Good news

Well, we have a conditional offer on the house in Ottawa. It's less than we wanted, but it's a buyers' market at the moment. Soon, I will be in a much better financial situation. Finally.

I managed to get hold of the winners' entries for the Random House competition for the last two years. After reading the poetry and prose, I felt completely inadequate. They are absolutely brilliant and I stopped working on my entry because of it. I made the error of telling a co-worker that I had stopped, and she walked up one side of me and down the other; ordering me to get myself in gear. She boosted my self-confidence summat, so I'm back to it.

I spent about four hours last night, after everyone had gone to sleep after Boat, working on the poetry.
