A day in the life of a jobless person

November 5th, 2009 at 02:05 pm

Just got some email from one of my oldest and best freelance contacts. He asked me if I'd be able to write a monthly real estate blog for him...just one post a month, on an ongoing basis.

Yes, yes! I said. Can't wait to hear the details.

I picked some lettuce in the garden this afternoon. the leaves are small, but the plants are still alive and well, though we've had some frosts already.



I took a long, 85-minute walk around town this morning, and picked up litter along the way.

Also did a load of laundry. I looked down my dryer filter, and yes, there was lots of lint stuck on the sides of it. I was able to get my hand down the chute and clean some of it, but i will need to get that brush that Lux told me about. Sort of trying to defer all nonessential costs, especially after being forced to spring ($73) for 2 ink cartridges for my Dell printer. Outrageously expensive. And it's the kind of expense i overlooked when calculating my unemployed budget.

    Nice regular writing gig! That is great, and it leads to a regular source of income, so that is a positive shot in the financial arm.
    That dryer lint, by the way, makes great tinder for starting a fireplace (or even a campfire). If you keep it dry, it's like insurance for a nice, toasty and FAST crackling fire! Good stuff for the coming season...
