This is what's up

Where did today go? Oh, that's right. I slept most of it!

I slept so good last night, cool, snuggled under the covers in my own bed. And darned if I didn't forget to hook up the box fan. So I was dead to the world from 11-ish until 5:30 a.m., when Christopher's alarm went off. <grumble> That will be fixed tonight.

I'm not sure if it was lack of caffeine, stress, or just catching up on sleep, but I woke up with the most horrible headache. Not one of my infamous migraines, but painful nonetheless. So when do business people decide to call me? Yup...8:30 a.m. And I purposefully had not had my first cup of coffee yet, because a nap was totally in order...and I slept until almost noon. Ahhhh!

I spent the afternoon tallying up my stories for my resume. It took a couple of hours, but that was kind of fun. It was like, "Ooh...I remember this one. That was a fun one!" "Wow...I really wrote that many in a year?"

I think I'm slightly relaxing my stance on non-writing jobs. It makes me sad to think of working a job where I'd never get to write. It might be fun to work on a weekly community paper again, I think. You know what I really wish, though? I wish I had the guts to start up a freelance business doing all different types of writing. When I dream, this is what I dream of. But I worry that a) I wouldn't be able to support my family on it -- there are no guarantees -- and b) the laundry monster would interfere too often. I think maybe it boils down to a lack of faith in myself. But really, I mean...can I afford to fail??

Anywho. Since my home is comfortable enough to move around in again, and I have accomplished a few things job-search-related today, I need to catch up on some housework.
