Point 3: LOSING YOUR MARBLES AND EVERYTHING ELSE
Walking around leaving jobs half done- this actually happens! I once received a call in the middle of writing a report and the person on the line wanted a contact number so off I trotted to find it. 10 minutes later I returned to the phone to find it off the hook. Strange I thought and picked it up to hear someone shouting hello.
'Hello,' I shouted back, 'who are you?' Only for the reality to kick in when I realised I had wandered off and got caught up in something else. I can’t blame it on old age…. I’m 40! When you have so many things to do its easy to forget. Like putting a wash cycle on to find that you have not took in out in time to dry your daughters clothes, or forgetting to feed the dog so he is looking at you like you’re the most evil person in the world, and (this is a true story) he lies in front of the living room door as a booby trap so you go arse over tit and end up with your face sliding across the laminate flooring. I suppose he thinks that’s Karma.
It’s the little things that get me the most though, like trying to put the milk on the kettle stand or answering the phone with my keyboard mouse, not to mention the endless conversations I have with the dog and cat.
It’s even worse that I get frustrated with they don’t respond.

I can sympathize... been there, done that and probably still do. LOL!

yup yup. And I'm still looking for my gloves. Took 'em off, put 'em down somewhere and now they're invisible.

This is exactly why I need another self employed person here with me. We keep each other sane. Sanish.
Im not sure if sane is the right word haha but certainly we could offer each other support
🤣
We need a steemit support group for the self employed.
YES! Its a lonley world sometimes !
We should, like, get a Discord channel or something.
