Having a big, lazy, take-it-easy kind of day. Two events last week - trial by fire. Both went well and my new boss gave me flowers! How nice is that?
We had a meeting the following morning and a lot of the people who attended were also at the event. The words “lovely” and “successful” were bandied about.
The craft show was a success. Even though I only made about $100 bucks, considering my output - 3 hours on Thursday night with scraps of paper - and the 1.5 hours of manning the booth….I think I did swell. Also, got to work on a scarf that someone ordered so I think it was good compensation for my time.
One of my friends e-mailed me this morning and is thinking about starting a writing group. I’m all for that. Need someone to keep me accountable. I was just talking to another friend and saying how much I liked taking writing class because it forced me to have something to turn in each week. Writing groups I’ve tried in the past haven’t gone anywhere - people are more inclined to talk about what they want to write rather than actually write.
It rained again Thursday night (was supposed to rain all day, but God and I had a talk about that and it didn’t start until my event was over!) and today the sky is extraordinarily blue. I will miss my view of the mountains when I finally do move. I see no other homes, lights or freeways from my windows. That’s extremely rare here in the big city.
