APNARCOPLEXIC

In 2011, I pledged $0.50 per birdie, resulting in $45 to Narcolepsy Network. I was surprised it added to me standing out at the conference that year. Though I heard some people say that I’m becoming someone that is an easily recognized regular associated with the conference…. So, I might wonder if I’m in the right place when I’m looking for the conference area, but others will think they are if they spot me?

During the conference Nicole, had said she’s planning to break 100 next year.

I decided to take that dare, and pledge $1 per birdie in 2012.

That resulted in $121 to Wake Up Narcolepsy.

For whatever reason, I decided to stick with $1 per birdie pledge in 2013.

So, today…as I was coming home from work, I felt really thirsty…so first thing at home is to down a bottle of water.

One of the problems with having fewer co-workers now, is there’s no reminder to take a break around 3pm. And, by the time I realize its passed, I don’t feel like doing anything about it so close to quiting time, plus I’m usually in the zone to get that one last thing done before I call it a day.

Guess it was right to find the dreaded letter from Nicole Jeray…. this year its for me to donate $129 to Narcolepsy Network.

This does appear to result in me making a new record in total donations to Narcolepsy Network this year….more than double of last year, where most of it was the money raised in my 44-for-44 campaign….where all the money raised was effectively all from me. Though it was a hair less than what I had donated the year before…because I felt generous for some reason at the end of that year when they were asking for donations since they has some dollar matching deal going on….

So, I guess I will reconsider how much I’m pledging in the future, Nicole did comment about it at the conference.

But, things shouldn’t get to where it won’t be more than just as passing thought on whether I need to apply for a scholarship to continue attending NN conferences….
