A Weekend Miscelleny

[hobgoblinn]

An exhausting weekend. Worked a Reds game in a concessions stand to make money for Wee Hob's 8th grade DC trip (next May) on Saturday afternoon. It was a very long day for way too little money-- in fact, as our group's registers/ area was short money/ inventory, we may end up having made not even the guaranteed 65 bucks for over 9 hours of work (prep/ game/ cleanup/ waiting around a couple of hours while their staff tried to reconcile our computerized sales with the money turned in. And you know, it's depressing, but I routinely make $100 bucks for a wedding, which is 2 hours, tops, even with a rehearsal thrown in.) Was in so much pain today afterwards I didn't really get out of bed until around 3:00, except to take mass quantities of ibuprofen. Wee Hob was unusually solicitous-- he knows he so owes me.

I didn't make Wee Hob take his ADHD meds today so I had the joy of dealing with an unusually squirrelly (even for him) kid at Mass tonight. I did get to see some friends from the May Festival rehearsing for tonight's performance. They do the Sunday night concert at the Cathedral Basilica, and they were running over their allotted time (as usual) as I was coming in to sing my night mass. Another couple of years, and I'll be up there again. Wee Hob was kind of impressed with the sound, so that was cool.

I also did some writing on ch 8 of In Loco. I'm reluctantly letting go of a couple of scenes I really liked that no longer fit in the story. I also watched some of the Privet Drive scenes from the various movies and discovered my version of their house and the movie version is a bit different (I was intending to model my story on the movie sets.) Ah well.

Finally, I wanted to pimp this post for friends not a member of riters_r_us or shared_wisdom. This is on finding and working with/ being a beta, but both communities have a lot of cool topics of interest to writers, that is, most of my flist. I just joined shared_wisdom. I stumbled across this new icon from lit_gal from this community. Go check them out.

Sorry to hear you might not be getting the money you were promised and that you're not feeling well.

Thanks for the link. It was a good article; I thought it had a lot of good points for the writer as well. <---See? I never could remember that semicolon rule before!

Hope you feel better.

*hugs*

I'm sorry that the weekend was difficult, and I'm sorry I missed your birthday -- may your next year give you (and Wee Hob) everything you need!
