Tuesdays are for Garlic Noodles

and printing all sorts of preliminary documents for the grant writing process. It has been several days of editing, adding images, then taking them out because you can't send that file size over most emails. Funny gmail took it.

I have to remember how to image photos now. It's something I've done a lot in the past, just need to settle down and do it.

Once the first versions of the long and short grants are finished, it will be time to make sure that all of the details are in order for each package. How many, etc. Still can't finalize the budget until I get numbers from PCI, hoping all of those pesky last 5% details can be finished in the next few days, so that I can print these packages.

Will send a copy without images, after editing, to my references for the Wall Alumni Service Award. The deadline for that is 2/17 but it only seemed fair to be able to give the references a pretty good idea about what I am doing and plan to do for the future. The FUN stuff, for sure. Never know, but you have to go through the steps, to get where you want to go. I do understand that, sometimes, I just want those steps to be handled more quickly, the two-step, if you will. All good things in all good time.

Planning to leave hear and head way south, although not as far as Mexico, I still need to get a new passport. Plan to continue my walking, acclimating to Manitou Springs has been great, I've been on a 3-week hiatus, in a relatively warm spell. Found out how to look for quartz on the hill.

More later.
