More procrastination...

It's more of a break, really.

I'm still working on the project that was due on Tuesday. The client wanted a whole bunch of extra modules, so the deadline has been extended to tomorrow morning.

The scary part is that I just realized that I haven't been out of the apartment since Monday. I've been working flat out ever since then (with the occasional tv break of course).

I love being self employed and I love my work, but it is so different from what I used to do. Up until about five years ago I used to frolic in the forest for a living. I did it for years and loved it. Then I started to realize that it was starting to take a lot more energy to get through the day. What used to be effortless was becoming draining and exhausting.

So, when my boyfriend wanted to move back to the urban environment that spawned him, I jumped at the chance for a change of scene. In the space of three weeks I was living in a large city and working in an office. Now we're in a smaller city and I'm working from home. Surprisingly enough, the adjustment from tree hugger to seriously strange computer geek was the easiest one I have ever made.

I somehow feel like I should miss my former career, if only because it was pretty cool, but I really don't. I had some amazing experiences and adventures, but I don't have any compelling need to repeat them.

I always used to say that I was "aspiring to mediocrity". I've finally reached that goal, and I've gotta tell you, the view from here is fantastic.
