Awesome Present! I'm stoked!!! My awesome xmas/bday present is going to be done today and should be finished by the end of the day. :) Yes, Dan bought me something I would never buy myself, a good sound system for the Jag. Yes, I am finally going to have a radio with an antenna that tunes! Yes, I can finally play my own CDs and not deal with that retro tape deck! Hurrah! I'll never have to listen to that buzzing rear speaker again! And I'll finally be able to preset the radio to stations I actually want to listen to! Yaaaayyyy!!! So, so happy over that. I know I need some business to get those rim seals knocked out (filling air in your tires every other morning is an anal pain I'd like to relieve) for the next major repair. After that, well there's a lot of things, so I wouldn't be buying myself a radio anytime soon. It'll help him out too though as he won't be constantly subjected to my books on tape, poor boy. Other than that, business is still dead. I'm a little worried over not earning money, but I really don't want to become more public so there's little I can do to relieve the drought. I hear it's hard all over though, so it's not just me. I am getting more time, and projects!, in the creative realm though they won't pay until sometime in the future. I'm half glad about this turn of affairs, as I do need some people to motivate me to work harder, but I'm also worried that I won't be able to make my usual salary as the economy is still going down. Usually business picks up in the spring/summer, so I do have the warm weather too look forward to, but, as usual, I'm being impatient. So, I'm going to try and see where this creative motivation takes me, hopefully somewhere good. I know I could use the writing boost and, without an audience demanding explanations or improvements, I won't do jack shit. That's my problem. I waste weekdays relaxing on my own and then can't work at night because my brain functions best in the early half of the morning. So, I need pressure. Internal deadlines don't work. It needs to be social pressure. How else do I keep going to skate class? Yay skate class is tomorrow and I've got my MP3 player!!! So, semi happy :) Daphne |
