I have had a busy few days and I will get to that momentarily, but today requires special recognition.

Today September 28th 2009 I quit my job. Now this is something that has been planned but because of complications with my wife’s pregnancy I had to do it earlier and more abruptly then planned. Now everything is ok, Nothing is wrong we are both home and everything is fine… Other then much anger, wrath and frustration at several members of the medical community, which I will not go into further for fear that I might write a tirade long enough to pass for an unabridged encyclopedia. Tomorrow we will go and see some more doctors and hopefully someone will help us and if it is discovered that there is a problem I am going to sue the shit out of today’s doctors.

But anyway. Life has not been going the best, the job I was on today was supposed to be the last one before I quit and it started a week late because of delays by the client, so because it started late it would have ended late, then once we got there it was announced that we were going to “just” do another quick little job in the area while we were there adding another couple of days to the job. not really acceptable but I went along with it because I did not agree with my bosses estimation of how long this job would take… but anyway, I digress.

During the last week or so I have stubbed my toe, dropped a draw on my leg breaking the skin a little and I have drilled the tip of a screw driver into two of my finger tips one of which so badly that blood was actually running down my hand. I do not think it is bad enough for stitches or anything but it will probably scar.

What else… My sister was in town visiting I had a big old long adventure riding on trains for the first time in years, it was fine… There were problems where my wife didn’t want me to go back to my hotel when I was supposed to which caused MAJOR problems because I was supposed to do laundry and go grocery shopping and I had planned to do a bunch of work on Babysitter. But my plans got changed on me and I had a whole new adventure which I cant be bother to go into now.

I need to get all caught up so here goes… I got back to my hotel at about 11 o’clock last night and by 11 o’clock this morning my wife was on the phone telling me that she wanted me to quit and come home right then. we talked it over thought about it, she called doctors, her mother, her sister and it was decided that I would quit right then and come home. so I did. and now begins what will hopefully be the start of the hay-day of Lost Gotham. HOPEFULLY I will now find the time to finish Babysitter, Roadkill, Random acts and Dark Genesis… as well as work on other newer and more exciting projects. anyway I guess that’s it for now. lets see how it goes.

Well September is over half gone, the world is turning at an alarming rate.

In the last 2 almost 3 weeks since my last post not much has happened. I have been dragged to work, all but kicking and screaming a bunch, bringing in a little money. I have made some plans. I have finally compiled a new preview disk of Babysitter and reviewed it at least preliminarily.

I guess now is as good a time as any to bring up some things which I haven’t been talking too much about for different reasons…

For those of you who don’t know my wife is Pregnant, Just about 8 months pregnant to be precise. She has a Cesarean scheduled for October 12th and we are very nervous and excited. So short of something happening early - on that date we should be welcoming into the world Alice Anne Michael.

What else…? Well I have officially handed in my resignation at work, I am just too burned out and unhappy there and with the baby coming we both feel that I should stay home at least for a while. It will be a big help looking after the baby allowing my wife to stay on track with her schooling and getting her degree and hopefully it will give me the time to properly pursue my artistic dreams. We will see how that plan works If all else fails I can look for a job locally where at least I will be home every night.

There is no news on Immigration, I am going to give it a few more days here and then I am going to contact my lawyer. Essentially it is just back to a waiting game but playing against the government you need to make sure that the ball is still rolling and that you haven’t missed something from them because they can and HAVE (Repeatedly) canceled our petitions because of a lack of communication.

On a personal note after many years without one I finally have been able to open another bank account, which is a first very important step on the road to rebuilding my credit and expanding my business to at least a self sustaining level. (Hopefully even a profitable one)

That’s about it, we are nesting here - getting the house ready for the baby, I am trying to clean and tidy up everything inside and out. I only have a couple of days here before I go back out on the road one final time and if I don’t have a plethora of chores to do when I get back I should be able to transition more easily into my role as a House husband and Artist.

As for an immediate plan for the future I would like Babysitter to be finished before October if possible, by the 12th Definitely. The sooner before Halloween the better so that I can get Babysitter out there in a somewhat timely manner. I have a handful of elements to try and film… I just need to get off my ass and do them. So why don’t I just see about doing that?
