You know what that means! Sending out invoices, booyah! Yeah-buddy. Turning all of those clickity- hours on the keyboard into a living wage, or at least a supplement to one. As I have previously mentioned Earnings are WAY down compared to last year. Which I think makes that year a fluke. Shame. I could have gotten used to having some disposable income just lying around. A fair dinkum bit of belt tightening going around this year, believe you, me.
Going away for 41 days over three separate months didn’t help, so no surprise there. I had saved for the trip, but failed to account for clients going a bit cool on the idea of my absences. Live and learn. My computer is now more than 10 years old, so I must purchase a more portable laptop work station, which will mean the option to work when traveling, if I must.
Now if everyone paid me during the same week for June/July work I’d be able to get a machine without too much worry, but that never happens. So I’ll need to think of a good way to do it, or scale back a couple spec’s on my desired new computer. A balancing act, if you will.
Wednesday, hump day, middle of the week day! It’s here, and the weather has turned out better than first expected. It was absolutely pouring down at 5:00am when I took the dog out for a pee. He didn’t care much for the rain, and neither did I. Can’t blame him.
So, new news… weight loss plan is taking effect. I’m currently down from 213lbs at Christmas, to 203lbs by end of June, and 198lbs as of today. Slow going for sure. I’d like to end up around 165/170 lbs, but that is going to require my actually being active, and not just focused on what, when, and how I eat. More bike riding, skate boarding, dog walking, swimming, and hitting up a gym for weights if I can manage it. That was the part of Crossfit I really liked, all of the olympic style lifting. Good for the bones, if you do it properly, and not for vanity. I did my lower back in being an idiot, so we’ll not try to do any of that nonsense again.
I’d take up running again, except I hate it, and my knees and ankles beg me not to harm them any further. Running on a padded track is one thing, running on uneven roads is another. Whatever, I need to find something besides “wishing” that can make it happen. Let me sleep on it. Ha.
