Well it's settled. I'm going back to social services on October 27th. They wanted me back on the 13th but I wanted to give Oakland Mills more notice than that. I also wanted to try and figure out a way not to have to go back. Now though, I've kind of resigned myself to it. It will be nice to have...

Staying put
With two sales to Andrews and McMeel this week, I'm starting to think more seriously about combining the Oakland Mills job and writing and not going back to social services. I called to bug social services again Wednesday, haven't heard back from them. Maybe this is a message that I'm not supposed...

Stayed home from work
today. Two nights in a row I've awakened in the middle of the night and had trouble getting back to sleep. I'm exhausted. I did sell a card to Andrews and McMeel Monday so that's a cool $200 coming in. I'll take that and more. Also finally got my interview posted on greetingcardwriting.com. If y'all...

Getting creamed and being practical.
Got about 4 batches of cards ready to send out. That feels good. Car breakdown was a minor pain, if it had to breakdown, it picked a good time and place. With Lisa's new job, it looks like I won't be seeing nearly as much of her. She's staying with her parents for the time being, since it's much...

Mixed blessings
On impulse, I decided to go to the Oakland Mills football game after work today. We lost 35-0. I'm thinking since they usually play on Saturdays maybe their bodies thought the game was tomorrow. I'm starting to get to know and like the people at Oakland Mills, which is a mixed blessing. It will make...

Feeling much better today after sleeping 9 and a half hours last night. Guess I'll have to learn to adjust if I'm going to stay at Oakland Mills. Got my first check today, two days earlier than expected. Not much but it's good to have something steady coming in. Still no word from my old job, now...

Too tired to write (much)
Tired today. Woke up an hour early was just starting to doze again when the alarm went off. I'm glad I have these plans to go see Lisa, I don't feel much like writing today anyway. This getting to work at 7:30am is for the birds. No news of any interest so far today. Only message on my machine when...

Great Writing and Irrestibility
Andrews and McMeel rejected one of the ideas they were considering and Gallant rejected the whole batch I sent them. Some people just don't know great writing when they see it. Good day at work. I'm enjoying working there more as I get to know the people a little better. Still I probably won't be...

Thought I'd take a break from writing greeting cards to write in my journal. I've written eight new cards this weekend, two more and I can form a new batch. I haven't heard from landlady so I guess she either wasn't there yesterday or stopped by and decided everything was okay. Had a fabulous time...

Cleaning, Writing and Dancing
I put all my stuff in my room and cleaned the bathroom so landlady should be happy. I never rented from a private owner before and I don't think I ever will again. Apartment developments only care that you pay your rent and don't damage the place. Completed the reorganization of my greeting card...
