Sep. 30th, 2008 07:58 pmPeople who freelance for a living should be given greater grace periods to pay bills. No one ever fucking pays you on time. But then I suppose if freelancers didn't pay their bills on time, then it would just be a vicious cycle. So I guess the moral of the story is don't be a freelancer unless you can afford not to get paid. Sigh.
Anyway, bridge could be a lot better, but I'm sure things will improve as Harvey and I settle into our partnership.
There's only one WW meeting in Seaside and it's tonight, so even though it's only been 5 days, I'm heading over to that in a little while. I'm anxious because I'm very close to a couple of milestones, but I'm not sure if I've done enough to reach them this week. I've been getting great exercise everyday (well, not today so much), but I ate out a lot. I tried to watch my portions and stick to smart foods, but it wasn't as much control as I like to have over my food, so I've been stressing a little, as usual. Not too badly, though. Still, I can feel myself setting myself up for disappointment, because on the one hand I know I'm so close to these goals and I really don't want to wait another week to find out if I've met them -- but I don't honestly think I'm there yet today. We'll see! Also I'm worried about this week, because I won't have much opportunity to work out. There's no Gold's here, and I'm playing bridge all the time. At least we have a fridge in our room and I can keep some healthy snacks around instead of just eating out like we normally do at tournaments.
Sigh. I wish that things didn't stress me out so much. I have so much to be happy about right now. I'm going to get back to Harry Potter (I'm nearly done with book 3 now in my re-read) and see if that can cheer me up. Maybe that's my problem -- I had to put the book down at a very tense point this afternoon. No wonder I'm so frazzled.
Peace.
