Is this enough?

Less than a week, and it's already a bit of an effort to write something. Something in the established train of thought, that is. Agh, so what?

I spent the better part of the day doing anything but the database work I'd agreed to do. Poking around the Net, I'm floored to discover how much long term care insurance could be to buy for my parents. Is it really $5,000 a year? If we could afford that, we could nearly afford to buy them care a la carte when it's needed.

An inadequate plan of action is better than no plan of action, right? The more thought I gave the Sew Kids project, the more I saw that it may be possible to get a grant for the sewing machines themselves. But would vendors and manufacturers step up to provide the consumables like patterns, fabric and other supplies? No way of telling until I contact them. In any case, it appears things would have to fall into place in this order:
- A community center agrees to provide the space and security.
- A grant is obtained to purchase sewing machines that remain with the program.
- Donations for suppies are solicited.
- Sign up participants
I wrote to a local teen community service organization asking for someone to point me in the right direction in starting such program. It's the first time I've really written about it outside of this blog. When I wrote the letter, I was surprised at how easily all the good-reasons-to-do-this parts came to me. It'll be a gas to have them respond, won't it?
