I don't think they believed me when I said I was hanging around the emergency room to get ideas for get well cards. Oh well, I guess it takes a creative person to understand the creative process. It wasn't working very well anyway, but I think it might have if I had been there longer before they... Sign in to see full entry.

I feel a lot better today. I felt like crap, physically yesterday. When I feel well physically, things seem to go better whether they really are or not. Walk felt good this morning. I'm definitely planning to continue to walk on days I don't umpire. Speaking of umpiring, it looks like I might have a... Sign in to see full entry.

I was almost ready to wrap it up for today and go to my game when I remembered that I hadn't even signed in on blogit. And I used to be so addicted. Feeling a little sleepy, although I'm sure I'll perk right up when I start umpiring. This is the first time I've umpired back to back days. Got two... Sign in to see full entry.

Got my umpiring check today, sooner than expected. I can feel myself beginning to turn the corner. Once I get my tax refund, that should get me through June and by then I'll have a part time job plus I will probably have sold more cards. Left a message for the lady at Sheppard-Pratt today. Should... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm fully recovered for the time being. My body just doesn't seem to like sudden changes in temperature. Not a good thing here in Merryland. Might have to consider moving elsewhere if nothing else works. Selling that card to Oatmeal lifted my spirits. So I either sold one or two in May depending on... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling a little better today than I was yesterday. Submitted a resume to Humanim where I used to work for a part time job. Just doing that helped. Later I'll probably look into temporary office work. Really I just need a little boost until I can get a part time job. Once I do that, the part time... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm feeling discouraged. Haven't sold a card all month although Andrews and McMeel have a total of nine they've expressed an interest in, who knows when I'll hear about those or how many they'll actually buy. Meanwhile my plans to umpire 5 days a week or so has fallen apart. All of the sudden they... Sign in to see full entry.

Turns out the writeforcash website isn't what it's cracked up to be. You can't just write about any old thing, they assign you what to write. I'll do the things I signed up for but I'm not sure I'll go any further than that. Better to spend my time on greeting cards, much more income potential.... Sign in to see full entry.

That writeforcash website sounds promising. Sounds like a place I can get actual money for my writing rather than just the pennies I get from blogit. Of course they don't accept everything but it sounds like they'll take anything that's decently written. If my essays aren't worth $10-$15 I ought to... Sign in to see full entry.

Almost recovered. I don't usually get "Led Zepplin" this late in the spring. I've been getting this virus since the early 90s now, no one else has had the exact same thing that I know of. Maybe I invented a new illness. It should be named after me. There's got to be something I'm doing, or more... Sign in to see full entry.
