Words: 970
Today I wrote a response to one of Chuck Wendig's Flash Fiction Challenges. You can read it here.
Got the tax stuff off today (and accidentally left out the receipts for last year's home improvement projects—that siding replacement wound up costing almost $30 grand due to the other work that needed to be done, so you bet your bippy if we can write that off, we will; at least I remembered the forms for the tuition I've been paying for grad school) and I think have worked out some scheduling stuff that's come up with the podcast. With one voice who needs to travel considerable distance to record and doesn't drive, and the various scheduling issues (and, in one case, a pretty severe family emergency which of course must take precedence) for the others, it's been a challenge. Next time I think we're going to try to have the raw tracks all laid down before releasing any episodes; that way, it's all up to Mr. Darcy and how quickly he can do sound stuff.
Live and learn. But three episodes in, we've had over 1000 downloads! That's pretty awesome. And we're going to get better—which means, hopefully, bigger audiences in the future.
Tomorrow I'm having a spa night with Mama Von, and boy will that be nice. Hot water soak, tea, and conversation, oh yeah. My back's been sore this week, though kung fu and stretching have helped quite a bit. Still, thinking it's time to take up the yoga again. Jesse never had us do any stretching or flexibility work, and everyone I train with has joint problems. That'll be me too unless I do something. So, something I shall do.
Saturday I'm going to this, which should be (literally) epic. I hope so because I'm missing Paganfest to do it—they HAD to have their Seattle tour date the same night as this?! Oy. (Yes, I contemplated heading to Portland or Vancouver and catching the show there, but I am behind on both projects and sleep, and we're interviewing a candidate on Monday and as chair of the search committee I kind of have to be there, not to mention conscious and on the ball. All three candidates are exceptional and I'm going to hate having to tell two of them that we aren't hiring them.)
Speaking of behind on sleep, to bed with me.
