Just another day in the life

I want to write a long and very interesting blog tonight but really I’ve just had a day of work and play and heat. It is 10:58 PM and 27°C in my home because I was enjoying myself too much trying to plan a vacation in August with my bubble extended family and didn’t come home to cool the place down. I want to stay up late enough to see the comet that is streaking across our sky but I don’t know if I can do that either because I’m tired. Mondays always come with a lot in bookkeeping world because people do things or think about them over the weekend and then present them to you in a way that is urgent on Mondays. Slowly over time I am notifying my clients at my past firm I that I no longer work there and I’m contracting for them and that I’ve chosen to keep them and the response is amazing. There is a world of support and cheers to stepping out on my own again. Some of my previous coworkers have been equally supportive and informative and gracious and kind the way everyone should be. I am still there to support their team and assist where I can but I also must be honest when I can’t because my word means everything to me and I try hard not to over commit myself. I know that I will do that no matter what. My dad crashed his plane while my partner and I were in the middle of building a deck as a surprise for a man’s wife at their vacation trailer. I became obsessed with finishing the deck for her even though laying under it every whirrrr of the drill felt like I was building my own coffin. That deck was built with tears and love and I hope that they have many happy memories on it. But my whole point is that once I commit to some thing it is very important me to finish it. If I quit something I can promise you there was a straw that broke the camels’s back. It did not come easily.
