I got back from vacation a week ago, perfectly affordable vacation; perfectly delightful, perfectly perfect.
But I want more! I can’t stand being at work right now. I’ve worked here longer than anywhere I’ve ever worked and it’s DRIVING ME NUTS. I’m thankful to at least be underemployed when so many people are just unemployed, but how long can a person go on doing shit they have no interest or investment in before they climb up to the top of a clock tower and start picking off the stragglers?
We could use a large windfall right about now. The house has been bleeding our savings slowly, and the improvements aren’t happening fast enough for me to feel like the value is there. So I feel like we have no money and nothing to show for it.
And at the same time, I feel like I’m drowning in the brick-a-brack of my life, and I so want to do a give-away. Just pile it all in the driveway and let people come and take what they want. No charge.
If you are lacking in Grace, I can lend you one.
If ever it comes to you climbing the clock tower, call us and we’ll talk you down. Yes!
I lasted about 2 1/2 years, and I think I was getting close, clock tower-wise.
Now I (partially*) work from home! It’s great in that I don’t have to interact very much with people and can work at 2 am if I feel like it, which I sometimes do. On the flip side, a paycheck is anything but steady. Sometimes I tell my inbox that mama needs a new pair of shoes before I click on it.
* I do several things freelance.
You should sell that stuff, though. A solution to two problems!
