Ants in my pants

I can barely sit still. I want to go run and jump in the flower meadow. But there isn’t one near by and I should finish out the day.

I’m much lighter since before lunch and I got about 10″ of hair cut off. He blow dried it and it’s a bit poofy and not really in a good way. But I know what to do with it later. Otherwise it’s perfect. Just perfect. And it feels weird when I fun my fingers through it and it stops at my shoulder… *laugh*

The chalice bag progresses and I’m pretty happy with the color combo. This particular velveteen is absolutely the softest ever for cotton. I got it at Walmart in some bin years and years ago and it’s the last piece left.

The robins are singing, it is a dry day, there are patches of blue sky. Hope reins.

Dreams Change

The last 24 hours have been really life affirming and life changing. I’m thinking about K. and R. and M. and N. and Cliodhna and Fox, Grace and Green Witch with smiles and gratitude.

I have this rule. I only get to complain for so long before I take opposite action. So, I have a story to tell you. It’s been awhile since I told a life story and one is due. It’s a long one. You might want to warm up your tea and get comfortable.

Where am I going?

I spent the last four days, when not wrapped up in family stuff, playing with the idea of cutting my hours at work to 90%. I figured taking every other Friday off would feel absolutely amazing… And it would. But due to some things beyond my control it’s just too much to lose financially at the moment. And that is why, I think at least to some degree, I am depressed today.

I do have new website I’m working on for a client and it feels good to be back doing what it is I love doing. Populating the eNews is so frikking boring I can’t begin to tell you how much I hate being back at administrative stuff again.

There just isn’t enough actual web work to keep me interested.

I received two emails today.

One from a local temporary head hunter outfit that is requesting my resume and portfolio. I can do that this week. They never know from one day to the next what they will have to offer so it’s a pretty risky deal… Especially since I would probably end up getting jobs that were full time for maybe six weeks, instead of regular part time work at say 15/20 hours per week.

The second email is from a friend who is a publicist working with authors. Who are evidently clamoring for websites. We were already planning on getting together this week and she informed me that she plans on talking about this a lot.

And I’m back on track considering cutting back my hours.

What I have to do this

  • The software
  • The skillz
  • The inclination
  • Great part time benefits at my current employer, full benefits in fact if I work 50% or more.

What I would need to be able to do this

  • I need to manifest a new laptop if I’m going to do this. When my old clunker at home got just too darned old I gave it away and haven’t missed having a computer at home. Not one jot.
  • I would need to manifest 40% of my post tax salary to do this, more would be better
  • Get that resume up to date
  • Courage and deep breathing exercises

I don’t think I could do option 1 and I don’t know if I would like it.  But I think that perhaps option 2 just might be possible.  Need to muse on this some more…
