i’m surprised it’s not easier to find the american heart association’s basic “family & friends cpr” class. their class locator finds three pages of training centers in my area, none of which are offering it. it’s all classes which include first aid training, classes for healthcare providers, etc. i’ll keep looking, but guess i may have to settle for more class than i want. :-\

i took a five-day internet break for a “vacation at home” last week. i purposefully made no schedules or todo lists, but put in some quality basement purging time anyway. in addition to trashing and recycling, i made a pile of items to sell or give away. when i had them all together, i did a photo shoot, and when i got back online, i used the photos to post ads on amazon, craigslist, and freecycle (avoiding ebay until amazon/craigslist fail me). two items have sold, and several have been claimed. it’s satisfying to remove them from the basement to the front porch and later see that they’ve disappeared.

i just finished processing the last of the five answering machine tapes! all the voices i want to keep have been split into small files. 813 small files! now i need to figure out the chronology of the tapes and piece the files together into one per person. looking forward having a file of all my first partner’s messages and some files to share with friends of themselves from 15+ years ago.
