What a difference a day makes. We live in a world where medicines made to cure us make us feel worse. Once one of the antibiotics I’d been taking wore off, I felt infinitely better. Not 100 percent because now I have to wait out the medicine’s effects on the body, but better. If the…

Quick-start Guide to Finding Clients
It’s now three days since I first called the doctor. No return call Monday, and the second I went off to the pharmacy (ironically) yesterday she called. I’m taking meds I know will make me feel deathly sick again, but until she changes things up, I’ve no choice. I’m taking anti-nausea meds, but who knows…

If it could get in my way yesterday, it did. I sat down at seven am to get my NanoWriMo writing done. By nine it was obvious that wasn’t happening. I was interrupted six times, then the phone started ringing. Sorry Mom, I have to go. Then some banking and other essential errands at noon….
Friends in New Places
I felt like I was slogging through mud yesterday. Way too many things getting in the way and not enough work. I did get one more assignment from a regular client, but nothing concrete on the three others who were asking about upcoming projects. Soon. Patience. If I say that often enough, I may convince…
Simultaneous Submissions
It’s been a good week of work. I spent yesterday morning out of the office (shuttle service for a routine test – his this time, not mine). Despite that, I was able to get back to the desk around eleven and get a small project done. I spent the afternoon doing something few of us…

Running early this morning – I try to schedule doctor’s appointments for as early as I can get them. Today, it’s for 7:30. Amen. I can be back and working by 9:00. Yesterday was great. I handed in the second of the three articles due this month, and the check arrived already for the one…
Working With PR
Busy day again, amen. I finished a large project (just a section – more on the way), and got some smaller stuff accomplished. I worked on a personal project, then it was off to the pool to relax. Finally. I feel like I’ve been running through my week. It’s going to get worse before it…
It’s Not Really That Bad
What I’m reading: Sweet Thursday (and loving it) by John SteinbeckWhat’s on the iPod: Sad Song by The Cars Yesterday went well. Lots done before noon, which meant I was able to take off in the car (roof down) and enjoy the only sun we’ve seen in weeks. Two hours of the glorious outdoors later,…
Many Points of Contact
What I’m reading: Sweet Thursday by John SteinbeckWhat’s on the iPod: King of Diamonds by Motopony Wow, just head off to lunch thinking you have tons of time….the emails must have come in instantly after I left the house. Five urgent requests, all of them a priority. I sorted through quickly and got to the…
The Follow Through
What I’m reading: Sweet Thursday by John Steinbeck I’m slowly getting back into my routine post-Vancouver and post-Mom. Yesterday was a good work day. I managed a number of interviews, some articles, and a few blog posts. Today, a little more of the same. Plus I have a few more business cards from the conference…
