Let's get the panicking over with first:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AH! AH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Whew! Onward to...
1) Painting:
I just got the Girl Genius #11 schedule from Kaja Foglio. She wants the final painted files in by the end of March.
Problem: We're going to be moving at the end of March. And even before we move, we have to pack. AND find a new apartment.
Sonofabitch. AAAHHHHHHHHH!!! I can't see myself getting much sleep in the next three or so weeks...
2) Packing:
None of it is done yet. Not even the basic go-through-the-apartment-and-throw-out-the-stuff-we-don't-want-to-pack stage.
AHHHHH!
3) Parsing:
Apartment-for-rent listings, that is. Yesterday, as so often happens between my husband and me, we spontaneously found ourselves moving in synch without having to discuss it -- and started combing through apartment listing wholesale. We came up with 42 apartments that could suit us.
Now all we have to do is find one that will take us in, given that part of the reason we're moving out of our current place is because we couldn't keep up in the rent payments (thank you, Unnamed Comics Company, for stiffing us on a $3000 US cheque) and have negotiated a settlement with the landlord that has us out of this place by the end of March.
(One of the other reasons was that, on our end, we're fed up with the lack of maintenance on the property; for example, we've had a repaired wall that they promised to paint 6 years ago, and still haven't... plus broken light fixtures... it will be good to move on to a better managed property. Nonetheless...)
AHHHHHHHHHH!
4) Planning:
Beltane in the Park on May 2nd 2004... I'm supposed to be co-running it this year with another local Pagan, H., but as anyone who's been reading this journal knows, I've had trouble just keeping on top of my symptoms these past few months. I have to give H. a call and start the ball rolling. Fortunately, we have a suitcase full of ritual robes, and several people I know have already offered to take places on the ritual team.
Let's see, we need:
High Priestess
High Priest
North Quarter Caller
East Quarter Caller
South Quarter Caller
West Quarter Caller
Plus a ritual script, plus ritual props. I DO have a few ideas for those -- we'll have to run with what we have on-hand, since I can't afford to buy anything new at the moment.
Plus I'm still not sure exactly where the Maypole ended up, or how we're going to get it to the site, or where we're going to store it once we get it there. PLUS we have to have streamers made up (are any left over from last year? I certainly can't afford to buy new ones...). Plus... plus...
Okay, back to panicking:
AHHHHHH! AH! AH! AHHHHHHHH!
(runs away screaming...)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AH! AH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
