Merry Meet,
I am kinda trippin at the moment…my stress level is
hitting overload…I thought this would be a quiet summer…had plans to relax and
catch up on some loose ends- so freaking much for that idea…it is not any one
thing or person, more like a string of events…let me fill you in on the
happening:
American Boudica is needing a promotions specialist…we
are coming out with the 4th in the Boudica series…Chris and I have
been working hard…none of this is done for free…I have 3 writers who want to
publish with us and I have not had 5 minutes to get with them…again more money…
In school residency is coming up…the hotel is paid
already, but the other money for my airfare went MIA…when I called to request
it from the bursar, I was told the whole of the disbursement was missing- oh
and BTW I was supposed to be making monthly payments and I was over $100 behind
+ late fees…WTF…that would mean I could be kicked out of school, I kept my cool
as sometimes paperwork gets messed up…after 3 days on the phone, we figure out
my finance officer is no longer an employee and she never sent me notice about
the fees or put through correct paperwork to the main office…it is all straightened
out now…school is very important to me…I guess because I am so close to
something I never thought I would get to be…this does not mention the amount of
papers needed for the current class…I have a 30 pager due next Friday…
In NPE, even though the first test is done there is still
much work to be done…I have been interviewing fabricators – metal, acrylic and
fiberglass…I know what I want and yes, I am aware of how much it will cost…I
have started working with a professional grant writer…also putting together my
solar thing…where did I put the sorcerer’s stone, I need to manufacturer time…
Litha is almost upon us and the Circle of Boudica is a
buzz with activity…we got the pool up and the tent in place…Walter will be at
work, but I got glow sticks for the pool and fireworks for fun…we dragged the
grill up…can you tell I am so excited…it is time to celebrate and enjoy summer…It
is with my whole heart that I wish for you the blessing of the season and pray
for the bounty to unfold before you:)
Girly Pirate is the new business…talk about a money and
time drain…I am aware that it will pay off in the end, but damb…I have been
meeting with a mentor from Score…a really great guy with good advice…lenders
are being jerks as I have student debt…how do they think I can pay this off
with no job…this does not mention that I come up with ideas that others are not
doing so permitting is an awesome thing…
I have been up for a few regular paycheck jobs…it has
been disheartening to be turned down…I have a great work history…an awesome
education…when I go to see who got the job, it is usually ten years younger
with far less education…as much as it hurts, I put my back into my own
businesses…something will break and I will be dammed if it is me
At the paddle we have been out and about…I got to spend
time in Sarasota, Siesta Key and up to Crystal River…we have also been part of
several beach cleanups…remember we only get one planet, it is up to each of us
to take care of it
One could feel like kicking in the walls…I chose to focus
my attention on a car that I may be able to win…Taylor was nice enough to come
by and do the video…I mucked it up the first time and he was nice enough to
come back and help me fix it…The yard is in full bloom, but camera is working
when it wants…the dogs have been encouragable and making me a little crazy…Dad’s
hawk has been tearing up his back porch, it is my feeling she is missing him…So
if it seems I am a million miles away, it is because I am…my head is just
swimming and it will not be long before it gets close to sane again…
Thanks for
understanding,
Dorraine
