24-hour Recovery Connections Part 41
11:10 am. Cold and rainy here. I get off at 5 pm. That's when the struggle begins. Tonight I plan to vacuum while the pups are eating, then I will cook dinner, walk the dogs then probably do more cleaning.
I find staying busy the first couple of days helps me stay sober. I'm trying to mix it up a little to break the normal routine of pouring that first drink.

So, in case I haven't made it clear why I've been meeting with clients in and out of town... My big client suddenly cut off all outside contracts including mine at the end of January. So I've been moving and shaking and pitching and everything else to try to land more positive revenue. Finally I got a solid bite, though, and I start working with my new big client on Monday. It even pays slightly better than my old one.
In other words... this is the self-employed version of "I was out of work for a month but I got a new job" So yay!
