Just a Quick Update

It's so strange to think that I used to post stuff on Journalspace a couple of times a day, and I can only bother to post here a couple of times a week. That's bad, because I miss that feeling of "belonging" that I (and maybe you) had at JS. But it's also good because it means I've been very busy with work.

Ah, well. Anyway some good things have happened this week.

On Wednesday I found a bonus of $25 in my Paypal account from a client who appreciated a rush job that I did for him. It made the difference between being able to pay the electric bill by check rather than as yet another thing to charge on my already-full credit card.

Also, my daughter got approval for homebound instruction for the rest of this school year, which is only about four weeks. She only had one class in common with the boy that abused her, but she just couldn't adjust back after being in the hospital. Anyway, what that means is that she will spend days at her grandmother's house with whom she is very close, and the teacher will go there for about an hour and a half a day. She always did really well when I home schooled her, so I think she'll adjust to this very quickly.

And, I've started bidding on projects and subletting them to Maury. He used to keep a photography consumer type blog that got hundreds of hits a day, so we know he can draw readers. He's doing a trial piece for a tech blog that will lead to steady work if they like it.

Thanks to all of you for being so supportive. Even though I'm not on here that much, I am on Twitter under the name kittenheel if anyone wants to follow. In fact there are several JS-ers there including Moko, Domestic Daze, Birmo, and several others.
