Is it spring yet?
What I was going to post Wednesday night: "I think I have misread part of the budget requirements for the $120,000 three-year grant application that needs to be in Edmonton by Friday that I have just spent most of my waking hours working on for the past six weeks. AUGH."
Well. I had. But the person in charge of finances at the library is truly awesome, and she found a fix for me, and I did emergency revisions on the budget and triple-checked the proposal and fixed typos and formatted pages (and figured out how to insert different-sized sheets into the same document, yay section breaks!) and my partner incrime grant-writing went and ran around some more and got things re-signed and we printed everything and...
All nine copies plus the original fifty-four page document complete with signatures from six contributing and eleven supporting organizations arrived in Edmonton yesterday at noon.
I am ded from gah.
Now I can stop dreaming about this damn grant proposal and can forget about it until mid-May. (Seriously! A couple nights ago, I dreamt that I had budgeted in all the ingredients for banana bread. And then I thought, wait! We can't ask people to make banana bread! We're just going to buy it! I have to rework everything!)
I am SO taking some time off. In fact, I am taking the last week of March off and we are going to Victoria. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
troutkitty's working on a book set in Victoria. It started out as a ghost story in Salem, moved across the continent across the border, gained selkies and a whole lot more supporting characters, and I think the only things intact are the title, the main characters' names, and the ghost story part. Which is about typical. *g*) If anyone has any must-see suggestions or favourite restaurants, let me know!
And hopefully, we have hit our last cold snap of the winter and it will start to be springtime soon.
