A Mid-day Report
Just finished cleaning up around Pam’s place. She is my wonderful friend that allows me to stay with her when I’m in town on business. Currently none of my clients are paying travel expenses, so the commute from Wilmington and staying overnight in Durham is a big concern financially. Pam letting me stay with her has saved me a great deal of money, and possibly even made the difference between me being able to work with my clients here, and not being able to.
Because of her bountiful gift, it is a joy to do things for her. Today I cut up some brush that was too big for the yard waste container, cut the grass in front of the house, and raked and swept the sidewalk in front of and leading up to her house. I also swept off the front porch which is quite large. It was very satisfying to be out in nature, doing something for someone I care about, getting exercise, and seeing the results of my work real time.
Now I’m getting back to a couple of database projects I’m working on, both of which have a deadline of tomorrow for completion. I’m nervous about meeting the deadline, but I think I can do it with a lot of focused work. I’m grateful for the patience my clients have shown me, and the assistance my former employer has offered in keeping the project moving forward. As stressed as I am right now, I get to remember how many good things I have in my life as well!
