Life > Work

still from Fantastic Mr. Fox

Well, we’re back on track again with the house.  I’ve learned not to get my hopes up, as I’ve come to understand that that the house we want to buy is a player.  One second it whispers sweet nothings into my ear about how happy it is that we’re going to be its owners, and the next second turns around and runs around on me,  causing problems that need to be addressed for the loan to go through.

But, with the possibility of a house purchase looming, I’ve been really motivated to push myself to write more freelance articles.  That way, once we buy the house, we can also still buy other things… mainly, food.

Every morning I wake up motivated to bust my butt to both build up some savings and get some time in on script work.

There are times, however, where you’ve got to put other priorities above being productive.  Today is going to be a complete cluster, as I’m going to go visit some little boys who I’m close to losing it over as they’re going to be gone for a month, helping a friend pack for a big move, and then having dinner with my dad.

My work productivity is going to be trash, and I’ll have to make arrangements to somehow still fit in what needs to be done, but there’s no doubt that there’s more to life than work.

* Luckily and thankfully, I have a job where I can decide when I want to work.
