I realized this past weekend that I have extra money in my bank account each week after paying all of my bills and doing what I want to do. So, I finally have reached one of my goal points in life. I finally have enough extra money to donate regularly to the charities that I like. :)
So, on Sunday, I set it up with several of my favorite charities to take small amounts out of my account each month. I'm really excited about it. I am now giving $10 per month to Peta (I also sent a specific $25 donation), $10 per month to The Humane Society of the United States (I also became a member for $25), $10 per month to the ASPCA, and $20 per month to the World Wildlife Fund.
I am thankful for all the work that all of these charities do, and I am glad that I can finally help support them financially. I can't take in any more animals right now, and I am waiting to find out from the Lincolnton Humane Society about when I'll be starting my volunteer work there. So, these financial donations make me feel that I'm still doing something to help. I'm proud to be a part of them.

In other news, when I came in to work this morning, I was the first one in. As I got close to the door, I could hear that the alarm was going off. I went in and saw that it said, "FRONT OFFICE - MOTION." So, I typed in my code and then I went back outside for fear of what was in my office (my office is the FRONT OFFICE)! I called Joe (he's out of town on business), but I got his voicemail. He had a late night and was sleeping in.
It was almost 8:00 and Dave (the only co-worker not out of town on business) still hadn't arrived. So, I ventured in on my own. I turned on the lights and looked around my office. Everything was as I left it yesterday afternoon. I looked in my bathroom and everything was peachy-keen there too. I looked in Rudy's office (it's across the hall from me) and everything was normal there too. I looked in the breakroom and nothing was out of the ordinary there either.
I opened the door out to the showroom and turned on the lights. I just glanced around and everything seemed okay. I didn't go out to the warehouse because the lights take too long to turn on and I didn't want to be surprised in the dark.
I went back to my office and locked the door. Dave finally arrived about 8:20. Joe finally called back about 8:25. Dave did some looking of his own and even went out to the warehouse. Everything seemed normal. Joe had me call the alarm company (which I already did, but got the answering machine). I finally got ahold of someone. They said that the motion detector is probably on the fritz. They're sending someone out to check it out. It's under warranty still, so if there's anything wrong with it, they'll replace it for free. :)
So, it seems that everything was okay, but it sure got my heart racing this morning! I don't like being by myself when there might be an intruder! :S
