Hi, Hive friends! Just dropping by to say hi as I was inactive for 12 days here on Hive as life gets busy real quick.
Almost a month ago, I wrote my frustration and disappointment here, in a previous rant: @itravelrox/i-am-frustrated-and-i-am-in-a-mess-is-this-depression-or-just-disappointment
Now, my frustration has been answered with good news.
I got paid and landed at least two short projects for online jobs. I prayed that hopefully everything would be settled and now it's done. I have a prospective third client but waiting for their decision if they would like to hire me for my service. For now, I am happy to do my side hustles as fast as I can.
A sketch in Normandy on the beach of Arromanches
My husband decided that we needed a quick vacation in Normandy. We went to the beach of Arromanches and I sketched the historical harbor remains during the débarquement or disembarkation or landings in Normandy.
Creating a sketch or painting helps me relax and prepare myself before starting my side hustles.
Anyway, my side hustles are not full-time jobs as I am busy with my children. So, I need to find a balance between doing house chores and making money on the side.
This is just me trying to regain what I used to do before having kids. And I can say, I have this self-fulfillment of doing what I always love to do. Updating my WordPress travel blog has been paid off. Yahoo!
Also, our house is still a mess with all the toys around but I've been trying to pick up now and then.
My ultimate complaint right now is my computer mouse which I have trouble doing the "right click". That means I need to buy a new mouse. It is very frustrating when I have to be quick to open a new tab but it won't click right away because of a technical problem. Well, it's a small problem but can be solved later on. I am wondering if I should buy a cute and colorful mechanical keyboard with a mouse to have some pop-up colors on my work desk. It depends but for sure, I need a new and better functional computer mouse.
That's it for today's self-talk.
