I did well in Boston. I made a lot of contacts and no a lot more about grant making groups. For example, I didn't know that there's a gay and lesbian funder's group. Apparently, they only fund LGBT things. I wonder if there's a disabled funder's group? I'm going to look into that. I made a good... Sign in to see full entry.

I am so proud of myself.
I am already to go to Boston. I have my business cards, resumes, new socks, new hair clips, my clothes are packed and in the suitcase, and I have $74.00 to my name as well as more money I'm getting tomorrow or later on tonight whenever my mom puts it in so that should be fine too. I've booked the... Sign in to see full entry.

Up late Up early.
Yesterday, or should I say this morning, I was up until 4am listening to the Time Traveler's Wife on my Ipod which I've become obsessed with. You know how every once in a while you read those books that influence the way you write forever? The Time Traveler's Wife is just such a book to me. I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

Today.
I've recovered well from my ER experience and am having a pretty much pain free day to the degree that I wouldn't take pills if I hadn't been ordered to by a doctor. I also happily got more novel info from Debra Hart who is a famous person working in the area of higher education and people with... Sign in to see full entry.

Today
I went to the ER today, because my knee acted up again. it does bout once every two weeks. I'll be going along fine. Then bam, ouch! It's narcs and bed for a few hours.

Yesterday and today.
Yesterday I went to writing group having recovered enough from my period to deal with it. I wrote rough drafts of six poems (the most I've ever written at any one writing group). I like two of them. The other four I'm not very interested in but it was a fun effort. Then, I came home and posted the... Sign in to see full entry.

I did it!
I got up at 6am (actually it was 6:02am when the alarm went off). Then, Jay got me up for the first time ever with no one here to help him, and I was in the chair all ready to go when Jen came over. The van service arrived at 7:07am, and I got to see the chair guy at 8:30am even though my... Sign in to see full entry.

Today has been a long day.
I was all set to send my PCA to hell an gone Agawam (which for those of you who don't know what it means is an area way out in the woods) to retrieve my necessary monthly laytex glove order. This is because my delivery service never called and said when they were going to come and so it just shows... Sign in to see full entry.

Things I've done today that are productive.
I've called in all my meds, made arrangements to pick up gloves, had my sink fixed, (god knows how I got toilet paper down it), made arrangements for the weekend, sent out resumes and business cards to be printed, tried (emphasis on tried) to interact with the powers that be at NAMAC who seem very...

Today was pretty productive.
It's seven o'clock at night, and i haven't taken any pain pills. I just got off the phone with the person from NAMAC, the conference I want to go to where rich people give money to artists. They don't say that of course but that's what it is. Normally, I wouldn't go in for such a thing because I... Sign in to see full entry.
