I am not a good blogger. I intend to write and then weeks will go by between posts. inspired by J’s sinkal cleaning binge I have been spreading the organizational virus to little pockets of the house hoping it will take hold and infect my whole life.  So far the results are a tidy and sparkly (relatively) bathroom and a kitchen table I can actually see the surface of.   I need more sleep.

Newspaper related xmas gratuities (e.g. non-taxable gifts) have started trickling in (it’s been a week and a half since I distributed xmas cards to my 200+ newspaper customers along with their sunday papers) but not as many as I expected this close to xmas.  With the economy so far down it’s not suprising that the amount people are giving is less, I expected that, but if I get significantly less money on averate from the people who do give, AND a lot less people send gifts then that’s really going to crimp my plans. So many bills so little money, I was hoping to get enough gift money for xmas shopping plus pay off some small debts. I did already make enough to do my xmas shopping, so that’s a good thing, I just don’t know how much more than that will be incoming.
