So Far So Good

I may be stressing over my deadline but so far the client is happy with what I've done. I'm going to send the next set as ten articles to buy a bit of time, then send another ten and the final five to him. I'm glad that he is happy since I was amazingly nervous after not having done a project in a year for anyone but myself. I think that once I am finished with this I'll write an editorial on the choice to go back to private clients.

I have until Monday June 20th to finish this project completely to get paid. The 21st Theresa goes for her labs and I have to figure out if I have the money to pay for the test medicaid does not cover. I also have to get a referral for the new OT. They can guarantee her a spot until the start of the school year. They are the same therapist that she sees in school so at least they'll be on the same page.

Well, these articles aren't going to write themselves so I'll be going back to work now.

First Private Client in over a Year

I have decided that with recent events I have to take on my first private client in a year. I have a week from today to have all thirty of these articles complete and hopefully get paid a few days after. I can send them in smaller sets so I am really hoping that means I can get them approved as they are submitted.

I'm a bit paranoid that something will go wrong and I will miss my deadline or have the project cancelled in the middle. I have three more to finish of the first set of five that I intend to send off. After that they are broken up into two sets of ten and a set of five to finish them up. I suppose I could just do sets of five to keep my focus. These appear to be a bit harder than I thought but once I get into them I do believe my pay rate will compensate me.

OK I've got to get back to work. I also need to do the budget for the rest of the summer. I'm hoping that there are no more unexpected expenses that come up.
