More Rain

It is actually raining today. Not misting. Not drizzling. Raining. Not pouring, though. Just a nice, steady, wet rain. There is water on the roads, making driving a bit dangerous--going slow and having plenty of time to get where I'm going will be good. :)

Work went well. I took on a new client for a couple of hours, a couple of days next week, as my current client is scaling back on her hours. It's all good. The client I've been interviewing with has yet to make a decision, so I get to tell the people at the Meet the Doulas Night tonight that I'm available starting in mid-March. Hopefully I get at least one taker for mid- to late-March. I also get to increase my rates, but not as much as if the mom I was interviewing with had signed on. Oh, well. There's a reason for it, I just can't see it yet.

I had a couple of really nice phone conversations last night. It's always nicer to have company over the phone than to try to pretend that a book on tape is company. Although the book I'm listening to at the moment is quite a good one. I've gotten really into the Chrestomanci series by Diana Wynne Jones. It has a fairly unique take on magic, and the books don't really rely on each other the way some serial books do, so you can read them out of order and they still mostly make sense.

Anyway, now I'm in the library, on their wireless Internet connection on my laptop, killing time between work and tonight's Meet the Doulas Night. Since I work more than half way to where the MTDN is tonight, so there was no point in going home in between.
