Day 31

Well today is shaping up to be drier than yesterday, which means I can go riding (and about time too! It's Wednesday and I haven't been all week!). I'm feeling kind of tired, as I still didn't get to bed as early as I wanted last night, AND I have a ton of work still to do.

I've had my usual morning smoothie which really keeps me going for a few hours. I have no more Atkins bars to eat so it's back to fruit for lunch! Then for tea I plan to have another green smoothie and vegie burger or vegan sausages. I may have the burger cause I only have two meals of sausages and three burgers left. They should easily see me through to the end of the week ;)

House wise, I want to finish cleaning the floors and the living room, and do the bathroom. All in all, it should be a busy day as I still have plenty of work on the book I have to finish!

Oh God... there are possums fighting in the wall. So distracting when I am trying to work! They are supposed to be asleep at this time of day ;)

Hmm well so the day's pretty much over. I ate reasonably well today, think the worst I had was a glass of oat milk cause I was HUNGY! I have pretty much finished my editing (on paper), tomorrow will have to do it on the computer, and THEN I should be able to send it to the client. FINALLY! Some bits will need some rewriting though... and I'm still not sure it's 100% perfect just because it's such a confusing bloody thing (it really needs a few people to read it and sort of "play" it, choosing the various options to see how well it flows... it would take one person ages to go through every single possibility). But, well, I'll let the client see to that and if he needs changes, I'll make them.

Ooooh... Yesterday I discovered that our family portrait photo was stuffed (the glass front had broken, and something was spilled on it). Well, I organised to go and get a reprint done from the photographer, which is all nice... BUT it was $195!!!!! OMG... And I need a new frame. I couldn't believe how much the photo cost (it is big but not enormous!) I think it's about 35 x 28cm. Sooo I'm broke... well broker than I was (which is pretty broke). My car STILL needs servicing, and even when I get paid for finishing this manuscript, it will still be only $250. Next week I will do some major focussing on getting some good, well-paying work. OR I'll end up having to find a J-O-B. NOOOO!!!! I want to make money freelancing and working for myself!! But I need to develop more DISCIPLINE I think, to make this a success. Well, once the slate's clean for the week, I'll focus on getting more work. I'll go for well paying jobs, and I'll bid on lots (I have a ton of Elance connects saved up because I haven't put in any bids for ages). Even if I just get 1/10 or less I'd be doing okay! I'll be uber fussy too... cause I want something that pays well. If I don't get good paying jobs, I'll just do my own writing, and keep the faith that it will get me somewhere!

Geez I ramble on a lot about other stuff in what's actually a WEIGHT LOSS blog. Hehe... I may have to start a writing blog. Or a motivation blog. Or something!
