The Internet was off for a few days, and I concluded that it was for the best. it allowed me to write some things offline that i had planned to post here, but now, I feel no need to do so at the moment.
Instead I prefer to talk about other things for the day. My husband's birthday for one. I called, but got the answering machine, so I left a message and shall call him again later. He hates a big deal to be made about it, and I don't plan to make one anyway, just to tell him happy birthday.
I stood up for myself today. The client, who'se book I am doing got rude with me on the phone and I had to tell him off. I refused to allow him to speak to me any way he felt he could. I was doing my best to accommedate the man and he said that he didn't plan on talking to me again, as though I had done him something, so I had to interject, tell him I found his comments rude and uncalled for and that I would not put up with him speaking to me that way, and good day, sir! I hung up. It has been a strange experience. I know that he has never done such work before and that he is sensitve to have it finished at a certain time. I am mindful of all of his concerns, but he seemed to take my good nature and try to trample on it, and it was then that I put my foot down.

I have to say that i am surprised that I am not feeling as I would in the past, worried, shaking with the thought that I did something out of my comfort zone and may be 'in trouble." in this instance, I did what was necessary. The book is complete, i am pleased with what I have accomplished and that is that.
