What Retirement?

As you may have noticed - I haven't been blogging. Because despite my "retirement", I have been working like a crazy person. I thought I'd have a moment to take it easy, get adjusted, blog, make dinner every night, see friends and just... re-calibrate a bit. But instead, I added a fourth freelance casting job to the three I already had lined up and had to turn down 3 more. So I've been working. All.the.time. How is it that you can leave a job to work for yourself and claim back some of your own life, and be even busier than before? I was on the phone with an agent friend last week who started his own business two years ago about this very conundrum. He said, "If you're anything like me, once you work for yourself, you work all the time and drink a lot more." Not too far off.

But on the other hand, its a good thing. Who knows what it'll be like in 6 months, but for the moment, having to turn work down is better than not having any at all. So I will take it.

But I would like to be here more. And the good news is, you haven't missed much in my life, cause I've just been working. And so has Geoff. Luckily wedding season is starting to slow down a bit and not having a wedding every weekend has made this past month liveable. Now if I could just find time to de-clutter and reorganize my apartment, I know life would be even more liveable. *sigh*. Baby steps.

Bear with me. I'll be back soon (I hope).
