On why LiAnn has been oh so quiet these past few days

Please pardon the gaps...

The site is in mid-migration now (manual migration of over 7,000 entries, so there's a lot to be done.) The entry stubs are created for older content, but for the most part, the actual content isn't there quite yet. I am working on it. Unfortunately I have no ETA. But feel free to link to any page! When the content does get populated, the URL will stay the same.

On why LiAnn has been oh so quiet these past few days

Hello all,

I did have stuff to post this week. I was going to do my makeup this morning and post a look. And then, something twinged.

My lower back hurts. I am unable to sit, I can't stand for very long, and when I do stand, I have to hold myself very carefully or *twinge* and more pain. I think this may be stress - I was offered a copywriting contract two weeks ago, but it's a small company and the person who tendered the offer is new and doesn't know the correct hiring procedure. And the person who would know, the head of the company, is out of the country. (No, I'm not sure when this person will be back.) As a result, I've put in just over ten hours of work - though I've only submitted about 1.5 hours of it to the employer until I get the properly signed contract, one that doesn't have the name of someone who hasn't been at the company for a year - and I have no way of getting paid. This job looked interesting, and if it does work out, I think it will be fun and will let me use an underutilized skill (and earn more income, that's a plus)...but I want proper legal protections for both parties before I submit more work. So that's stressing me out big time.

I have to prepare my HOA's annual budget report. We've got a property management company, and they crunch all the numbers; but I'm presenting at the HOA meeting in just under two weeks, and that's stressing me out. I also wanted to put together a list for next year's board, of projects that I'm willing to help out with…and I can't really concentrate to do that, so that's stressing me out.

This is the last week of the site-and-owner birthday contest, and I wanted to post more - a mascara review, more looks, my weekly neighborhood roundup - but that didn't get done, and that's stressing me out.

So if everyone could send me just a tiny bit of good mojo, maybe some of this stuff will blow over. (I know it will all eventually work out. These are important, the job most of all, but there's not much I can do to get that moving except invoice them for the time I've already spent and the work I've submitted, which might annoy them. And I don't want to do that, because this is an interesting opportunity.)

So…good wishes? *meep*?
