I have an appt with a cpa/business consultant in two weeks.

Not exciting to you, I'm sure, but fucking jumping off the cliff for me. I've been himming and hawing (??) for the last 8 months about making my business official so that I could not get so entirely buried in taxes, get group health insurance, and pay myself a salary where Someone Else ( Read more... )

Nope, not dead. Worked my ass off for most of February and first half of March. (I think I might be a bit of a workaholic, y'all.) Current events include prepping to incorporate our business (lots of loose ends to tie up), house guests and more house guests, CH is actually not dead either, but that's all I'm saying or committing to at this moment, ( Read more... )

This is one of those weird moments when my soopersekritharrypotterfandom life intersects with my work life. This morning a bunch of colleagues posted this on various social media, and I think its so so so SO awesome that I'm totally going to plan my OF using this method. Its totally in line with how my brain works. <3 spreadsheetslikeafool

or shrivel up and crumble to dust.

I had one night this week of 10 hours of sleep and it was GLORIOUS! All other nights this week saw no more than 4 hours each. Tonight is the latter type.
I am so
so
so
so
tired.
So tired.

Dude, Luca is going to be a year old in a couple weeks. How did that happen? You know, I can hardly remember what he was like at ( Read more... )

I have a truly unbelievable amount of work to do this week. I believe this very well may be the busiest week of my career. There will be more than one all-nighter. Happy for the money, but crying a little on the inside to think of how much my eyes sting and all the cuddling I'm missing out on. *sigh*

The evidence: $12,000!
The amount that I recently invoiced for. Proof that I've been working my ass off. I'm now on the next wave of tons of work. Good for saving up for maternity leave and, oh, silly me, don't let me forget, WE'RE FINALLY BUYING A CAR!!! In just a couples weeks at that! WOOOOOO!!!!

5am this morning: working on the comps that were ( Read more... )

As if my posts lately haven't been infrequent enough, they are about to become even more infrequent.

I got HELLA work! For the next month to two months, I'll be working about 60 hours a week. Now, before you start to worry that I am overdoing it in my "delicate" condition (lol!) I have a plan to manage all this. Yoga, lots of sleep, lots of good ( Read more... )

Tornadoes

Total weirdness here. A tornado in Oregon? And really not all that far from Portland. So, we just had a lovely thunderstorm and there are trees down and shit like that. But not at my house. Mr. Ilke sat on our porch (after the crazy dirt-wind passed) and watched the rain and lightning. Lovely.

Tables

Totally not related, my swatch of ( Read more... )

You know... I really suck when I'm not working. When I AM working I'm one of the most motivated, driven people I know. I have excellent focus and dedication and can produce an astounding amount of really good, thoughtful work.

I haven't worked for the last three weeks. (Other than an hour here and there.) All I have done is watch horrid daytime tv ( Read more... )

Well, I wanted you all to know that I am alive and well. Not doing too good a job keeping up on LJ lately. But in my defense, I've worked my ba-tooty off. Two websites I designed launched this week, neither of which were any small beans. One was for a major insurance company and the other a site that is a bit like consumer reports. I'm glad to be ( Read more... )
