I'm in the "hangover" part of having submitted the project to my client.
It's not the fact that this piece is probably going to get trad-published to great acclaim (for them) that gets me.
It's that I did a lot of client therapy during this project, & the cognitive dissonance of sitting with someone's panic over fancy industry goals considering the state of the world is... well, it ain't nothing.
I feel ashamed that I ever cared about goals of my own, TBH. There's just no point to most of it.
@MLClark hugs. That's rough.
@MLClark I wish you were closer, geographically and I could invite you over for brunch or cocktails or whatever to just chill and decompress for a couple of hours. I know you were sick and had dome down time. Are you "caught up"? Have you had some time for yourself, outside of the sick time?
Next up:
1) Newsletter (in-progress)
2) Recordings for Patreon
3) Overdue book review
4) Monday morning walk in the park, catching up on a whole whack of messages, including another 30 min of VM from one uncle. 🙃
5) Dirty limericks for CoSo
6) Find my 42 / * again. Maybe it's under the couch cushions...?
