Today's pick up is the second to last week of the Winter share of my CSA. Talk about abundance. They don't mess around and this set will probably last us all the way through a Memorial Day trip to javabird & goldings695's place this weekend. Check out what we got ( Read more... )

Life is good.

1. Going to a Janelle Monáe show tonight with all proceeds going to building a well in Africa2. Caught up on some emails and mental house cleaning today. May & June are filling up already in my planner ( Read more... )

This is totally how I feel about my situation and needing to take one business day a week for myself:

Remember my horoscope from yesterday telling me break out of my routine and a new opportunity will arise, essentially? Well, I randomly did but didn't realize it until much later. The sick boy and I went to go meet up with another sick co-worker/friend during lunchtime in Ft. Greene, Brooklyn, near where we all live. It was a gorgeous and sunny ( Read more... )

As for project tracking and invoicing, I think I will stick to Billings as others suggested. Now, I need to track the actual inflow and outflow of the business account. Monthly expenses would be health ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a good day for being productive. While working studiously a main client project I was able to finally cook up a tasty duck rich stock from a carcass we had a couple of weekends ago. The house smelled wonderful. I'll probably use it in a duck & mushroom risotto this weekend with some dried mushrooms we have along with whatever meat ( Read more... )
