2008

I'm still alive- I consider that a big goal achieved

Accepted into Nursing School and finished my first term

Reorganized boys room and cleared out for more useful storage on shelving in there

Rotated some preps that really needed to be used

Canned my wheat

Purchased Big Berkey

Purchased my first firearm

 

2009

Go into remission (6 months without a flare) and hopefully taper off all medications by June

Continue my studies

Re-evaluate preps and fill holes

 

Longer term prep goals will have to wait until I am done with school. Right now I'm focusing on gaining nursing skills and increasing my knowledge.
