chocolatepotUghhhhh, I'm sick. Somebody handed me a germ and then my body just ran with it. Fortunately there is a three-day-weekend for coping.
Had my last day at MetLife. It was somewhat sad - it really is a good work environment, apart from the one person who couldn't stand me - but I'm happy to get back to a museum and a place with no corporate headquarters. And this time, I should be able to sit somewhere outside of the collections storage! Maybe in the archives, where it's warm!
Last night we all went out and met up with another family at this beer hall in downtown Albany. It was too loud and uncomfortable and I really wanted to go home. Then we went downstairs to Speakeasy 518, which you can only get into if you tell them you're "looking for refreshment". It would have been a lot more fun with friends instead of family plus strange family, but oh well. Being sick didn't help. Today I seem to be all alone, though, which is very nice.
Went out to the post office and sent off Creating Historical Clothes (yes, the giveaway was a while ago), a doll-clothes pattern book I sold on Etsy, and my proposal/query to Batsford/Anova. You're supposed to give them a SASE, but unfortunately you can't buy British postage here, so ... I gave them a SAE instead. Hopefully they'll still send me the rejection and not leave me hanging like QSM. (If I get nothing, I'm still not sure if I'm going to try some university presses or just go right to Kickstarter or Indiegogo.)
Dropped off $40 of change at the bank, which was a good feeling. Cleared off some space on the dresser and covered the cost of all the postage, plus a bit more.
There are writing things I should be doing, but I'm just so tired. This always happens after a night on cold medicine - the next day I have no energy. But I'm not blowing my nose as often as yesterday, so that's a good thing.
