It has been a week of job rejections and interviews and financial anxiety and other fun stuff. Jana's event at Dancing Bear got canceled due to potential COVID exposure (not ours), so we both had crap Fridays. But today brought better things in the form of a reprint acceptance, a lovely lunch with friends, a nice trip to the farmer's market and some time at Twin Cities Pagan Pride where Michael and Sherry Merriam were kind enough to put out some Queen of Swords Press titles for sale. Everyone had a good day and decent book sales, so good all around.

Other stuff:
- Submitted another story.
- Worked on more publicity-related things for Foxhunt and Obviously, Aliens.
- Met with my intern, Shannon, who's back for the Fall (yay!).
- Talked to yet more recruiters, had another couple of interviews and applied for multiple jobs. Also, finished a nonIT resume and sent it out a few places.
- Saw The Legend of Shiang-Chi and liked it.
- Spent Labor Day in a canning haze - spaghetti sauce, apple sauce and salsa. Then roasted a tray of beets for funzies.
- Mailed copy of Foxhunt off to the Library of Congress (obligatory when you get a catalogue number).
- Saw Ladyhawke at the Parkway. Best line from the audience: "But what if she wants to be a hawk?" A question we did not ask in 1985.
- Went to see "The Unplugging" performed by New Native Theatre. This was an interesting play about two middle-aged women, cast out of their community for being too old and forced to make their way through a post-apocalyptic landscape (after everything has "unplugged"). It was staged in a field in one of the burnt out parts of Lake Street that is not yet being rebuilt and was very well done.
- Wrote a lengthy Twitter thread about small press finances and, for the first time in 5 years, met our baseline goal for monthly support on Patreon. Thank you, lovely people, for making that happen!
- Spent time with friends and watched sundry things.
- Next up: tackling the project backlog.
