Weird health....

I've been feeling a little bit weird lately. For the past week my body can't seem to get enough sleep...no matter how much sleep I get the night before, I wake up feeling this cloud over my mind and my eyes are burning like I didn't sleep a wink.

It doesn't seem to go away whether I sleep more or not. One night this past week I actually let myself sleep a full 10 hours and it didn't make a difference. I have no idea what this is...I've tried exercising more, drinking coffee, eating more, eating less.... nothing works.

I DID have one or two nights of bad sleep though. This last Wednesday night I slept at 12am and then I dreamt I was working on a project proposal due the next day...and somehow, the more I thought about it in my dream, I found myself wide awake and worrying about that same proposal. UGH. So I didn't fight it, I got up and started working... 3am. How sad.

The good news is that I got the proposal to my client on time and the initial word is that it "looks good". I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

So far things are promising. I've got a good pace going...I have 2 projects I am working on this month, with a few tiny ones that trickle in every week or so, and I've received at least a verbal confirmation that I've gotten accepted for Projects in November. Not bad!!

But I've learned a long time ago never to celebrate until I have money in hand. You really can't count on verbal promises....anything can happen.

The best part about business so far is being able to have a business budget now. I'm able to invest some of my profits so far into equipment, insurance, and some "entertainment" business meals. That's satisfying. It's far better then spending my own savings that's for sure. I'm still not out of danger. I could still fail if I'm not extremely careful...but it's been hopeful.

My girl is keeping me happy. I really can't say much more then that. As if anyone cares? OK OK, I will say it's a long distance relationship. Yes...it sucks. Chances are stacked against us from the start. But the nice thing is that we've both been in this situation before and this time we've decided to try things a little different. Perhaps it will work? I'm hopeful...but I know how painful it will be to fail in it again.

She's coming to visit me in February. I can't wait!!!
