Anticipation of Paradise

This place does get a lot of snow. Notice in this time lapse view the parking lot is surrounded by small trees, which disappear by the end of the shot.

I've just found somewhere that's willing to pay me £100 for my blood!
Wooohooooo!

Well, I'm not 100% sure yet, but I have registered and interest, and am now spending it in my head.

AND one of the women in my group came in with a BIG bag of bath stuff for me today. She told me earlier in the week that she'd put some things aside for me - I only bath and she only showers, but I had no idea of the amount and quality. So not only have I oodles of luxury baths ahead, but I am really flattered she thought of me, and thought enough of me to haul it in.

Poor old HM, he'll start forgetting what the bathroom looks like now

I'm more concerned with just how much blood they want for that kind of money, and how they plan to get it.

Perhaps its actually plasma--that hurts a lot more to donate, and takes a little longer, so they pay more for it--though they don't pay nearly as much for it around here. On the other hand, they pay nothing at all for regular blood donation here, except a free cookie when you're done.

I finally got the check from my brother that he is going to send me every month to pay back a loan.

What?! You're waaaayyyy deep in debt to banks, paying interest and stuff, and someone owes you money? I bet he's not paying you interest, is he? Since you could use this capital to reduce your debt, you are effectively paying interest on HIS loan. I wonder, how much has this cost you over the lifetime of the loan?
Whatever, he's you're brother and there might be good reasons behind this, but nevertheless, try to get this one paid back promptly.

It's not that much money and he's my freakin brother - I'm not going to charge him interest. I loaned him the money before I was in over my head.

But it will help you get out of debt, which is exciting.


Um... what are you wearing?
