Awwwwwiiiiiiiiiggghhhttt!

(That is pronounced in true gangsta phonetics, of course.)

I am officially shaking off the Bad Ju-Ju I have been wading in and focusing on the good. I really do believe in the whole idea of Karma and Bad attracts Bad and Good attracts Good, and all that happy horse crap.

I have been incredibly slow for work for the last few weeks - something that almost never happens and considering I work for myself - this is not a good thing.

No work = No money (right before the big departure to Home of the Mouse in 24 days. Sigh.)

Needless to say, this particular thing is not the worst thing that could happen. I have had an incredibly great first half of the year. I made a lot of money.

So, what's the problem?

I don't know HOW to have nothing to do. I am USED to being busy. REALLY BUSY. And this came at a time when it seemed the whole world just STOPPED. The kids finished school. I finished teaching. I finished my class. I finished my work website. I have next to no work. All at the same time.

So, why can't I enjoy a little downtime? I DON'T FUCKING KNOW. My house is spotless. I have done everything from fertilize the entire acre of lawn I have with a push spreader. I have bought topsoil and filled in wholes in said lawn and planted new seed. I have weeded ever inch of my yard. I have cleaned the pool so much it is spotless. I am contemplating staining the 600 square foot deck - WITH A PAINT BRUSH. Someone - send Meds!

You'd think I could just enjoy the kids, right? Do some fun stuff with them, no? Guess what - THEY are ENJOYING their downtime - WITHOUT asking me for anything!

So - today is a new day. I am sending out the Good Vibes in order to get the Good Vibes. This really helped....
