Christmas is just around the corner, and so is my final paycheque. But I’m not worried. I’m almost done the Olive web site, and I’ve been getting a few maintenance gigs here and there. Nothing big yet, but I’ve got cash flow through to February, I figure, provided I’m frugal. Which I’m not, usually.
There’s a certain amount of stress here given that it’s not just me we’re talking about. Hell, if it was, it’d be no big deal. But I have to provide for the wife and kid, too. Probably the hardest part has been readjusting to working from home. I’ve been so used to having somewhere to go that I start to get restless by mid-afternoon and start looking for excuses to “run errands” – which is really just a euphemism for “go to the bar.”
