Employment? Maybe?
As of today I am on the payroll to be a classified substitute in one of our local school districts. Huzzah?! It's a good thing but baffling.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming
NaNoWriMo is done after 53,141 words. Now I will clean the condo. Now I'll get back to checking e-mail and Live Journal and other things that make the world go 'round ( Read more... ) -
Meep.
Today...packing. Tomorrow...marriage license. The day after that...puggles. Then some more random hours wherein more packing will take place, filling favour jars, maybe another nervous break down...then that wedding thing ( Read more... )
