Back doing the work thing

So I had an enlightening visit with [livejournal.com profile] persephone100. As before, we had a lot of conversation, delicious food, and this time we read aloud from stories we're working on. And I colored my hair! Should have taken pictures. It's very vivid, a Tori Amos color red. *g* It's a true friend who lets you do that in her/his house, plus we're able to talk about all sorts of things, leading me to some self-awareness I'd not had before. The weekend was slightly marred due to some miscommunication between my parents and myself, but we're talking through things.

Now I'm back in the 'burg, focusing more on the database consulting project toward the end of the week, I do believe. The end of the 1994 conference video editing is in sight, and while I'll be much faster working on the one from 2004, I need to spend some serious time creating this database, it being a paying gig and all that. And I'm going to England in three weeks, still have half of the plane ticket to pay for, and don't want to be obsessing about money. So... lots of me working in Access over the next few weeks!! Speaking of that trip, I'll be able to visit Callum again and then will be going to Cardiff. I've had only the privilege of day trips to Wales, so this time I'm going to spend 4 nights there. Doing what I don't know, though I suspect I can get some tours to castles and the like. I don't suppose anyone on my flist is in Wales, are you??

For those who've been reading along on my original fic, sorry for the lag but I've been focused on the Hector/Lord John story and Wraeththu one. But there'll be another post soon.

I, too had an enlightening visit! And having you do your new red hair here was fun!:D And it turned out lovely!! Afterward I thought, too that we should have taken pics.

You still can. I'm sure everyone would like to see.

Glad to see good things on the work front for you and you have your trip to England to look forward to!

Hope we can get together again soon!

Yes, it's deliciously vibrant, to be sure. It makes me smile (usually to myself) when I look at it. I feel like a rebel, even though it's hardly a rebellious act!!

I'd love to see you soon! Maybe some time in July after England and your daughter's big day. :D Oh, and I mailed off a letter and the phone earpiece. (((hugs)))
