Week 2 of my VISTA year was more of the same from the first week. I'm still working on cleaning up the service listings for the counties on the 4People website. While tedious, it's rewarding knowing that when people look at the county listings, they'll be more accurate with regard to the exterior links. (www.4people.org)
One nice thing is that much of the work is done by telecommuting. Last week I went in to the office only two days: one to collect the mail, the other to discuss how the clean-up project was going. Misty (the other Vista) collected the mail 2 other days.
On a personal note, I found out my horse has laminitis. It's a good thing I brought her home -- she had been put on pasture for too long, too soon (one of the causes of laminitis is too rich a diet, such as too much pasture right after being on hay only). Now she's on dry lot and can't go onto the pasture all summer (bummer). I have to find a source of hay since I can only buy so many bales from my neighbor.

Hey Marilyn,
just checking in to say hi. I'm a bit of a tedious geek myself when cleaning up data. I love figuring out ways to clean large amounts of it (though it can sometimes be all consuming:)
Sorry to hear about your horse. Maybe you could post some pictures?
Hope your VISTA years is going well,

ps. http://www.freecycle.org is a good resource to find free stuff (like bales of hay perhaps).
