Invoicing finished!
3 weeks ago
TL;DR:
- Invoicing is done for Sept, should re-open mid October.
- Health is good and ADHD meds make me able to work consistently.
Invoicing should be finished and sent out, so if you haven't heard from me, just send me a note here and I can try and track down what happened to your submission.
The goal is to have all of this batch finished by the end of September, but it might also be a little optimistic so my actual estimate would be mid-October is around when I will re-open, so we'll see how I do. I think the quarterly opening will work pretty well, so I'm looking forward to that (just being able to spend an hour / time block at a time on it is so much easier that whatever I was doing before).
Health wise I seem to be doing alright, I accidentally ate a few mouthfuls of something with jalapeno in it and recovered in about a week (and was still able to do art for some of that time), which is just amazing given that 6-10mo ago that probably would have taken me out for at least two weeks. The ADHD medication has made a huge difference for just being able to work through brain-fog and haze (even if it's just from my personal list some days because I'm not quite up to snuff). It makes me feel like a normal person that can work normally and I kinda like that. I have some minor things I need to adjust, like actually needing to set timers for my time blocks / pomodoro or having to actually stop and think if something I'm doing is actually productive or urgent right now (hint: Toyhou.se is not very urgent).
I am tentatively getting back into my dissertation project now that the bulk of my art business is reinstated. I have been absolutely spooking myself by thinking I need to jump straight back into the research side of it. Instead, I'm poking around at philosophy of writing both fiction and non-fiction, and I think this is what I need to start filling some of the contextual gaps I need. If not I still have some novels that need writing / re-writing so either way I think tackling writing from both perspectives will be useful.

I can't handle any heat so even thinking about a jalapeno makes me want to run fur za hills.
