No free time
Up until about 5pm today my April calendar was surprisingly free. This is very rare. Normally having a free day or week is pretty amazing, let alone an entire month. I had planned to catch up on all those things that I consider overdue — the business paperwork, scuba equipment servicing, buying a wetsuit, harvesting wild plants, investment decisions, writing articles and courses, recreational programming, and a good deal of relaxation.
At 5pm a nice client called and asked if they could book me for the next four weeks. There's a few executive decisions that need to be made their end, but there's an excellent chance that it will go ahead.
The way I figure it is that I'm exchanging one month in return for sufficient funds for five perpetual days. Put another way, this potential month of work means I can five days a year less each year for the rest of my life. That's pretty good.
My next free period is in October, which we have been planning for a holiday since last year.
