Had trouble getting to sleep last night despite being way tired. Woke up this afternoon out of a strange dream: I was in some military organization, and an officer or instructor or somebody was running a group of us through a test where we had to dismantle and reassemble all our camera gear. I'd just finshed putting my Pentax K-mount stuff back together, all nervous about the test, and the officer looked at it and said, "Okay, now do your screwmount gear!" I woke up just after I finished putting the Spotmatic together.

I feel like I haven't gotten anything done today and the day is just slipping past, but in actuality I've been busy. It's just all been on the phone. Spoke to the mortgage banker about details of the loan I'm trying for and the application process and all; spoke to my insurance agent to report Tuesday's accident and to get information on the cash value of my life insurance policies (which I'll need when I visit the mortgage banker); also bought renter's insurance because a) it's been on my to-do list for about a dozen years and b) I'd like my homeowner's insurance to be with the same company as my car and life insurance ifwhen I do manage to buy the house, but my insurance company isn't accepting new homeowner's insurance policies after the end of June (but they can convert an existing renter's insurance policy into a homeowner's policy after then); paid my ISP bill; tried to get ahold of Tales From The White Hart to find out whether they have enough copies of the Homespun Ceilidh Band CD, Spinning Reels; and am about to deal with various other bills before running a load of CDs to a friend to take to Baitcon with him.

BTW, I thought it was pretty cool that someone who bought our CD the weekend before last is already asking when our next one is coming out. That's definitely a feel-good kind of thing to hear.

Now I just have to get enough of this little stuff out of my way so that I can get some paying work done. :-( I've basically lost half of June in that regard, which is a scary situation money-wise.

Oh, and I have to find out when my mom would be able to meet with the mortgage banker. The banker says she thinks I can actually by the house by myself (assuming a few thousand dollars gift from Mom to deal with down payment, closing, inspection, etc.), but we might need her as a co-signer after all.

I feel drained. Also nervous (money stuff does that to me). And achy. Can I go back to bed now? (Actually, I just might.)

I wonder how many weeks it'll be before I get around to watching the television shows I taped while I was in Peoria.
