Sunday news you can use

… okay, maybe not. But I have been working as much as I can in between infestations of carpenter ants. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't run across my keyboard and stuff. But I feel good knowing that they are probably damaging the walls (I rent – not my problem!). They've taken Sunday off, I guess because I've been able to work all afternoon without interruption.

I spent most of yesterday packing up the office. I don't know why I bothered to unpack some of that stuff in the first place. All I did was clutter up my closet for nine months, then put it right back in a box. I promised myself I would sort through it all first, but I had my mom and dad helping tape the boxes and they were on a schedule... so I guess I'll have to sort it at my next destination.

It actually reminds me of a poem I wrote about moving. I'm not sure if I ever finished, but if I did I might be inclined to share it. And speaking of sharing... does anyone publish pictures at Triond? I've noticed that my picture make very little money compared to anything else. I don't know if I have the wrong keywords to get them noticed, or if its just that the ads on Picable pay less. Anyone have an idea?

Okay, back to work. I want to earn a bonus next weekend: no work for 48 hours!

Back to work

This new schedule is working out well for far. But I shouldn't get excited -- I'm only 3 hours into it so far. I've done some articles, and I'm getting ready to write a few more that I planned this weekend. The articles are for a contest, but can still earn me the normal residual prices. That means the articles have to be superior. I have a great idea, I'm just not sure about the picture. My pictures haven't been turning out too well lately. I guess I'll work with it and see what I can do. I still have a few hours before lunch. :)

Birds!!

If anyone wants to check out the pictures of the cardinal that lives in the tree next to my dining room window, go to Picable and you'll find those pictures (among others). One or two look a little funny because I have plastic over my windows to keep out the winter chill (which it does NOT do). Enjoy anyway.
