Feb. 24th, 2009 12:51 pmIt's been difficult getting moving this morning. I got a lot of secondary work done, but all of the things that are my priorities right now are totally lost in the cloud of my current head cold. I've written four sentences of a PT blog! Hopefully I'll be able to write at least 20 more and then it'll be a real blog post. I did some non-urgent edits and handled a lot of email, but every time I pull up my blogging pages, my brain turns to mush.
I don't really have anything I have to get done today, so I'm letting myself get away with this procrastination, but I know I'd feel better if I could just pound out a lot of work. Z and I have a lot of travel on our agenda for the next few months, and as is often the case in our lives, we're not really sure where the money will come from to pay for it all. I'm making a decent income for the amount of work that I do now, but I couldn't possibly do enough work of this nature to turn it into a living wage. I just don't have that much in me. It sounds like Z locked down a bridge client for Toronto, though that's not certain, and he's getting some intermittent online teaching work, so we're above water, but it would be really helpful if he could get a week of FedEx work before we take off for Houston. Money stresses me out. Lack of money is worse. To quote Adam, one of the hardest times I've ever laughed: "Mo' money, mo' problems. No money, even mo' problems."
I'd like to go to the gym and work out this morning, but I have this bad cold...I don't feel terrible, but I do feel quite dizzy, and that's not a good state for exercise. Maybe I'll just go sit in the hot tub for a while. We have a hot tub! Woo! Still love it here...
Maybe I'll take today to experiment with public transit in Portland. I have a Bed, Bath, and Beyond gift card burning a hole in my wallet, and I need to get some new bedding. Helen is running around with her friend Sarah in Hood River for the day, so I probably won't hang out with her until tonight or tomorrow. I should do *something* productive with this free time. I think I'll start with the hot tub...
Peace.
