    Done with my deadline!

    I've been working on five grant applications over the past few months. The last two weeks I've hardly been outside, working weekends and nights. I literally have not been outside for three days!

    Today, the last two were FINALLY finished and submitted to the gov't agency. It's the first time I've used their digital submission system. The first three went off without a hitch because I submitted them a few days early, but these last two...4 hours today of computer error messages! The deadline is at midnight tonight. I further reduced the file size and away they went. Next time I'll know that from the start (although they were originally well below the cutoff of 10MB).

    Whew! Tomorrow it's a haircut and a bike ride and a beer (I'd have one tonight, but my fridge is empty.)

    Now I can start planning that house stuff!

    Holey moley! I have done grant writing before - I'd rather poke my eyes out.
    What do you do for a living? (If the answer is grant writing, well, just play nice ).
    Yippee!
    Enjoy the breather.

    I used to do grant accounting. It's possible that's worse than grant writing.

    Glad it's over for you, Tulip! Get out on the bike; float on the 'rivah', and enjoy planning all the wonderful changes you are going to make in your new/old house!
