Better?

October 18th, 2016 at 12:34 am

I'm not sure if I'm feeling better today or not. I had to go to work, which got me moving and thinking about something other than my health. It was a high-pressure day -- I ended up working an hour longer than intended, because there is an event coming up. But, honestly, I also just sat there for an hour, too, because they had to load a newer version of Microsoft Office on my machine, and that's how long it took! I'm going to be nice and not charge them for that hour of non-work. Instead, for free, I got to listen to the IT tech tell me all about cars and the history of the Ford Motor Company.

My boss told me to work up an invoice, which was a surprise, because I thought I would do it at the end. However, it was a good thing, because I realized I was figuring my hours on a $20 pay scale, and I'm supposed to be getting $25 per hour. That cuts my hours down from 100 to 80. And it means I am more than halfway through already -- and I could even finish up this week if I really wanted to.

I emailed her an invoice for $1150, and the next one will be $850.

I had to do the invoice at home, because I had all the info on my home computer. Of course, it chose that moment to act up and pretend like it was going to die. I was afraid I wasn't going to get it going again, and I was about ready to throw it through the window. I also had some grief when I couldn't find a copy of my contract, either. (I did.)

My head is messed up, because I'm worried and stressed and just not myself. I need to settle down so I can get a good night's sleep and start fresh.

Keeping my diet in mind, I spent $3 today on fresh watermelon at the museum cafe.

I didn't make it to the gym, however. I was planning to, but my struggles with the invoice and the contract ate up my evening.

I think I'm going to bed right now and read.

    I'm sorry you were stressed and things were causing you even more stress. Hopefully you got some rest and feel better.

    That kind of health scare is always upsetting and takes some time to process. Sounds like it's good to keep busy, What a nice surprise to make $25!

    {{hugs}} It's understandable that you are feeling out of sorts. Maybe give yourself permission to be sad for a few days, and then tell the diagnosis - you're about to get your self kicked out of CBs life - watch out!
