I think that the hours between being notified that my financial aid has been released to my bank, and the bank acknowledging that I actually have money, are some of the longest hours I've ever experienced.
I have a few things I need to buy here in Tucson, but I can't until I have money, which might be anytime between tomorrow morning and Wednesday morning. I've told ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
nytemiste that I'd come up and visit her in Colorado, but I don't have gas money until the deposit is credited to my account, either.
So... I'm in limbo. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

Do you have any interest in attending an ADF festival in the Tucson area in May? My friends at the Sonora Desert Grove are putting on Desert Magic again. There will be a large heathen presence. Thought you might like to come.
If so email me at madannerack @ yahoo dot com and I will forward info on.
ADF is an international Indo European Pagan organization of which I am a member. They promote scholarly research into reconstructionist religions and have a strong focus on public ritual (ie serving the folk) They have very strong roots in Celtic trad so they call themselves druids and their little groups around the world are called groves. But their members follow several IE paths including Heathenry. Several members of the hosting grove are heathen so it tends to be a good time for Heathens to gather and have fun.
The website with info is here...http://www.ssg-adf.org/desertmag
Lafayette is slightly North West of Denver Metro, and we are about an hour, hour and a half south of Denver.
If you do the New Mexico Highway Route (North to Flag, 40 east out of Flag and then 25 North from Albuquerque) then you'll be driving right through Colorado Springs on your way to Lafayette.
Melissa will be working at least some of the days I'm in CO, so maybe I'll just add a side trip to come down and say hey... you're not working during the days, right? Are the urchins in school?
Well, technically, except for the occasional daycare I provide to a local family, I'm not working at all, and it is just as easy to duck out of watching any children but my own. I've nearly always got a bit of house work to catch up on, but I'm also very nearly always here during the day.
Wynter and Cheyenne are in half day pre-school at the moment but Nevaeh is at home with me all day.
So really unless it is grocery day I am only gone for short periods:
From 1130 to 1230 I'm getting the girls from school
I sometimes take the kid who rents from us to his job - if he opens that happens at 0930, and if he closes at 1545.
If you can't fit it in the schedule that's cool too. I'm still planning on an Arizona trip eventually. It was a shame that the gas prices kicked the hell out of my bank account this last summer, but eventually I'll have money again.
