Got $100 for doing an outline of a book for the manager's meeting. Also did my presentation, in spite of just about everything falling apart at the last minute. Once we got the projector and the laptop to talk to each other, the internet connection went wacky, once that came back up, they took the network down for maintenance...knowing I was ( Read more... )

Into the void in my life has bloomed...a flower. Where a once perennial flower was torn out and thrown away, without thought, the seeds of hard work and determination were sown, and today, the flower presented itself to me for my birthday...I got hired ( Read more... )

On which I shall post more on a more filtered entry. Suffice it to say there was a lot going. But I made Cinnamon Swirl bread for my new boss' birthday...another Pisces in my life...don't know if I WANT that kind of dwama. But I did it.

We poured the back stoop last night.  Then I finished circling the iris bed with liriope....well, 8/10ths of the way.  I'll finish up tonight.  Gods I LOVE this time of year.  Of course when it's dark, it's time to go to bed.   I have to remember to stop before it goes dark if I have anything to do inside ( Read more... )
