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.
