participate in a 43T working-at-home support group

...although people are literally THROWING freelance work at me now that I’ve accepted the new job, but that’s ok, if I need extra cash I can do some editing or article writing as and when.

In fact my mom is a BRILLIANT editor so I may pass some work on to her, she would enjoy it, earn some money and can do it even from her bed or the couch as she is still not too well.

Thanks for this group, it helped me through some stuck places in the last year!

And good luck to you all.

but i’ve hit a bit of a slump, cos the hotel i’m meant to be writing on, werll, Villa, actually – there are 3 with the same name on the same road and they all have different features / room numbers etc and no-one can clarify which one i’m meant to be writing on.

however, apart from a killer headache, i’m ot doing too badly.
i think the early morning walk on the beach, plus having my mom call every hour, plus a decent breakfast, plus working at the table not in bed, are all helping a bit.

for working, or more accurately, not working.

it’s another half day from home and i used to be great with these cos i knew i only had a few hours to get on with stuff. but ever since i got back from my leave which was about 3 weeks back i’ve been totally demotivated and unable to get any work done, and i have only myself to blame.

today i have been at my laptop for 4.5 hours and not done one single work-related task.

not one.

i actually keep telling myself that i’m going to get stuck in NOW and then an hour passes and nothing gets done.

well, i made tea, swept the floor, emailed people, read 43t, took photos, called the school to arrange for the school fee invoice to be faxed t the lawyer (one thing i have been meaning to do for weeks) and played with the cat.

AND

on Monday i have to hand in a report of my completed tasks for the past week. i have almost nothing.

i feel caught between panic and total lethargy.
