Sep. 16th, 2005 01:39 pmToday has so far been my most productive day since the onset of my gainful unemployment. I got up at 7 AM, threw my hair in a hat, got dressed, collected Aunt Tudi and Shmoop and arrived at the vet's office by 7:35. We dropped off Shmoop for her spaying appointment and headed for Wally World. Wally World in the early morning is even more pleasant than the late morning! We were in and out by 9:30 and home by 10 AM.
By 10:30, I was outside mowing the grass for the first time in about 3 weeks (it didn't look horrible, but it was pretty bad I'm ashamed to say). I didn't use the lawn tractor; instead, I used the push mower because it has mulching action. By 11:15, I'd finished up and was jumping in the shower.
A swift clean up and some makeup by 11:40, and Aunt Tudi and I were heading back out the door to meet up with my ex-fellow serfs for Judy's birthday/farewell dinner. I followed some folks over to Charlie's Barbecue off highway 14 and we all partied down for about an hour. The Feudal Mistress was at the other end of the table from me, so I was unable to vent any wrath down upon her. Other than that, it was really good to hobnob with my homies. Everyone was keen to hear how I was handling being unemployed. I told them how wonderful I felt, that I felt 10 years younger and the hump on my back had mysteriously disappeared!
Right now, I'm home, but it's merely a pit stop. We're about to head back out to Sparkle City to the One Stop place where I'll file for school benefits. After that, I'm heading back home to work on the Shriekback and Barry Andrews websites. By then, I'll be ready to vegetate a little more. Whoooo!

Sep. 16th, 2005 01:56 pmMy severance money has been directly deposited into my checking account and I just paid off 1 of the four debts I have left with some of it. The second debt will be toast by the end of the month and the other two will be paid via insurance for as long as allowable, then I'll pay off the balance probably after the first of the year.

As promised, I have updated both sites with the new info from Barry. When I make a promise to him, I try not to renege on account of it distresses me that he would be displeased with me in any way (that pesky phobia). Shriekback.com seems to be kaput and verklempt at the mo. Dunno what's up with that, but I have reached out to Derk so he can eyeball the situation. I'm fairly concerned though.
I would ask that any Shriekback fans on my friends list please make a post announcing the new album or link to The Barry Andrews Resource Center to let others know of the pending release of "Cormorant." It was the Shriekback fan base that compelled them to release "Having a Moment" as well as this new album, so we need to keep the momentum going. Also, if you have a website wherein it would be appropriate to plug "Cormorant," that'd be great, and deeply appreciated by both Barry and myself. If you decide to link up to the announcement or plug the album, please comment here so I can let Barry know you have his back.
WORD TO YOUR MUTHAH! Or something like that!
