I Go to Work

Got my first check for freelance service rendered today. It was for a project that was spectacularly cancelled part-way through.

Soooooooooooooo, that's a little bittersweet. But still, MONIES!

*For optimal enjoyment, play this while reading. And dance.

The Great Indoors

I was thinking I hadn't left my apartment since Sunday, but I walked to and from the grocery store yesterday, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Back in the day, I think I was an extrovert. Can one become an introvert? It must be possible, because I've completely become one. Nothing is more soothing to me than knowing I don't have to be anywhere for X length of time. Not that I don't know how to party.

I know how to party.

I begged off, cancelled or just didn't show up for multiple things I was supposed to do this week.

I met my obligation tonight (hardly an obligation - met a friend for a beer), so I unlocked an achievement.

The greatest reward to going out? While out, a wayward client called about getting started on kind of a big deal project. 

I Love Ya, Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the day I'm going to do everything different. It was going to be today, but I overslept, so now it's tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the day I am organized and motivated and so, so on top of things. Tomorrow is the day I cook instead of ordering takeout. Tomorrow is the day I wake up at 8 and am brushed and caffeinated and showered and ready to conquer the world in the single number AM time units. Tomorrow is the day I meet new clients and pitch exciting projects and have all my proposals enthusiastically approved. Tomorrow is the day I receive checks from my delinquent clients. Tomorrow is the day that if I don't receive those checks, I follow up with said delinquents and demand my fair payment.

Tomorrow is the day I become a successful and fulfilled business lady.

In preparation for how productive and amazing tomorrow is going to be, today I am going to read the whole internet while simultaneously watching season 5 of The West Wing (already missing Sorkin), building a new Sims house, setting up Amazon Subscribe and Save for cat food and kitty litter and considering whether my cat objet d'art collection has yet established me solidly as a bona fide CCL (I hope it's true!).
