Things are looking up.

Took care of some unfortunate business that had been hanging over my head, and everything suddenly became very, very clear. It's almost enough to make one believe in the power of feng shui, if I were in to that sort of thing. And maybe I am. I sure as hell feel better right now.

We may be able to salvage the daycamp thing after all! Seaners' respite care person on the weekends is free next week and would love to take him. If we can't work out the paperwork in time (say if they've given his spot away or something) she's still going to watch him a few mornings next week anyway. It's good.

Hopefully [livejournal.com profile] doubletake and spouse will be visiting us this afternoon. We're having enchiladas!

I am getting my cooking mojo back, and I think the writing mojo is also returning.

I'm going to move forward on that chapbook idea. [livejournal.com profile] graphxgrrl, you said you had local printer information for me? I'd love to talk to you about this - could we maybe meet for coffee or something next week (not this week: the kid has the week off, so I'm a little more limited and I know you're swamped at work.)?

I'm collaborating with [livejournal.com profile] starlingthefool on something and I'm utterly jazzed about that. (seriously, I was squeeing and jumping up and down because I'm a DORK that way.)

AND I finally got my damn haircut. Pictures as soon as I can get good ones.

NOW? we dance!

Mama don't dance, but she does rock 'n roll :)

Can't wait to see what writing you are up to :D and glad that things seem to be going more your way.

Rock and roll is GOOD. <3 <3

I'm always swamped at work, so that's no good excuse on my part. ;)

I can bring info on a couple of different options, which one will work better for you will depend on quantities and similar.

Wednesdays are usually the best day for me overall to plan anything.

Awesome, awesome. Small print run is good because it's going to be small (I'm floating this myself, after all.) <3 Can you do Wednesday the 9th sometime before 2:00ish? (the kid's bus gets home at 3:30 and he has a psychiatrist appt. at 4 that day, so I have to be home before then.)

Small is relative, most offset jobs under 1000 are considered small. ;)

I could do lunch on the 9th, anywhere in the waterfront or market area is convenient for me.

How about the crumpet shop? Whatever time is good for you. <3

That's all wonderfully wonderful stuff. Yay! :)

[identity profile] phinnia.livejournal.com 2008-03-31 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
*glomp* YES. <3

[identity profile] starlingthefool.livejournal.com 2008-03-30 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
WOOT! DANCE!

*throws on some Madonna*

When is good for you to talk about Things? What method is good for you to talk about Things? I can do AIM, MSN or email or whatever's good for you... <3 <3

I suck at remembering to sign onto aim. Also at answering my phone. I'm in the middle of a major hermit period. So email is probably best for now.

Oh, dur. I meant to tell you this before. I posted all of the absolutely batty and disorganized things I've written thus far on [livejournal.com profile] lost_city_blues. Hmmm. Maybe I'll post up the more general (read: understandable) outline I've been tinkering with.

[identity profile] phinnia.livejournal.com 2008-03-31 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Cool! It's locked at the moment. <3 But yeah, that's the sort of thing I was hoping for, just to get a feel of what you've done so far and where I can pitch in. *squee*

[identity profile] starlingthefool.livejournal.com 2008-03-31 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I *think* I invited you to the comm. Or I'll try to get it unlocked some other way that doesn't involve doing it individually for every damn entry.

[identity profile] phinnia.livejournal.com 2008-03-31 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooooh. Yeah, it worked. OMG. <3 Okay; I'll take a look at this over the next day or so (I'm less productive than I might like to be at the moment, the kid is home, argh!).

[identity profile] starlingthefool.livejournal.com 2008-03-31 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, I think I fixed it. You still have to join the comm, but it's open membership now.

You and Starling? OMG, CAN'T WAIT. WHATEVER THIS IS, IT'S GOING TO BE FUCKING AWESOME! =D

[identity profile] phinnia.livejournal.com 2008-03-31 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
It IS. It SO, SO IS. *dances around* I'm utterly stoked.
