I spent much of November without work. This sucked in many ways, obviously, but mostly because I now have more work than I can handle realisitically, some of which I really wish I had been working on last month. Currently I am juggling three "clients" who all have work for me this week. A fourth had expresssed interest in needing my help, but I am not surprised (and am in fact releived, now) that she has not manifested that work for me. I know that freelancing/temping (which is what I am doing right now) will always be in flux, but this is such a stark contrast from last month that it stand out to me. I leave for the family trip to Mexico on Tuesday morning, and am staying at my grandparents place the night before so we can all go to the airport together. I am booked today and tomorrow in Walnut Creek, Friday and half of Monday in San Francisco, and all the other time to work on a big project for HEN, which I am doing from home, thankfully.

Plans to go to Dickens Faire on Saturday are looking unlikely, although I am still keen to try, if just to take a break. I am still suffering from various low-grade symptoms from whatever cold that my whole house got last month. My neck hurts enough these days that I need pain killer to sleep at night. I already made an appointment to see my accupuncturist on Sunday, who did some work on my neck last month, and plan to stop in at the clinic to check out my lingering cold symptoms on Saturday, because that is the earliest I am available. I do not relish flying with my sinuses (and therefore my ears) having issues, not to mention just being under the waether while on vacation.

Then there is the question of when am I going to find time to get or make any more holiday gifts? So far I was able to make some of the LJ icons for some of you that I wanted to create, but that is hardly a dent in my list. Sure, people probably know that I am not in the best position to be giving lots of gifts this year, but for me, giving gifts, especialy ones with some thought put into them, is what I enjoy about gift giving holidays. My dad is the same way, so I must get it from him.

Funny how I hardly posted at all in November when I had the time (but not much to post about) and now that I am too busy, I am being posty. I am sure I will think of other things I want to post about soon too.

edit: I got to leave my assignment at 3:45 today, so I am home and going to start on my other project for a a while. What I really want is a nap.
