I like that they give me an excuse to talk to strangers and to express my creative side.
I wish the work was more predictable and steady. I can never tell how many freelance assignments I’m going to get in a given month.
To start working some push-ups into my daily routine, to take a couple 10-minute walking breaks throughout the day, to get to bed by a decent hour every night and to squeeze in a couple cheesy Lifetime movies on TV
