One more day

Takin’ it one day at a time today. I need to get through today because tomorrow I get to collect money from a client. I ran out of money a couple days ago, which is inconvenient, but I ran out of coffee yesterday and I’m having to get creative to find stuff to eat. And that’s really inconvenient.

I’m also meeting with a client tomorrow to see about working for him fulltime. He’s my only consistent client anyway, so this would probably only mean more hours and less pay by the hour and more total hours. Plus using a desk and computer and software that I don’t have to pay for to maintain. The big sticking point may be health insurance. I’d really like to not just bleed to death if I get shot or hit by a bus, and I’m in no position to move to Europe to get decent health care. I wish that even having insurance would mean I had a shot at getting decent health care. We’ll see what happens.

See, I can’t worry about health insurance today. I need to worry about FOOD. Very important. So I will: invoice a couple of clients so that they’ll want to pay me, make oatmeal-raisin cookies (one thing I actually have the ingredients for), make a lot of rice, and consider trying to sell my 8mm Bolex. Probably should have sold that camera a while ago, but I don’t trust an item like that to eBay and I don’t know how to find a buyer. Maybe the pawn shop? They’d probably give me not enough for it, but I could collect it tomorrow or Saturday.

No matter what, it’s time for me to get back to work. Fun fun fun…
