You can check out anytime you like...

But you can never leave.

That is how I feel about California. You can check out of the state, but California will always be in your mind no matter where you go. Of course I'm just feeling a little homesick right now. I've been doing family history things... restoration of pictures and documenting the dates, names and location. My family has been in Clovis, CA for over 100 years on my moms side. Yes, some of the kids moved around, but they always ended up in Clovis. I think that's cool to have a century old hometown.


It is officially the first day of October in Washington. Cold, grey sky and still green on the trees. Although I missed this weather, once it comes I don't really know what to do with it. 


On the global scale I am excited to announce that Saudi Arabian women have been granted the permission to vote... in four years. I am sure that the waiting period is partially to let the excitement burn out for women but the thing is that they have been waiting for their basic rights for centuries. Four more years isn't going to kill that excitement in the least bit. Going from the head of the household in ancient times to this had to have been a hard road and I am pleased to see that they will be getting some of those freedoms back. 


Yesterday I finished my Nurse Delegation class, it went really good. I was the first to be done and I passed with 100%. I can now do a whole new list of crazy things. It's pretty cool, it will be a huge step up in getting a well paying job. 


I have committed to doing NaNoWriMo 2011. I will be writing a metafiction... partially nonsense, mostly awesome. The goal is to write 50,000 words. I participated in 2006, 07 and 08. I won in 2007 which was not as easy as it sounds like.
