today I'm doing Charter of Rights and its interpretation by the courts. (the reasonableness yardstick. It's reasonable for a person to be patted down before boarding an airplane. It's not reasonable for the police to do a body cavity search on a routine traffic stop. Get out of the car, honey.)
I also went downtown and conducted most of my business, and asked Serra if she'd like to come and work with me again. So all is underway.
The dogs are drinking my coffee.

woohoo. fell asleep reading about CSIS today... then the dogs started barking at the mailman. they're good for keeping me studying, if it looks like I haven't moved in a while they'll sometimes come and gratuitously lick my face. Ya still alive? Good.
The phone calls have commenced for my new venture. I love this phase... more than anything, I think, the gearing up of a new business. Last time, with the coffee shop, I was frightened too, wondering if I could pull it off by myself (literally alone, and I lived in a campground for three weeks, slept in my car until the house was vacated by the last owners) but this time I know I can, and there shouldn't be any surprises. Business licence, phone, insurance, bank account, gonna do all that tomorrow. I didn't realize until today that I missed all that. The details. About a month ago, I was downtown and saw one of my old customers, and he said, "what are you going to do next?" and I mumbled something non-committal and he said, "You'll be running something else, pretty soon, I bet."

hey, look, puppies!
So. I got the job with the lottery corp. Very cool. Now I can quit whining about being out of work. I start on the 23rd, which gives me three weeks to put as much of these correspondence courses in as possible. so what am I doing? eating chocolate and surfing the net... also the police organization I volunteered for called me back today, so all in all pretty good. and my little brother in Australia called too. He's seen koala bears. He's moving to Melbourne. (are these facts related? maybe. he seems quite worried that koala bears may choose to drop on him and rip all his skin off. he's heard that's what they do...)
