contracting

Went through two demand weeks of work. I tried to keep up my personal life during crunch time, so it was stressful at times.

My body went into shock because I cut back sleep, but it's good practice for motherhood.

The experience gave me food for thought about the business and the nature of contracting. There is a certain amount of over-promising to get the job, but then subcontractors like me scramble to uphold unrealistic expectations.

At the same time, I am very grateful for the work. Need to make enough money to focus on my other priorities, including building the business.

Life is so good right now. Who knew unemployment would give me this appreciation for work and life?
