first, some business:
i mentioned a couple of weeks ago [after the recent typhoon] that each month, this little blog’s earnings would be going to a worthy cause. i plan to make the 1st of each month ‘donation day’ — that way a) i won’t forget, and b) i’ll know how much to give based on the previous month’s earnings.
this blog is NOT a ‘big blog’ and therefore not all that lucrative, to say the least. but even so, having a little trickle of extra income during med school, residency, and fellowship was helpful. now, i feel like it’s my turn to give back! this month’s worthy cause is
heifer international, a large organization whose
“mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the Earth.”
sounded like a good plan to me. so, thanks to you all, a share of goat + a family farm care package have been sent to someone who needs it.
feel free to email or post suggestions for january’s donation.
second, some more business:
i’m toying with trying a more structured/planned approach to posting here for a little while – just to see if i like it. part of this will include weekly ‘topic’ posts so that i don’t clog the internets with stream-of-conscious blather every single day. upcoming:
also on the topic of the blog: does anyone know a good designer/computer person who could help with a) a blog facelift and b) migration to wordpress self-hosted [because i think i’m the only one in the world left on blogger . . .]? i’m in no hurry, but if you have recs, please let me know!
third: weekend business as usual
yesterday, despite a lot of family fun, i was a hormonal [and tired] mess. the day was saved by an impromptu afternoon nap and a great movie:
today was fantastic. go figure 🙂
weekend highlights:
