Pulling Up the Big Girly Pirate Panties


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
