Okay, so you all have my deepest apologies. And sincerest pleas. Apparently the fact that I am following the law and reporting the money that I make to unemployment has just screwed me over. They now need to know why I didn’t make money during certain weeks. Who it was that no longer requires my services. So I need to contact the last person who paid me before I didn’t make money for a week. And this has happened twice. Once at Furry Fiesta and at the beginning of may. So I need to find out who it was. Luckily I did in fact have the e-mail of one, and the other paypalled me. But seriously? Why do I need to inconvenience MY CUSTOMERS every time I miss a week of payment. So this is my apology. To those two customers, I will be contacting you within the next hour. You have my DEEPEST apologies, TWC will apparently be contacting you to ask why you haven’t bought anything else from me. I am SO sorry. I will also be sending you a thank you present for your patience.

And my plea.
I need to make some money.
any money.
Every week, or I will keep having to do this nonsense.  Read more... (348 words, estimated 1:24 mins reading time)

Day 3

From my balcony

Snow day! Yeah, so between the fact that is was sunday and, more importantly, it was snowing and Kaity isn’t a big cold person. We didn’t leave the apt today.  Oh well. So started w/breakfast – banana and tea- then watched some Dexter, had lunch (3 cheeses, an asiago, a gorgonzola… and a something else….) with prosciutto. Made a orange lemon bread, also nummy – the oranges here aren’t orange inside. They are pale pale red and yellow with dark red splotches. One we opened to juice was blood red. They are SO tasty though. Bread came out nicely. Had bread and tea, deveined shrimp for dinner, had dinner, skyped Johns mom and then watched more Dexter. Nice day, beautiful snow. Wish we had gone out Oh well. Sure we’ll get to go tomorrow.

Jounally bits! Day 1 (I’ll add pics later I promise!)
Anyhow.

Stunning Mountains

So I got the flights went well, they were good, but sheesh.  I didn’t get much sleep at all  I got about and hour of sleep, got to Amsterdam and was freaked when I realized I the plane was supposed to board in twenty minutes, and leave in an hour and a bit.  Well, actually boarded in about forty minutes and left in an hour, so whatever.  Sat on the plane next to an Ecuadorian man who let me lean over him to take pictures when I wanted and we communicated a little, he knew NO English, so it was up to my minimal Spanish.  And also next to a lady going to an optical faire (right, faire for glasses) in Milan.  She was from a place on the northern coast of south America, I forget the name.  She was quite nice though.

Got in and Milan… customs… either I got it WRONG or they just don’t bother with such things.  Walked out of the plane followed the signs for exit.  Followed the signs and passed though an area where it looked they could put a queue. and then I was out.  Read more...

AKA – 2 weeks of radio silence.

I never knew I would get to this point this year. I have to thank all of you who fave my work here. If I missed thanking a new watcher or a new commenter, then here, thanks to you as well! I will still try and respond to all comments, and will normally be able to thank watchers. But these next two weeks… if you find me I won’t say anything because I am going to be IN ITALY!!!!

I am so excited about this trip. I’ve never been and am all fizzy with nerves and happiness.

So thanks again EVERYONE for your support. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do.

When I get back, look forward to some cheap commissions to pay off the $$ I will be spending there/to fund my future con trips. I am hoping to make FA United, Apollocon, OklaCon, and maaaaybe Anthrocon… other than that it is up in the air.

Hope everyone is well!

Buona sera!
