddo!

Your Big Sister is really proud of all that you have accomplished.

I am grateful to have Sheila as my sister.
