i posted an update on the IndiegogoAudacious Year/Having My Cake and Sharing It Too and i was treating it like a blog. So i stopped and quickly went to practice transferring monies from Paypal to my bank account so i could go out and get supplies and saw that it can take up to 3-4 days for funds to be available.
Does anyone else remember the advent of electronic banking and e-checks and all that jazz?? When we were told/sold on how secure and easy and fast everything would be once we learned the details of the electronic wonders of going cashless and paperless??? Why is it that the money is GONE from my account prety much instantly in this system but there is still a lag of days for it to appear? The days the money spends in limbo land is when it all gets used by the corporate powers that be to combine these relatively small sums from these individual transactions and wheel and deal with them covering their cash flow problems while depriving us access to our monies. GRRRRR!!!!!
So i am SOSOSOSOSOSO SO OH so thankful for the people and the direct action of caring. The abundance, excess, barter and gift economies. i was able to bake last night because of a donation from Bex. He is moving from a house into a couple of rooms in a shared boarding room style house. And Bex donated what ended up being alot of stuff. Including Chef Josef (trader Joes's) Brand Coffee Cake mix (which happens to be vegan) and flour and sugar and carob powder and salt and other good stuff! i was able to bake up a storm last night in prep for tonight and i was such a calming experience.
Ok i have to go and pick up Sheep Shaped Muffin Tins from Jakey! Will post photos of the cakes a bit later and also hopefully images of the flyers i made yesterday for tonight!
