I only ended up working for an hour or so today, but just in that time the ED introduced me to 4 or 5 people, one of whom took my number and says he thinks he and people he knows have enough paid work to keep me busy while I look for a job. Yay! Moneys! To be buying the foods! (And, let's be honest, the alcohols). And pay the bills.

you rock, smonster.

Worked with my friend's employees today. OMG, they need me.

Thanks to the bleed-off of wigginess you all provided for me last night, I was able to have the '4 categories of work for one price is not reasonable and, if I try to do this myself, my head will explode' conversation.

It want pretty well. She isn't trying to take advantage, she's just naive about what it takes to do things she needs done.

I can't criticize, she has built an awesome business.

I was especially glad to be able to save her from a world of hurt with a client dog she needs to refer out, right now. I'm not sure how the intake interviews go (I'll probably end up rewriting it, regardless) but this dog should never have been taken on. He's a danger to the walkers and to himself. I'm not even sure I could help that family as the doggy lama. So, that was a feel-good moment.

The walker was great with him...really caring and confident. Unfortunately, that walker is leaving and the new walker can't do it. I wouldn't do it.

Poor thing.

Yay, smonster!

We are at the beach. My family is already annoying me but it might just be that I'm uber cranky.

It sounds like you are making progress toward a better structured relationship, bonny. I skimmed another big chunk of posts but there was a lot of good advice and conversation there.

Busy here, no surprise. Going to fly down to Florida for a couple days to deal with business stuff. Out Monday, back Wednesday. Tonight I am walking down to the dark dock area to check out the milky way and some meteors since the moon won't be around and it is totally clear. Also, in the low 60s. It is good to have the cool mountains to sooth my overworked mind.

My nephew just texted me about Dr Who. It's silly but it makes me sniffly that we have something to talk about with him being so far away.

As always, Laura, the hivemind is divine. They really pulled me out of this one!

I got to skype for a bit with the Peace March reunion going on in CA. I was super sad to be missing it, but..can I be honest here...seeing the campground and the same dinner line and knowing that people are freezing cold...maybe I'm okay to have taken a pass.

There is zero shade on the campsite and the idea of sleeping in a tent no longer appeals.

It WAS good to see folks though...and the most important ones are coming to DC next month.

It is amazing how some people haven't changed much at all in 25 years...and a blessing to still be connected to them.

Sigh. Now, I think I'll curl up in my dirt-free, non-windy-cold bed and have a good sleep.

heh.

Skipping like a skipping thing to say I'm home with my feet up after a long, LONG day of dance competition. The results of the many heats I danced (waltz & tango) are many, many seconds, one third place, and in the most difficult of my tango heats, a 1st place.

My feet hurt.

I dance again on Sunday-- cha-cha & rumba. Tomorrow, however, my feet stay UP.

a 1st place.

Triumph! Woot!

Woo Barb. That's wonderful.
