All this month I’ve been compensating for the demands of the move by squeezing in extra eHows at every opportunity. As of yesterday, that’s done. I can get back to a slightly lower rate. Five hours freed up a weekend may not seem like much, but it’s a lot, trust me.
The catch: TYG has outpatient surgery today, a follow-up to an operation she had last year (this should permanently deal with the problem). As I know from experience, playing caregiver demands a lot of time—TYG can’t lift anything heavier than five pounds the first few weeks for instance.
So for next week and October, I’m not taking on anything beyond the basics: Fiction and eHow. That should leave me with enough time to adjust to my angel’s myriad needs without crimping my writing the way it did last year. Experience, hopefully, is a good teacher.
As for this week’s work, it went well. I got another draft of the Monster Earth story done and mapped out what needs to be done over the next month. And I did well with the ehows (not reflected here: This reflects what I got paid for which reflects how little I did last week)
•Can My Sister Make Me Share Life Insurance Proceeds if I Am the Beneficiary?
•What Happens to Delisted Shares?
•Tax Deductions for Donations Made to the Same Organization on Different Dates
•If Taxable Income Is Zero, Why Do I Owe Taxes?
•Can a Parent Transfer Their IRA to Their Child?
Now lunch, then off to the hospital with TYG.
