Life has been tickety boo over here.


1) Freelancing gig 1 is still awesome. I love making shit up and people saying how great it is. It's like fanfic.


2) Freelancing gig 1? Does that mean there is a freelancing gig 2? Why yes it does! Someone I interviewed with reached out 4 mons later because she couldn't get me out of her head. I mentioned I'd started freelancing and she jumped all over it, even agreeing to pay the number I tossed out as a starting point for negotiating. 24 hrs/wk at 40$/hr. I don't expect it to be quite as much fun, but if I can keep these two gigs, I've basically replaced what I brought in from 'real jobs'.


3) D and I are double vaxxed! We got our Gen X cocktail yesterday (AZ for dose 1, Moderna for dose 2). So far I haven't had any major side effects, and Derek is tired.


4) VV finished Grade 2! Not that there was any question about that. But she's a smart little thing — As and Bs on the report card, and recognizable growth in taking criticism and thinking things through.


5) Ontario lockdown is ending! We have a guy in the basement finishing the drywall (only 2 months after originally scheduled), and with the money I'm adding, we can start thinking about other purchases (new couch!) as well.


What have I forgotten?

Gig 2 starts on Monday July 12 — I'm getting nervous about how much time it'll suck. But yay money!

Your jobs sound amazing — what are you writing?

Gig 1 is education writing. A local college has a computer dev program, and created their own lab to generate virtual training and give the students some hands on practice. They grew by leaps and bounds (yay Covid?), but a lot of the students have English as a second or third language, and they are coders first, so they needed a writer.

Gig 2 is writing for grant applications.
