Revisiting Standing Bear
Sep. 5th, 2008 06:44 pmTHURSDAY
I made a quick run for first meal at Taco Bell then started work on the Standing Bear transcription. Doing this work again really made me homesick for the job I had twenty years at the television department at University. Part of the time Mr Holland's Opus was playing on television, a real tear jerker, and at the scene where his job was cut I was close to losing it. Did get the whole tape completed and the work and invoice emailed so there's a check I'll see in 4-5 weeks. Hopefully by that time I'll have full-time work and it can be 'extra'.
We've both been breaking down 3-5 sample books each evening; we don't want to do so much at a time that we 'wreck' our wrists and hands so this will be a recurring thing for weeks!
FRIDAY
Up and out early. Stopped at Sash's to pick up 50th reign 'passports; to stitch tonight so they'll be ready to take along next weekend for Coronation. Picked up Leofwyna for an afternoon of rummage sales; she's still looking for glass. All I found was a large scrap of brown 'wool' I can use for Saxon apron and overgown trim. Did get half the passports done tonight; plan to finish tomorrow.
