It's only the 3rd day of April and... it felt like summer out there this afternoon. I love it! I mean, it worries me, but I love it!

This week has been quite hectic -- I'm working a big contract job that only pays once a month. Normally this would be just fine with me but I've just finished up one of my weekly-paying contracts and was running on fumes with that one so this first month of work with no pay has left me short on my rent! It'll get paid, certainly, when the pay cheque comes in some…

Ladies,

Now, I'm not advocating wifi signal theft. And that's why I'm at Denny's on my 12th cup of coffee after having eaten a huge breakfast of bacon, eggs, sausage, and pancakes. So. Stuffed.

I have no wifi at home currently because it's being moved from the old house to the new one and was cut off too soon. So for today and tomorrow, I'm on the run looking for cool places to hang out and do work with my trusty little netbook. Oh the wild life of a blogger, I tell ya.

So here we are -- Day 5 of laryngitis!

Well, for the most part if most people can't quite name it, it's likely something I've had to do today.

Setting up websites is at the outer-most reaches of my skill set. I can write, I can edit, I can network, I can design, I can install and upgrade WordPress and…

These past two weeks have been amazingly difficult! As a freelance writer/editor/journalist/code monkey, I tend to be quite busy most of the time. I take on multiple contract jobs at once in order to ensure that I've always got a paycheque coming in and my bills are paid.
