The advantages of working one’s ass off
So with the day job, and the freelancing, I haven’t had time for anything resembling a life lately. But there are advantages to this. Whereas my dayjob paycheck is earmarked for boring survival things like rent, bills, food, and car stuff, the freelancing paycheck has the following destinations:
- New winter coat (the current winter coat is about 14 years old and *looking it* - in spite of much sentimental value, it needs to be retired.)
- New dress for upcoming wedding. (No way I can avoid going to this one, so I at least want to look really good.) And, as I recently found out while playing wishful dress up at Macy’s, I’m still a size six.
If there’s any left over, it’s going into savings.
