Staying Busy

I'm done with the big project that had dominated my days last month (and the fist part of this month). And now I'm wading through all the projects that I had put off because of the big project. And I'm still getting people calling for work, so this year looks to be a whooole bunch better than last year.

Of course, mostly that means I can pay off debts incurred, and pay back into the savings account that was essentially emptied, etc. But still, I should have enough to have a little fun, possibly in the form of a vacation, or some new toys.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to get a handle on how I deal with time. It seems that I'm always just slightly stressed about it, even now. I can't seem to relax for very long. I've mentioned this before, so I won't go over it all again, I'm just a little concerned that the feelings are still here, even when I've had a good month, financially speaking. Maybe it's because the money isn't yet in my hand. Not sure.

When I was younger, I used to walk for miles, mainly to get some time to think to myself. Now I can't even consider something like that.

My wife is very good at undoing that tendency in me, so I'm lucky there. I try to sit on myself when I think, at the end of the day, maybe I should go back and do a little more work on x... Because I recognize that I need time to relax and if I don't take it, I'll get strung out pretty quick.
