[Friday survival post]

[tomakeanoffer]

So, my mom is here until Wednesday, so don't mind if I don't get to comments this go around. However, I do have my cats back, which is amazing and I could not be happier about that.

So, if you are not familiar, this post is
• for being excited about the things you've done this week
• for asking for help if you need it
• for venting about anything that mind need to be flailed over (but do let us know if you just need to vent, or if you'd like advice).
• for showing off something cool you've done/made/experienced this week.
• for being generally enthused and excited about things that have happened.
• for just being thrilled that you survived.

Come drop into the comments and let us know how you're doing and how things have gone.  If you need cheer leading or anything, feel free to say so, or if you just want to vent and don't want any advice or anything, let us know.

I do ask that if you have any triggering topics, that you mention them in the subject line, or first line of your comment. This is just so people can make informed decisions on what to read and keep everyone okay. <3 Thank you so much.

Phone interview this morning for temp job. I think it went really well. (Good thing it was a phone interview, too, my face did the bug-eyes astonished emoji when she said the pay rate. Or rather the ballpark pay rate, since usually they go through a temp agency for this thing and she didn't actually have that number to hand. And it is probably good she didn't see that.) She said she needs to make a decision today, so I am hoping to hear in the affirmative in the next few hours.

I AM MOOOOVED. \o/

Today I went to a Native artists panel at Pacific Northwest College of Art and so fascinating y'all. In particular I want to pepper this Navajo/Diné weaver with questions. Haven't figured out what I can ask without sounding asshole appropriationist, though.

I'm gonna finish the square that's on my pin loom in a blue cotton thread that's too small for the loom, which I'll use on my Athena altar somehow. And then I'm gonna weave a bunch of squares with worsted wool yarn and sew them together into purses. The kit I bought is a blue-purple-reddishpink variegated, and that purse will be for me, and the instructions will also serve to make a baby-blue-and-lavender one for my mother. Since her birthday is seven weeks off, and all. And I'm going to photodocument the crafting process for that and anything else I work on in the next six weeks, because Nov 8 is Khalkeia and I'm running Hellenion's online festival.

Congratulations on moving!!!!!! \o/

As an east coaster, Native art fascinates me too. I'm so glad you got to see it in person. The website Beyond Buckskin is also a good place to buy Native goods from Native people, without having to worry about appropriation, if you're interested.

I have not heard about the job. So either I have not got it or they didn't decide yet in which case I hope to hear Monday.

...I don't want to apply at Target type places, y'all...
