You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Well, then you can just scoop the piles of paper into a box for later perusal. Just don't forget the perusal later.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hooray! I just got my first money in at this job! Granted, it was a renewal, but I had a meeting with a board member, and they increased from last year. PHEW.

Someone is starting a Time Bank in my community, and I just signed up. [link] I am really excited about it - both the community-building aspects and the idea of having someone who is not me and my husband to help kick-start projects around the house and yard. I mean, I am much less likely to put stuff off if someone is coming over to help for an hour or two, right? And I listed myself as good at doing things like setting up LibraryThing for churches and organizations, organizing, and painting, all of which would be kinda fun to do.

Yay money! Good for you! Renewals aren't automatic things, so you did good work, especially to get an increase. Good job!

I really like the Time Bank concept.

I've never heard of Time Banking before, but I just read that website and I really like the idea!

Time banking sounds interesting.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Good stuff for a Friiday--Grace mobile, Jesse looking Wonder-ful and getting $$$, and Jessimoon's birthday!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There are doughnuts around here somewhere. I'm going on a hunt.
