Jan 5 - I picked up a hole at work (again) and helped with a project that I really didn't want to. I' feel like I'm so over doing anything above and beyond there, but I still do it.
Jan 6 - I honestly can't remember what I did this day (I have to start writing this stuff down!) but I know it was something. I'll do 2 deeds some other day to make up for it, I KNOW I did something though... that's going to bother me.
Jan 7 - My birthday! I got the best present ever... a full day off! I ended up with a snow day from both my rehearsal and the dance studio. A dear friend of mine came to visit (which totally made my day) and I ordered a pizza for us. I also helped him clean off his truck in the snow when he was ready to leave.
Jan 8 - Worked all day in the ER today. A bunch of people wanted Panera for lunch, but it was still pretty gross out, so I offered to be the driver to pick up everyone's order. Not a big thing, I know, but hey I have 365 of these good deeds to do, they're not all going to be amazing.
Jan 9 - On of my dear friends, Lee, came over for lunch and to exchange Christmas gifts (LOVE my ornament babe!) and I took him out to lunch. I also emailed a friend who I haven't talked to in a very long time.
Jan 10 - I wrote an email to my cousin who I haven't seen in maybe 15 years to catch her up on family drama. She's coming to Columbus for a baby shower this weekend and wanted to be in the loop at least a little bit.
I'm going to try to do better about keeping track of these good deeds, I can't believe I forgot one already! Please give me ideas if you have any! Big love.

Jan 4th Update
January 2 - I worked a 12 hour shift in the ED. My coworker was not feeling well and was also training another young woman so while they were at lunch I took all of their charges and did them. Not an unusual thing for us to do for each other, but I know I appreciate it even more when I'm not feeling well.
January 3 - On this date in 1932 president Roosevelt started what is now known as the March of Dimes. I logged on to their website and saw they do a cell phone drive. I downloaded the mailing label and mailed an old cell phone in.
January 4 - Today was a little busy... I worked at the bookstore (yay Barnes and Noble!) in the morning then ran home to change and eat lunch and headed to the dance studio (yay JDSD!) for our first night of classes after the holidays. I was thinking I had to come up with a good deed but quickly got busy at work. Out of the blue one of my coworkers from another job (yay ER!) came in to say hi. She lost her husband just after Christmas and I haven't gotten to see her since before all that happened. I asked her if I could do anything and she said she needed a "Jenn hug" I was of course more than happy to help. Later in the evening I got a text from another coworker from the ER (Tammy) whose daughter was having trouble with her math homework. I was a math major my first year at OSU and I had told Tammy in the past that she could always call me anytime her kids needed help with their math. Chelsi was pretty upset over the homework (a feeling I know all too well) so I quickly got on line for a 2 minute refresher on "y intercepts" (everyone remember y = mx + b ?) and called Chelsi to walk her through a few equations. She got the hang of it and Tammy said she was in a much better mood for the rest of the night.
Part of me feels like these good deeds maybe don't count because they found their way to me and I didn't plan them, but I also know that both of these acts made a difference in people's days so I'm counting them. :o)

More updates to come of course! Big love and please remember to send ideas my way!
