mostly online, which i haven’t done in awhile and don’t usually like to do.  but everybody was conferring or ‘thoning or something somewhere, everywhere this weekend and i spent a good deal of time with my hand up crying “me, too, please?” little mee up there galloped away to beat the band, but never quite managed to find the parade, always just one street over as it seemed to be.  fell asleep sunday evening and woke up around 10, thinking surely it must be 4. no?

and so tomorrow is my first real day of unemployment, or underemployment, as i still have the rec job 19 hours a week, thank god.  i’m going to try to take this phase calmly, reminding myself that there is no reason why i won’t be able to substitute, and do it enough to survive, once they finally decide to actually look at my application.  this next month i have to find about an exra grand, is all, or drain my savings by whatever amount i don’t find.  nola will put me back on some more but, of course, i’ll have to work my way back into the schedule so i can’t expect the 30 hours or so i need per week.  i go to the studio at 3 and work until 7 every day.  perhaps, no, i don’t know, i thought i’d stop by the knit shop tomorrow, but i’m sick of knitting at present.  i do need to make some rounds around town, see what’s out there in the dog days, however.  i also need to get on that certification studying thing that’s been pushed off this long.  i dont know, this is not gonna be an easy month, i guess.  but i’m hoping not to freak too much, since tomorrow is really only my first REAL day of underemployment, having funded myself the first six months as R&D of a sort…
