That sounds like a wonderful day of celebration!
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Why does it kind of hurt to realize your ex has moved on even when you have moved on?
Because he should still be pining over your absence and the majesty that is you.

You guys I just sent off my first real job estimate for someone who isn't a friend. BLARGH. Current boss reviewed it for me and gave me some suggestions. I feel like I'm asking too much (boss thinks I'm asking too little). BLARGH. Can I have some "accept the quote" ~ma?
This is always one of the hard parts of writing an estimate. I spend a lot of time helping my design students learn how to value their work.
Here is one thing I do to try to help them out. Look at what your weekly budget is, the amount you need to bring in to cover all of your expenses, then look at the amount of time the project you are estimate will take, including things like writing the estimate, getting supplies, etc. Take your weekly costs, divide them by 40, take that number and multiply it by the number of hours this project will take, then add in materials cost. That's the absolute bare minimum the project needs to bring in assuming you are gainfully employed for a 40 hour week. Make sure your estimate is that number plus a healthy margin (Doubling that number is quite fair) and you can have a good ballpark for a starting estimate charge.

one of my friends is a ainter - - her mentor said the minimum charge for a painting should be enough so that you can paint 3 more

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Ugh. Still in pain. And I took my last painkiller, and can't get more until Saturday, I think. Maybe Friday. Pain sucks.

Pain does suck. I hope you were able to get some renewing sleep.

Hil, I hope you're feeling better today.
ltc is currently counting, "12389". Not sure what happened to the numbers in between, but it's adorable.

So my new daughter's birthday is tomorrow and her desire was to go on this 3 day camping thing with her and her mom. "Becoming an Outdoors-Woman" We get to sleep in cabins, have bonfires, eat good stuff and take all kinds of various seminars. I think we have classes like knot tying and survival stuff, and archery I think. So I am packing. It is going to be mid 80s during the day and 60s at night so that works out. Probably some rain in there. And cake! Her mom is bringing a big chocolate moose cake thing for tomorrow night. And Saturday night all the women with February birthdays get celebrated, which includes me. There are 140 women so I anticipate fun times. (yes we will smuggle in booze) Whee!
