clickity click

In the middle of last week, I landed some freelance work in addition to my normal 9-to-5 job. Needless to say, it's been a little nutty lately.

For the last five or six days, I would, basically, leave work at 6 or 6:30, head home, and start working again. Also, all weekend I was stuck inside clicking that stupid fucking mouse...

Don't get me wrong, freelance work is awesome, I get to make a little extra money and pay down some of those credit card bills. I get to work on some cool things that I wouldn't get to work on normally, and generally, I'm happiest when I'm going a million miles and hour and I'm so busy I can't see straight. I don't know why, I just am.

It's bad though because it means that Belinda and I didn't spend much time together screwing off and blowing off steam this weekend like we usually do. During the week, I am unable to give her as much pillow time as she is used to, since I'm sitting in front of the computer, usually swearing at it like a truck driver, until 12 or 1 AM. Chores around the house get ignored, etc...

The worst part is that I work in our dining nook, which overlooks the park across the street. So while I'm stuck inside clicking away, I can watch all the people in the park sunning themselves and generally lazing about in the perfect weather we have here. Maybe I need to move my computer...

With all that said, I'm in a pretty good mood today. I suppose because I have been too busy to think about how much I hate my job or my boss or this stupid fucking project I'm slaving away on. Which is good, considering the week I had last week. So, there is very little grumpiness to write about today.

However, now that I'm my desk this morning, and I haven't had any downtime in a while, that could change at any minute...
