(cough) on?  ah.  yes. day off.  i did two errands, knit on something, painted.  bathed.  laundry.  i was so looking forward to this day off, and it makes all the difference in the world.  i also had a small meltdown over money, but then that’s always the way.  still needing an extra couple hundred a month, still haven’t pinned that down.  and then comes summer and...?

the reason i haven’t been posting flickr (either) is that i lent my camera out and when i got it back enough time had elapsed that i forgot where i put the cable to download the pix to the computer.  that was one errand i did today, to try to rustle up another one somewhere.  then there was cleaning up the warehouse ( i no longer call it a house) which didn’t happen. part of the freakout.  i have let everything slide too long, i dont know how i’ll ever dig out.  knit, i suppose.

i don’t do anything for the rest of this week as testing is altering the schedule and i must just sit there and “proctor,” and then show videos for the rest of the day, and friday is a half day, which means outside supervising, nd then getting grades in order.  then there’s one week of regular teaching and then a week of spring break, and then another week, i believe, or maybe two and then a four-day weekend for easter.  then another six or seven weeks and that’s it for the year.  i should be able to get some stuff done in those bits of time, and then daylight savings starts next week, too, and that’s some more light for painting, anyway. at least i finally began painting again.  as with everything else, it’s too soon to tell.

i wonder what i will be able to do to pull in more money.  just a couple hundred more a month, i made it in jan/feb, by selling a couple of things, but i really do need to regularize it some.  making some of those clay heads, i wonder, would that be a good idea?  damned nola still hasn’t sent my w2.  i wonder if i will owe or receive money this year?  i should receive, but who knows?  not i.  i could look it up, i suppose.....nola didn’t pay enough to make that much difference…

i got a beautiful valentine from molly and was unable, as yet, to upload a pic…
