(no subject)
lots of little things floating through my head.
i spend a lot of weekends alone. i truly hope to fix this someday without sacrificing my sanity and/or bank account. i honestly would seek out company if i could afford to make the drives/pay for the food/pay for the events/etc. etc. etc. frugality is the name of the game right now, big time. still, what i wouldn't give for a neighbor or co-worker my own age.
one of my clients might be dropping 2 of her 4 days with me. if she does, she could take another client with her, since they share my overall work day. this had me in a panic last week, but i just ran the numbers, and i'd be losing 11.5% of my monthly income. does that suck? yes. but i'm sure i could make up at least 5% in other places with other clients, so i'm not panicking nearly as much. plus the client who might drop out and her friend could potentially find more work for me out of guilt/obligation/niceness. i am hoping for that option.
a family friend owes me at least $300 and still hasn't paid. this is an awkward situation for me because i don't know why she hasn't paid me. it could range from her forgetting to her not wanting to pay me. i don't know how to approach the situation. do i play the childhood friend card? do i play the businesswoman card? i've given her until wednesday, feb. 17th, because that is a month post-invoicing. after that, i have to go on the offensive, and i'm really not wanting to do that. if anyone has suggestions, i would really welcome them.
the application for our housing loan is sitting about 15 feet away from me. eeeeeeee!
i made soft bavarian pretzels from scratch last night and they were amazing. definitely going to be in my top 3 bring-to-party foods, along with kettle corn and my special cookies.
i still haven't tried my new serger or played arcane legions. this whole "we're about to move so setting up new systems around the house isn't worth it" thing has lasted a year and it's driving me nuts! except this time, we really are about to move, so there really is no point. yet.
tonight's date night, which is really just getting out of the house night, but i look forward to it. this whole eating out only once a week thing seems to be working out really well, and we're going to see From Paris With Love, which hasn't garnered the best reviews but still looks hilarious.
as for today, i'm not quite sure what to do with myself. i suppose there's always more tudors and games.
love kittie
