Busy Days Are Here Again
Ah, the life of a freelancer. After a week and a half of no substantial work, I got a message today that I would be receiving the topics for 45 articles to do. They’re not due until the end of the month, but I’m going to try to get them done much sooner than that.
The time I’ve spent not working was mostly spent worrying about not working and searching for more freelance gigs. I got one small gig that I completed in about 20 minutes, but that was it. Had I known about another one sooner I might have gotten it, but it was already filled by the time I sent in my sample. The guy said he’d let me know if anything happened. With my luck nothing will, but at least I know the guy liked my work.
I also managed to get some housework done that was long overdue. I didn’t get nearly everything that needed to be done squared away, but I put a nice big dent in it. I cleaned up Pumpkin’s room and threatened to ground her for 30 years if she didn’t keep it looking decent. She laughed at me, but I mean business this time. 
The odd thing is that after a long time with no problems, my wrist just started giving me trouble again. And I have been typing very little for the past week. It really started bugging me when I played cards over the weekend. Strange.
Anyhoo, I’m back in the saddle and I’m really happy about that. I hope I can bring in more this month than I did last month, and keep building up until I’m making a nice comfortable living. It would be nice to be rich, but I’m more interested in getting to do work I enjoy. As long as the bills are paid and there’s food on the table, that’s fine with me.
