I got a late start thanks to cramps (sorry), but I’m here at the coffee shop, working on a few orders. Normally, I’d take off to rest off these cramps (perks of freelancing), but I don’t want to. I’m trying to increase my funds, I have upcoming expenses, and there’s plenty of work to choose from among several writing teams. Plus, a half day’s work isn’t going to kill me. I was going to listen to some New Kids On The Block or the Oddtrails Podcast since it’s been a short while, but I think I’ll stick with my horror/Halloween playlist today. I haven’t worked on two of these three writing teams in a while. I kept receiving revision requests, so I wound up second-guessing myself. But I want to expand again, so I don’t need the distraction of song lyrics or spooky stories in my ear while I’m trying to relearn these instructions. Once I find my groove with these teams again, I’ll add my boys and podcasts back into the mix. I have no actual plans when I get home from the coffee shop. I may cook my new batch of asparagus (trial and error with the last batch). I may head to the store for some Ibuprofen. I may not do anything when I get home. I’ll play it by ear. I haven’t even decided if I’m watching WWE Raw tonight. I may watch it for a little while, but we’ll see. In the meantime, I’m going to get some work done because the coffee shop closes in a few hours. I hope you’re all doing well and have a great week! Stay safe and take care. :) Photo Credit: Pexels.

I guess it did. I can't remember. But I did remember to pick up a new bottle last week, as we were running out in the house in general. I'm a picky eater, who knew I'd like asparagus?! I'm a little more open to trying certain things nowadays. Stay safe!

@grenery8 I'm only open to certain things lol. But it's more than when I was a kid.

@tammys85 I often don't get started when I want.

@kaylachan Yep. Life's like, "Oh, you had a plan today? Let me fix that for you."

I like you haven't been feeling like work today, but with it being summer and the kids being out of school expenses are going to be a little higher.

Right. That's definitely understandable. I think it's okay to take off when you need it, but sometimes, I gotta push through. The first day or two of my cycle can be rough on some months, but I just didn't have a choice this time around. Buuut, I took off on Wednesday, so it balanced out.
