I'm up very, very early. I was up and out of bed before 8 in the morning. Soon the van service will be here. I have to go to two copy stores and the mall. I need new shoes. Kenzie, my assistant whose dad died, is coming back to work for me for the first time since his death at 5pm. I'll be happy to see her and even happier she's opted to return to college despite her recent loss. For awhile, all of her friends (including me) were afraid she wouldn't.

Ho! Ho! Ho! I'm trying to get into the Christmas spirit. It helped a little bit today, when the van driver played Christmas music. I think I'd be more in the mood if I had a little more money to spend so I could kill off my "gifts remaining" list. Yes, I do know that's not what Christmas is about, but it's sure is fun

Hi, folks!

I just found out some depressing news. I worked over 45 hours on writing this week; I made a total of $12.97 for the week. That's approximately 28.5 cents an hour. I guess the term "starving artist" really does apply. Happily, at least I made more than Michael Vick, the dog fighting Atlanta Falcons quarterback, made from his jail cell. He gets paid 12 cents an hour. And for the entire last month, according to the article I read last night, he recorded his income at $12.89. This means that I make approximately, at the moment, four time what Michael Vick does. Well, then, I'm not a dog-murdering animal cruelty person, so I guess that can't be too good. Just a random thought I wanted to share with you.

It's snowing in PA. May is sick. I picked who I want to go home with me for Christmas. Soon, the snow will be here. I'm having a plum and pierogis for dinner. I've been muching snacks all day-pretzels, starburst, graham cookies, and watching the TV. I'm kind of tired. I've been posting and writing all day

I should just resign from the Green Party. I'm too busy now to deal with it. I love, love, love politics, but I'm thinking I might make more difference as a Dem. I've been thinking this for a while. It occured to me, when I missed a phone meeting. That's not at all like me. My subconscious must be telling me something.

I have been writing and writing and writing since I woke up. I only took an hour break or so because I had an interview. I like this person much better than my other person who applied. Sam was also going to hire her and feels the same way. I think now though as soon as I finish this entry I will take a break for a little while and make some phone calls and maybe go visit my landlord. I have to resign some documents. I hate my landlord and was delaying this as long as possible but I'm almost out of time. If I get the new apartment I'll just break the lease, I don't care remotely. She can be mad at me, it's not like she's my friend or that I'm going to see her ever after I get out of here.
