1) Tiff comes up with the best blog entries and I’m hoping she doesn’t feel slighted by my blatantly ripping her off.
2) My eyes are so so tired. Between two-full time jobs (job #2 is shiny new and this set-up is only temporary) and freelance work, I spend about 12-16 hours a day online or on a computer. It’s also kind of a miracle I don’t need glasses (yet) considering both my parents have bad eyesight.
3) What was I thinking not bringing an umbrella this morning?! Now I’m stuck in the office because there’s a typhoon outside and I still have a ton of work waiting for me when I get home.
4) Singapore! I booked my flights for next year’s Laneway Festival today and I cannot wait. I’m staying six days so I should have enough time to meet up with people! And maybe check out some Hydraulic Power Units, heh.
5) My MyLastCigarette app says I’ve been a non-smoker for 17 days. Technically, that’s not right since I had a few cigarettes last Friday night (I’m a social smoker until I get an e-cigarette). My heart/chest feels a little heavy tonight and I’m having some trouble breathing, but that might just be me unconsciously panicking over my workload.
6) I think I’ve bitten off more than I can chew but I’m not complaining. It’s rewarding work (emotionally, mentally, and financially) and just what I need to get out of this three-year slump.
7) I am seriously considering trading in my social life for work and TV shows.
What is your 2nd job?

When Donny quit smoking he felt worse before he felt better. Right after he quit he was coughing up shit and it seemed worse than when he smoked. But he’s been quit since around the time Sebastian was born and there is a big difference. He still uses SNUS (Do they have that where you are? I love those pouches! So bad but so good) and is trying to quit that next, but he smoked for 10+ years so I’m really proud of him. Stick with it! If you can just smoke socially, that’s great. That is how I am, or how I was pre-pregnancy/baby. Donny can’t really smoke one cig without sliding back into it.
Yay for all of the work! I think it’s really worth it to work hard in stretches, and then you really enjoy the downtime. Seb is finally at an age where I can work and blog harder and it’s making me a lot happier than I’ve been.

Good luck with the quitting smoking. I know it’s hard. I need more ideas on what to blog about. I’m getting behind.

I love TV shows. TV lets you watch people without being watched yourself. How sad is that. Haha! Good luck with everything. You sound super busy. It’ll all pay off but you already know that. :)

1. Wow! You didn’t have to–but thank you for linking me. I’m VERY flattered and far from feeling ripped off, especially that it’s coming from you, so thank you again!!! And feel free to take my blog entries, take it all!
2. Don’t worry, staring at the computer too long actually doesn’t make your vision worse, but it can strain your eyes. My advice is to take a lot of breaks from the computer if you’re on it that long.
3. I hate that. I feel like every time I come prepared with an umbrella, it doesn’t rain. And when I don’t bring it, it just so happens to rain.
4. Jealous. Extremely jealous. I’ve always wanted to visit Singapore and taste their food.
5. My boyfriend use to smoke for a really long time but he quit for two years…BUT due to stress, he’s smoking again. :-/ I should buy him an e-cig.
7. TV shows? Would it be for acting, interviewing, filming, etc? Either way, it sounds exciting rather than a conventional office job.
Best of luck to you!
