I dont have a single receipt for any of that. I deducted my computer. I just feel sort of screwed.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I would have had a bigger refund than the book advance. Seriously. Fuck.

Ugh. There are less expensive hobbies than being a writer. After I had to buy a laptop to finish the book, it turns out that I actually paid money to write it.
Angry.

Awww. Writing isn't really a big money making venture unless you're Nora Roberts or Stephen King.
It'll take a while for the royalties to come around too. But it does look like it'll get some good sales so you will get some money eventually. And you could probably parlay the book into writing a regular column somewhere.
Or possibly option the book. That'd be cool.
But don't kill your happy buzz before the book comes out, okay?

I woke to find I have NO OIL! joy. And it's all ICE STORM outside. The number for the oil company was busy for like 40 minutes and now i've been on hold on them for 15. I am going to hide under my covers and cry and cry.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
you wshould round up any friends who aren't working today to come over for a house party. Play music and dance and let the mass of bodies warm the place up. Well, that or get under covers.

If it weren't scary to drive, I'd say come here. Cats might freak over the dogs, but... Or go to one of your friend's stores! They'll let you and the pets sleep in the back, yeah? Oh, and let your faucets drip, hon.
Don't know what's happening yet. Work is opening late. Looks like I got mostly snow, but the road had not been cleared and ice is coming down now. Think I'll go nap now.

Skipping and poking head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Deena and her DH's anniversary. Happy day to the both of them! With lots of wishes for another great year together!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oy, lisah! That's no good.
I don't want to outside into "stinging sleet"!

ooh dance party! Of course my house is filthy and really I could warm up by going on a cleaning frenzy. And then have people over for a dance party.
Or go to one of your friend's stores! They'll let you and the pets sleep in the back, yeah?
I do actually have a key to one of the stores...although I think the animals will be fine here in their fur coats.
Really it's not that cold in here yet. My house holds heat pretty well. And I did finally talk to someone at the oil company so they should be coming by sometime today. i hope.
Oh, and let your faucets drip, hon.
I have hot water so I don't think my pipes are in danger of freezing. ... I don't think... Sometimes I feel so ill equipped to be a home owner.
