35 Gifts: Day 9

jeshyrI'm writing this the next morning because I was too tired yesterday, but I'm going to write it as if I wrote it last night. So "today" in here means "day 9". I hope you're now as confused as me.)
I gave away a TV today!
OK, so it wasn't actually my TV. Mum and Dad had bought a new TV so they had one they didn't need and nobody they knew needed it so they brought it over here. I didn't need it but I figured I could find a friend who needed it and I did! It was wonderful to be able to offer and give it to the person I gave it to, and she was so very pleased. I was very happy.
I spent some time sorting through the fine print of the "click to give" websites and finding ones which seemed worth it and I've saved the folder of bookmarks so I can open them all at once. It'll only take a minute or two to click on all the pages, which is a very small amount of time and I can do it when I'm busy procrastinating anyway :).
I finished another keyring this evening which was satisfying. I'm still hanging them on my Christmas tree (you can see my Christmas 2009 photos if you haven't already) to give away but it's the 8th of January so I do rather need a different method of displaying them! Perhaps I can find a gum branch to hang them from instead? I have, as I wrote this, added "New keyring display method" to my "To Do" book, so I'll think about it at least!
I can't remember if I wrote about this but I've also been thinking of finishing this 35 Gifts project by giving away 35 individual gifts on my birthday day. I won't be able to make 35 keyrings by then - I can do about 2 every 3 days so there isn't time. Something I could do is make 35 of the flat origami hearts and write messages from Operation Beautiful on them and give those out and ask others to distribute them for me. I have some quite large origami paper that I'd like to use up and it would be perfect for this. So I think I'll do that.
Very tired day today (which is why I'm actually writing this the next day - I fell asleep). Couldn't do all my physio which is depressing. I think it's the heat - even though I'm in my air conditioned cave it still somehow has an effect ... whether it's the constant noise and air movement from the air conditioner or what I have no idea but I still feel worse on hot days.
More resting now. I'll try to write day 10's report on the actual correct day :)
Cheers,
Ricky

*Hugs* Maizie.
