I wonder...

I've been in a pensive mood lately. It's been weird, I've been trying to sort out my life (easier said than done, I assure you), and trying to get everything done. It's been weird. But in a good way.

Twitter has taken over my life. I've reached over 6,000 tweets and show no signs of stopping. It's weird, because honestly, I hated twitter when I first got it. I didn't understand it. Now I do, and I'm tweeting far more than ever before. It's kind of weird.

Now, I've got something that is near and dear to my heart, and it has helped my family while my granda Dooley was alive. The Irish Carers Association is currently fundraising to be able to continue functioning throughout the 'recession' we are currently in. (My 9 year old brother knows the word recession. I didn't know it when I was 9, and I read the papers!)

The CA helped my family so much, simply by giving my nana an hour a week off. That's all she asked for, to be able to go to the shops by herself, without worrying about Granda following her, or getting into trouble, or trying to get back to his childhood home. (he suffered from dementia)

My school is doing fundraising for them, and I'll be bag packing in Tesco Roselawn this Thursday, from 3-6pm. Come along, get some shopping, and donate. If you see me (5'4, blonde growing out highlights and pink glasses) and say hi, I'll match your donation (up to €5, I'm not rich!)
