laramie

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 is becoming an issue again, with May approaching and insufficient funds for rent. I went to a job interview on Monday afternoon, and worked a one-day assignment through Kelly's on Tuesday. There's another, longer term assignment in potentia, but I'll have to interview for it if they like my resume; I've also called the lead Carolyn gave me at Ameriprise, to ask for an interview. Friday I brought a load of books to Uncle Hugo's and Edgar's and got a little cash that way.

Today I posted the following items for sale on EBay:

Kodak Advantix F310 Camera
Rarely used. Good condition.

Olympus SmartMedia 16MB memory card
Flash media compatible with digital cameras. My camera was stolen, and this was the unused extra memory card.

Ricoh KR-5 Super II Camera, with flash attachment and carry bag, excellent condition (rarely used).

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.
