Coffee coffee coffee!!!

Tuesday, November 01, 2005

It’s about 5 hours since previous post, and I’ve obviously not gone to bed yet. I ended up waking up J, or not, since he was just lying in bed, not quite sleeping, just resting. We did our little morning routine where, on a good day, I make coffee and J sits on his computer for as long as it takes for his morning mood to disappear. That usually happens after his second cup of coffee. He is very amused that I’m drinking coffee these days. I never used to, you see.

I did get fed though! After the whole waking up session, we drove to the store to get a few essentials (interesting how cheese is so very essential! 3 kinds of essential!!) and then we had a sinful, warm baguette at the store café. Chicken curry never tasted so good. Stupid white bread though - I’m so totally hungry again. Or maybe I’m just snacky. It’s hard to tell. After so many years of binging, real hunger is difficult to identify.

Counting out the baguette at the café, I’ve been giving it an effort of getting rid of those carbs. Not the good kind - just the white sugar, bread, pasta ect. I’m a compulsive buyer though, so a trip to the store is just not complete without spending unnecessary cash, and since I can’t buy candy or snacks anymore I’m left with coming up with things we could possibly need.

This time I came home with needles - for sewing together the leg warmers that I’m knitting, and vanilla flavored coffee.

I’m officially a coffee whore.

Morning snack, or not.

It’s 6am and I’m about to drop dead. I just can’t decide whether to drop dead because I’m dead tired, or because I’m dead hungry.

Damn - tough call.

Thinking out loud

Tuesday, November 01, 2005

These past six months have been incredibly taxing, but to tell the truth, I wouldn’t have had it any differently. I’ve done some great things, despite the sometimes not too good circumstances. My back has been a pain, the connection was sucky, and there are a few moments there where I wish I had tried just a little harder - but all in all, I did kinda well. At least I think so.

Web designing is not my full-time job (full-time hobby more like it), but I’ve had this year to try out what it means to be more responsible than a sack of potatoes, and I think what I learned from the frustration and the nightmares*, the accomplishments, success and failure is that I still want to do this.

*I’ve had SO many nightmares this year - probably more in one year than all the other years put together.

The hardest part, undoubtedly, has been the clients. Not because they’ve been difficult, but because they’re all so different and you definitely can’t make assumptions anywhere about anything. What works for some doesn’t do it for others, and I’m still trying to get a hang of THAT.

I think I’ve done a lot of directed work so far, and I suppose it worked out since the clients got what they wanted (I very much hope at least)! But I wouldn’t mind getting a bit more experimental next year. That is the good thing about being your own boss - you get an idea and you carry it out, because, who is going to stop you?

See - these are the things you have to find out all on your own when you’re going solo.
