I was invited to submit a bid today to do some contract grant-writing work for an organization with which I'm quite familiar. It's not so hard to guess which one, but I'll leave an air of mystery for right now.

I also was hired for an hour this morning to take pictures at the Tucson Birthday Month kickoff event.

I have to say I really appreciate folks throwing me odd jobs now. It almost makes me think that I could, perhaps someday, afford to really make this business a full-time (or really part-time but paying full-time) gig.

I also just signed a new lease this afternoon at my current place of residence, so I won't be thinking about moving again for another 7 months. So much for that idea, but I did need to cut costs, and this will save me $135 a month compared with the month-to-month rate I had been paying.

All things considered, I'm actually enjoying my unemployment so far. I give it another week or so before I'm totally bored out of my mind. Of course, by then I expect to have found a new full-time job. Yes, it's hubris, but I tend to aim for the stars!
