For those of you wondering how I was living without any form of income, I can now happily say, I have a job. As a nanny. It's very part time, but the mom told me that she'd pass my info on, and I've got other kumquats on the fire anyhoo (not to say I wouldn't accept more kumquats if you've got any handy).
I'm only looking after 1 kid (4 year old), who seems super sweet, and the parents seem remarkably sane. Like people I'd talk to if I ever got out. And now that I'm working there, I'm really glad that I nice to their elderly neighbor who got all upset about my parking!
So, yay for me. Glitter and confetti to follow.
