Two Projects at Once and More Behind Them

At the moment I would be on my 8th article of ten for one project getting ready to finish up and go work on the one with 20 articles due in two weeks. This one and that one are both due at the same time but I will be finishing this one well ahead of schedule. I am waiting on clarification on the second one which means I have time to finish this one up today.

There are more projects behind both but this one is shorter so I'm doing it first and then will alternate the other current with the new. The other one at this time I will send in sets of five as to not get too confused or overwhelmed. I can not continue without clarification and the lady that has it is busy with family which I knew already so it is my fault for not noticing my slight problem earlier.

I managed a bonus on my last project so I think that even the fact that I am working weekends to catch up from the chaos of the week is worth it right now. I have to finish in time to get some personal matters taken care of.

Back to Work after Just a Day Off

I would be back to work now after just a day off. I am in the process of attempting to find the peace and quiet required to write 20 articles that I have two weeks to do. It should not take that long but I have other responsibilities as well so it just might. I also have a project to do ten more coming that should be set up by this afternoon and no idea how long I have to do those in.

I only have the first five topics for the set of twenty so that's good. I may not be thrilled with the topics at the moment, having a bit of trouble getting motivated to do them but I am thankful that I have a job. I need the money at the moment. I figure that with these two I'll still be a bit short unless I manage to finish them in half the time to be able to do something else before the first of next month. I have a feeling that money is going to be tight for a while.

I'm also getting the feeling that the kids birthdays and Christmas are all going to be a bit slim this year. Oh, well something will happen to make it right for them. It always does. I am having second thoughts about a lot of things I need to take care of. Actually more like worrying that I will be able to take care of them at the moment. The baby would need her supplements refilled, the light bill is working on being outrageous and I would need to do something about my vehicle.

Well, I have a project already in motion and one I will have the details for shortly so I best be going.

Work is Going Well

I just finished a job and am waiting for the funds to be released from a new client that has long term work. I am waiting for the new project from an old client to be funded so I can begin work. She would have long term work as well. I also managed to achieve the last bit of change for payout at TextBroker this morning while getting the kid ready to catch the bus. That seems too easy but I did it. Now to  leave it alone and see if I can fit in a few quick things before time to request payout. I am glad they have made the decision to go to weekly payouts so that I can take a moment between jobs to earn a little spare change.

Well I have promoting to do and a battery to charge, lunches to fix and an afternoon to plan so I'll be going. All in all everything seems to be falling right into place where it should be.

Small Miracles Can Make a Big Difference

I was praying to find a client to help me out of this bind and well, I found one with the possibility of long term work. I'm nearly finished with their project and early I might add. After all the stress and worry over storms ended yesterday I decided to check my email. In my inbox I found an invite for another project from a client that I haven't worked for in a year. She noticed I was working again and wanted to know if I would be interested in doing some work for her again! I of course said yes, now I'm waiting for her to accept the proposal I put in since I did it at her budget which is actually not too shabby for the time it should take me.

I lost my calender where my mark all my deadlines so I gotta print out a new one but that's all right too. This morning the school bus to take the baby to preschool was late so I'm a little behind but that's alright too. I don't have the start date for the second project yet so I'm still ahead. I have to get a move on, I got laundry to do, rewrites to finish, a new project to start, my own writing and three more blogs to update so losing my calender book came at a bad time but it's going to be OK. I can print one, I find the Internet to be my most useful tool most days. Well, all days since I make my living on it.

As long as I don't forget to buy the cat food there shouldn't be any rebellions today.

Distracted

I have a deadline of September 12th to finish up the last half of this project. I only have 12 left of the last 22 which is good and puts me ahead of schedule since I turned in the first half a couple of days early. My main problem is that I can not focus on these right now. The tropical storm came inland and we got the typical warnings and watches that result, the remains are still moving over us now. I've spent more time looking out the window than working.

I don't know why but the storms make me nervous and I just stare out the window looking at the winds and the rain. The distraction from the storm was not a welcome one, I'm all ready distracted enough and can't afford to be at the moment. Once again my savings account would be empty and I need to pay off a rather large additional expense next month. I also have to have money to finish making it through this month and more car repairs.

I would be in desperate need to replace my vehicle but I don't see that happening before the end of the year unless there is a drastic change that occurs. I am under too much stress as it is and it adds to the problem. I am working as fast as I can as I hold onto a fantasy in order to keep my mind off of everything that is going on around me. I listen to music and try not to daydream as I work on my project in order to finish it early and get some other work done before the next one.

Typing as Fast as I can

I would currently be typing as fast as I can and hoping that I do not have a million typos. I have to earn additional money in a short time and I'm attempting to allow my fingers to fly off the keyboard in order to do it. I currently have four windows open so I can go back and forth to write my articles and update my blogs at the same time so that I am not neglecting them. I am stressed out at the moment but I had a bright spot in my morning to let me know that in the end it is all worth it.

I did remember to open a window so I can schedule updates for the days and times that I will be away. The school bus will start back on Wednesday morning so I should have a less stressful time getting to work. I also just realized that I have a lot of old articles to edit for typos and silly mistakes that I should not have made in the first place. This is going to be a long busy week for me. I can feel the stress coming on and for once it's all right.

Have a good morning and a productive day. :-)

Fear of Returning to Private Clients

While I have no choice at the moment I have a slight fear of returning to private clients. I'm not sure why I would, maybe because they demand so much time to make a living. I know that I am not ready to go back to the traditional work force just yet. I still need a little more time home with my baby.

There are a ton of bills left to pay this month, well maybe not a ton but enough to make me rather nervous that one of them will not get paid. Oh, well that's life, and now I'll be heading off to wade through job postings to determine by most viable option.
