>Weekend’s over, time to go back to the grind.

I’ve got some professional invoices now, finally got Quicken going.
I bought it last year to keep track of all the contractor jobs I was doing in order to make it easy for taxes. It didn’t end up that way, I still walked in there with a shoebox full of receipts and walked out with a $550 bill. Granted, I got $1200 total — not bad for being on unemployment, but I want to make sure everything’s in order for this year, in addition to just knowing what I’ve got.

I’ve started making a little bit of money here and there now. Keeping track of everything in bills is a good way to know where you are, it’s a wonder I didn’t do it sooner 😉 Well, I know why I didn’t… but it’s just easier now.
I have investments lined up too, for as soon as I make more money.
I’m planning on joining the Better Business Bureau, I have to get a licence for having a business out of my home in Holyoke, and once I have that I can get a business checking, which enables me to open an account with various wholesalers so I can start doing the resale instead of paying it. All of these things take money, and I’m only a little away from being able to do any given one of them.

It’s much easier to do all this while having a full time job then without. I can easily earn money via the business and keep it separate, where before I using it for such superfluous things as, oh… I don’t know… food?

I have kept at it, it’s what I love, and enjoy doing what I’m doing, both job-ingly, and side job-ingly. Now just to keep in touch with friends and family. I’ve been quite selfish lately, not contacting anyone, and pretty soon it’s going to take it’s toll. I know I’ll get to it, but when?
