Work is going to kill me.

I routinely go to a flower garden, but I'm already there! I have all sorts of flowering shrubs in my yard. Today the weigela is blooming. And I'll have blooms all season until November.

I'm moving into a big yard with a garden box, I was going to replace the trees where someone cut them down.

Right now I'm just smoking trees. Give & take ~

The neighbor is trying to remove an old tree stump. I haven't looked to see what he is using.

Bleh. I bet I consumed something like a gallon or two of coffee in the past week or so.

Back when I was working for other people/companies, I had similar experiences. It sucks to put in your best effort and still be viewed as a disposable widget. I wish you success in setting up your own business.

Freelance work for my tech disciplines would probably mean changing to work with more engineering, less fun graphics & more math, not to mention requiring a LOT more computers & gear than I currently own. I enjoy the technical process of working with big intricate graphical data sets & 3D imaging, that stuff calls for lots of machines plus big software teams.

People usually underestimate the personal investment it takes from me to do my thing; I don't blame you but it takes a lot of energy on my part just to fully consider what you're writing about. I tried to put together my own software business; everyone called me crazy, repeatedly & locked me in the loony bin yet again. This world quite simply would never let me run my own life at age 25. Had anyone actually supported me instead of just piggybacking off my ideas, I could really make some money on my own code projects. That said I have repetitive strain & sports injuries in my hands & arms so I have to take it easy. I'm sure I can get there eventually but I have a lot of work to go if I stand a chance. I put my entire life into these things since I often have little else to do.

I certainly didn't mean to imply it was easy, or that I have any idea about the work you do. I didn't start my own business till I was in my 40s. And it is exhausting. But I can set my own schedule and that helps a lot.

I got lucky and found a job in one of my special interests so I can literally do it all day without "running out of spoons."
But, I decided it was better for my health to have some hobbies, so I now go home to cook a nice meal and work out in the garden when everyone else leaves work.

I'd work some extra hours at times if I weren't stuck on contract. Some of the people who hired me want me to keep working in the company after September but the other 2 guys don't know as far as I'm aware. I have to move into my new house, plan how to take care of my cat at the old one, work another 18 hours and start on my new resume in the next four days.

I just want to see people I know but it's going to be a while.
