Thanks for the lovely starter, chickadee. I've been buried in that dreaded voicework project for several days, with my laptop stuck in the studio so never even logged on here. Anyway that bit of sidework is finished but for the invoice, yay!
The sidework couldn't have come at a better time: my hours at main job were cut yesterday effective immediately through June...by about 50%, yikes. It's a corporate thing, not personal to me this time (thank you, God and PA!).
In a way I'm relieved: I've been feeling very tired and bored by my regular work lately. Although I'll have some ugly financial figuring to do things right, I'm looking forward to the break. Biggest risk is that without the pressure routine, I'll just slack into fullblown procrastination relapse. So with my HP's help I want to keep my PA routines: daily check-ins, chatting when stuck, applying the Steps and Tools daily. So for today:
Groceries
Invoice for sidework
Expense report (past due!)
Lunch
File ins claims
Clear out one category of backlogged emails (this task got alot simpler when my hours got cut! No one will expect me to complete all this in the tiny billable time remaining)
Walk dog
Make a nice dinner-in with J and watch a movie together (wow, I can relax!)
