Cough.  Sniffle.

I caught a bug. I so hate being sick . . I can’t even tell you.

I worked a full day today for Hospice and it took the strength of every fibre of my being not to just find someplace to lay down, curl up and fall asleep. I was so drained - that the curbside was looking like a comfortable place to lay my head today. I’ve had this horrid migraine for the past two days - - then came the hot flashes..then the dizzy spells - - and now finally the bug has broken through and is having a party in my body. Sore throat. Coughing. Sneezing. Fever.

Party on bug!

I blogged about setting limits the other day. Are there any other work-at-home, self-employed people out there who ran into issues with limits? I mean, it is incredibly easy for me to sit down in my office at 8am and work straight through till midnite or 2, 3, 4am. It’s easy. There’s lots of work to be done - which is a great thing! Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving every single minute of it! But because there is so much to be done - - I guess I’m feeling like…if I can get a good chunk of it done early in the week - - then I can kick back later in the week. So far, that theory hasn’t panned out. I need to work on keeping myself on a reasonable work schedule. That’s my goal for the month. Baby steps, and I’ll get there.

Speaking of work - - Greg, over at gregstruth - has a brand new look and has moved away from the default WordPress template. He was a gem to work with. Still have some tweaking n’ such to do - but, for the most part, it’s done. Give him a visit and say hey! Now, I am currently working on a really interesting project for a new hosting client who also wants his entire site overhauled, as well as a new template. His site premise is rather interesting, as he is a US Diplomat to the Middle East and his site concept revolves around US/Saudi relations. Interesting stuff - - I can’t wait to share!

    hahaha i have the same problem, time limits, it is a problem to try to do everything at once thinking you will have spare time later on. Better to try to accomodate things during the week.
