Cheers to the Freakin' Weekend

I have a pretty sweet gig lined up, sitting in a parade home and chatting with visitors who stop by. It was busy this morning but has slowed down considerably, so I'm sipping coffee and eating the homemade sugar cookies I made last night. Yes, I can think of worse ways to earn a buck.

Speaking of bucks, I'm still torn on whether I want to spend 2,000 of them to get on a waiting list with CASI. I won't be able to decide fully until I know if I'm receiving any grant money. But here's what I'm thinking: If I don't get a grant, my budget will be low. Since CASI won't network with agencies whose fees are outside my price range, having a low budget means fewer agencies to network with. Which means paying $2,000 to get on what could be a very short list of agencies probably isn't a good use of money.

Until then, I eagerly await copies of my approved home study, and I will definitely start networking on my own and through a private attorney as early as this week. This week! Holy cow. So exciting.
