I could surely solve the world’s problems, and totally not become a power mad tyrant, I swear! I could house, and clothe people, feed them even. I’d be so good to you baby. Just gimme a chance. I could do so much good with even just a Billion dollars under my belt, and at my finger tips. I could save so many of us, it would be damn near miraculous. I believe in me, don’t you? Don’t you want to be safe, and free, and more prosperous than ever before? Come over here, get under my covers, succumb to my warm tone, and inviting charms. Give me everything and I swear to you you’ll not live to regret it. I promise.
That, and other such things take up my Wednesday morning thoughts as of late. We have seen no rain going on fourteen or fifteen days straight now, and I fear for both the state of my lawn, for wildlife, and for my trees & flowers. I can only imagine how hard packed like concrete my soul is currently. Not going to play football on there until we have a day of steady rains to soften it all up. No sense getting a concussion from hitting the ground after a tackle — ouch. Take most of the skin off a kneecap or thigh too. Road rash from our brown, crispy lawn is just as bad. Still stings when you step into the shower!
Next week I have family coming to visit for a few days so I’m sure work will get very busy then, but just for those couple of days, and no others. Ha. That’s always the way of things as a freelancer. Can’t say no, just make it work! And you know what, my not being a surgeon, or a mission critical portion of any body’s operation means I have a lot of freedom around work. That’s a good thing. Means flexibility, and a certain level of autonomy that I have grown accustomed to. Hard to beat those perks!
What’s a little bit of volatility when you have all of these perks! Freelancing isn’t for a weak stomach. Also being able to budget well, and manage your time is a must. It’s not the life for someone whom has difficulty starting things on their own. I’m lack lustre at networking, and I hate soliciting for work with new clientele, so I could step up in that arena if I’m being honest with myself. I’ve done well for myself with word of mouth, and repeat customers, and brand management team members going elsewhere and coming back to me with new work. I’m loathe to meddle with what has worked well for the last few years, but I do know I have to continue to adapt or I will fade away. Best to do something on my own terms, and own it!
