I don't really know what to write, but it's been way too long without an update.
So I landed a design job which is short term and pays well. My first real freelance gig! What I do everyday is too much like regular work to call it freelancing, even though I am. It's for a medical drug book. I had to submit a design and a bid so in the end I felt a bit like I had won something. I already got my deposit check and things seem to be going well with the design and rounds of changes. This one's got me flying high. I feel like I might actually be able to work this freelance thing.
Anyone need a good designer?
Been nursing a bad ankle since we've been back from Bonaire. It sucks and sucks. I can walk ok, but long periods of standing kill it even now when it mostly better. My garden's overgrown because of it. I just can't stand around long enough to pull the weeds. I also am feeling blobby because I haven't been doing much because of it. Even now I think I am only doing about 75% of my regular on-my-feet activity.
My last thyroid test shows my levels are coming down into the normal range again. Which is all good. My sleep is more normal and now I am back to waking up a few times a night. Sometimes there are good sides to these things. Still not completely trusting the new specialist doctor. I think he mostly treats diabetics. Not brimming with confidence.
It is nice to have a quiet weekend for once. Neither one of us is going anywhere and no local commitments either. Just hiding from the heat.
