"I’d be overwhelmed, but it’s just one more thing to do."
Yesterday was a fresh start. I got up the same time I always do, showered, had breakfast, and sat at my work computer to take up my new freelancing life. The radio was on, the edits were flowing, and I was feeling good.
About 2 hours in, my friend D stopped by with flowers and creme cakes -- gifts for the new corporation. :) Very sweet. After she left, the phone rang. Mom checked in. I said I'd be taking my "lunch hour" to run errands, and she suggested that since I'd be in the area, I could stop by for lunch with her, dad, and my uncle. We talked a bit, I checked things with her on the net, and then I hung up. I worked another half hour and then jumped in the car to head out.
I spent an hour at the parents' house lunching and chatting, then headed over to the closing-up "last-job" office building to pick up some sample copies that will help me in my new work but didn't seem to get packed in my car on Friday. My friend A had come in also to finish up some packing and work, and we talked for a while about the trip we are planning, now delayed, and work life and other things; then I picked up some copies and headed back out.
I hit the bank, post office box, and CVS, then headed back home. Four hours later.
I quickly jumped back on the computer, then the cat quickly jumped on my lap (10 minutes petting), then I spent about an hour editing before R came home and asked how my first day went.
"It was like orientation," I said. I just have to get used to the newness of it all. And try not to leave the house!
