This was a special Monday. It was the day I began charging out on my own terms, no longer contracted to anyone who isn’t the person I am doing the work for. No more middle women or men, just clients whom I like and like me and what I do. It was a long tiring day as it was end of month payroll and remittance processing day. It was very satisfying though. I have to remember to keep good track of time in the day though as I haven’t found a good replacement timer system. I don’t wish to purchase the accounting software that I used at the firm. Will have to research that more. I spent the evening researching water softener systems for my place instead as I don’t want my new appliances to get damaged and want to take advantage while the plumber will be here to get it installed as well. So many mostly expensive options…
On my way home from work I had stopped by to see Danika as it was her 24th birthday. Jake had asked me to pick up a gift from him and Emmy. Emmy loved the wrap and Danika loved the rum. I am pretty sure she will enjoy the gift card to the Heidout and the offer of looking after Emmy as well.
I got a big jump on CCT treasurer duties today as well. I am tracking my volunteer time now as well because it makes me feel better when I have a super long day to know that I made money and gave back as well. Had a wee chat with my Mom, had to FaceTime nag her to get moved up here. I strongly feel it is time for her to come home. She grew up in Kimberley and all her family is either here or a relatively short drive from here. My brother and family live on Salt Spring Island but she could go visit them and be around all of us rather than live alone and isolated due to Covid.
I am super in my head tonight, didn’t even really think I had anything to say on here but it is so much easier with this iPad keyboard. I just start and my brain filters out through my fingers. I wonder if I am so tired because I haven’t had a drink since Saturday evening. I do have the habit of happy hour after work. Been enjoying that since my construction days with Chris. We would stop at The Local every day on the way home from work. It became just a habit but I am worried that it has done damage to more than my waste line. I don’t think for a moment I have quit drinking but I am going to one day at a time it until makes a difference in my weight loss. I think it may help with the inflammation problem as well. Worth a try.
So, there’s that….
