I've got 4 months to study for the next Scrabble tournament in Loveland, Colorado, which is happening in September.
In one sense that's a lot of time, but I know from past experience that time passes before you know it.
Unfortunately, since I am a freelance writer and have to work, I can't spend as much time studying as I would like, or need to.
However, I'll shortly be launching an IndieGoGo or Kickstarter project that will help me with that little problem.
But for today, the morning was wasted because I had to run around taking care of a legal issue. I'm garnishing the wages of an individual who took money from me to create a website, and then didn't do the job. (Yes, it was stupid of me to have paid her in advance, but I had thought that an advance payment would engender good will - hah!)
Anyway, I took her to small claims court and won and have garnished her wages. But here in Cheyenne - and elsewehere - you can only garnish someone's wages in increments of three months. That is incredibly stupid. A garnishment should last until the debt is paid off, not just for three months!
So today I had to go file a "Writ of Continuing Garnishment", and I still haven't completed that task after two trips into town because there's these little things they don't tell you until you return with your copies and find out, oh no, you've got to get a certified mail receipt, too, even though you haven't yet sent out the envelope to the (Insert appropriate Tournament Scrabble word here)'s
employer.
Oh! The word describing what this woman is, actually is in the regular Scrabble dictionary, just used as a verb, not a noun!
I am using it as a noun.
Anyway, I'm not going back into town again until tomorrow, because I have four articles to write for one client and at least one article to write for another client. If after those articles have been written I still have the mental energy to learn some words, I will do so.
