Testing, testing…
I completed a project today for a client. I’m delivering the work tomorrow. Actually, it’s up already on the server. it’s just not tied in to the rest of their site. That’s just a matter uploaded two changed menu files.
The test is going to be seeing what becomes of my mental state afterwards. Will the depression hit and if so, how hard and for how long?
This was a little project—adding Gallery to thier site and customizing it so it looks baked right in. I figured it would be a day’s worth of work, which experience tells me turns into three, so I quoted two. It’s coming in just under two, so I’m pleased with that.
I spread the work out over four days this week, took frequent breaks and never worked to the point of frustration or exhaustion. And, since I have a huge problem with billing, I made out the bill yesterday so I can leave it with them tomorrow. Saves a stamp too.
I missed my every-other-Thursday cleaning this week, purposely, so I can do it on Saturday. Cleaning usually has positive effects on my outlook, so we’ll see how that goes.
I have a bunch of other little things to keep myself occupied in hopes of warding off the blackness. And if they don’t get done right away, there’s no harm done.
Awareness is the first step in dealing with a problem. I’m aware of the issues and am taking steps to ward them off. I’d like to see a different outcome than last month.
