I'm Off Today.
It is an unusal day at the job site and I am not needed so I used a sick day with prior approvial fully intending to use the day for medical appointments. I intended on seeing the eye Dr. however he isn't in on Thursdays. I was going to try to make an appointment with the dermatologist but I decided I would use the day to catch up on paper work and just relax. My arms and back have been bothering me.
The Disney company is offering me $300 for one of my photographs. I have already agreed to this. It will be in a magazine in December. I am expecting bad news that the original file of the photo is too small and cannot be used. I have sent the photo and am awaiting for a response. I was told I would be sent tax forms and vendor forms and need to submit an invoice. This is the first photo I've sold, if it actually transpires. This is the fourth or fifth time I have been approached to use my photos and the first time I've acted.
It is a photo of a Christmas ornament and is to be used in some type of parenting magazine for some article.
I am expecting it to fall through, and was even a bit worried about writing it here as if that would somehow jinx it and make it fall through.
Anyway, I'm a little disoriented today. I was dinner for some tiny vampires in the night, misquitos and awakened at the stroke of midnight itching on my right shoulder and left ear with those tiny vampire bites which I am extra sensitive too. I had to take Benedryl again and so much for waking up terribly early and doing many things with vigor.I am groggy and totally unmotivated. In fact I feel like just going back to bed.
I'll not let it be a wasted day though, whatever happens. I'll do something productive... I think...

good for you O ! here's hoping it's a done deal i would like to do that with some of my picKs love beck
congrats on selling the photo. and getting so much for one (although i don't know what the running rate for selling photos is this sounds like a bunch to me).
That is so cool about your photo! High five. I felt so shitty yesterday but still accomplished this huge list. Just got out and did it. I have to tell you though, staying in and being unable to face things has been a very normal thing for me these days. I have called several counselours and heard back from one. Made an appointment for after the sentencing next week. Hope your day goes well and I think that is so cool about your photograph. One of mine was used in an online tourist thing for Monterey last year, but no money was made.
well, at least you produced a couple posts - that's something productive - good luck on the picture sale! peace, Al
yay! a photo published and paid for! whooo! we usually get to see 'em for free here. i'm sure it WILL happen
