Monday, June 18th, 2007 01:05 pmThus far today I have negotiated (in so far as there is any, which is to say, there isn't) with the good folks at Your Federal Gummint(tm), the Department of Mortgages Department. As expected, our monthly payment has gone up by about fifty percent, this being the reward for having achieved Gainful Employment, and which is still cheaper than paying for health insurance as a freelancer in the Great State o'Maine.
I've also chatted with the folks at the Grant Receiving Agency, who are confused, but perhaps not terminally so, fielded a buncha email, played flying mouse* with Mozart, took a too-brief and soon-to-be-repeated walk out in the blue, blowy day, and made a first pass at the mid-month SRM bookkeeping, which has become infinitely easier now that PayPal is providing Real, Grownup Financial Statements. More bookkeeping is in my near future, then -- to work! on Duainfey.
In the wake of our several Ebay auctions, ongoing tripjar and Fledgling donations, among other kindnesses, I just want to say -- you guys are swell, and we really, deeply appreciate your support. Group hug. Really.
Edited to add: A review of Gunshy, as seen in the Bangor Daily News. Scroll down the page -- waaayyyy down the page. Thanks to our own![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

*Flying mouse is a furry, featureless stuffed pillow about the size of a largish mouse/smallish rat, which is attached by a string to a thin, highly flexible plastic tube. There are small beads in the tube, so that it makes an enticing swwwwwiiiisssshhhhhh when you move it, and the "mouse" has a fluttery "tail" made out of four long, silky threads. The mouse can be played in the air or on the floor. Mozart adores the "flying mouse" variation, while Scrabble prefers the to play close to the floor.
