This last week was all about MiniCon recovery. I caught up with neglected chores like laundry, shopping, dishes and general clean up - and I put away all the gear and goods that I'd brought with me to the convention. I also wrote up a detailed convention report, posted previously.

I've made several new single-loop bookmarks, using the lovely laboradorite beads I got from elisem at the convention.

!!Cabinet Des Fees wrote saying they'd like to use my Rapunzel drawing in their next online issue!! - it doesn't pay, but is a good forum to show my work.

( Money issues again, Cameras listed on Ebay, etc )

Last week and this morning I've continued to keep Sam's website updated. (She's now offering quiche, cookies, pilaf and pasta salads as well as her yummy homemade soups.)

Friday evening I attended the gaming party, and Saturday participated in a lively filk circle - we were joined by a couple guys who heard about us at Minicon, and 'Sandman' (one of the regular gamers, a math teacher by day) on guitar.

Sunday afternoon I took cari_rose out to a study/lunch (I did a crossword puzzle and worked on a survey I'm planning to post on my LJ). Her test is coming up on Wednesday and she's very tense about it. I wanted to be supportive. It was such a gorgeous day that we sat for a while in a small park in her neighborhood while we worked.

Finally! I made it to the tax clinic for small businesses and my 2005 taxes are now filed! Yay! (Follow-up: take the record-keeping for small businesses class at WomenVenture; get renter's credit form from land ladies.)

The result: I'll get enough of a refund to cover rent for May!
