I'm doing 37 things
About $980 left to pay on this. Ideally I would try to finish paying this over the next four pay periods, but a recent ambulance ride and visit to the ER have given me another stack of bills to worry about. The silver lining to this dark cloud is that despite these new debts, I do expect to have this loan paid off by the end of 2010.

I’ve hit a speedbump, but this is the time of the year when I’m at my busiest: year-end reports at work, preparing the house for holiday guests. Fifty-two books in fifty-two weeks may have been too ambitious this year. However, I have managed to finish a children’s biography of Queen Victoria by Noel Streatfield and Dispatches from the Edge by Anderson Cooper as of 20th November.
