Some progress

I am still coughing and feeling lousy - though part of the lousy is the normal kind, so it's not all the cold's fault. However, I feel I am making progress, as I hardly pee my pants anymore. And, a little progress is better than nothing.

On a more exciting note I am almost finished my business plan for my grant application, and since I'm on my last and final extension I kind of have no choice. Did I not mention this before? Sorry - I'm trying to get free money to cover my start-up costs for my pet-sitting business. Anyways, I have been working on this damn thing for a month and a half and it's making me crazy.I finally got in touch with this service that helps writing business plans to help steer me in the right direction but it was quite pricey. I have gotten the writer people down from several thousand for writing the whole thing, to $650 for a thorough re-write, to only $250 now for a sprucing up (which I finally agreed to). I have received some other constructive feedback and compliments as well and I think I may actually be successful. Which would be nice. Also - please do not mention anything to my Mom yet...I will tell her about the time I tell her I'm going to Africa and quitting my job. Better to go for the big bang altogether to get it over with right at one time. Hopefully she'll just be happy to see me and won't care as much. We shall see, since I guess I will have to tell her eventually.

Anyways, I actually can take the evening off from the plan so I'm going to watch T.V.
