Little Break, Writing Snippets and Chin Update

I just got up a few hours ago... Actually, we left at 4:00 this morning and got back at around 9:30 am. I had breakfast of fried egg and spicy sausage (sans the skin) and slept. It so hot and humid today!!! Anyway, I got out of bed around 3:30 pm to get some work done. There's nothing much to say except that I will be going away for a little while in June. Yup. So excited. Turns out, I'll get to see my darling niece then. Also, I hope to see my other niece (who's still a bun in the oven! lol!) too. My sister's due in July so I hope we'd still be with them for the birth. I haven't really written any articles for my first content-writing affiliate. Since you can submit articles anytime (but, of course, you won't get paid unless you reach the minimum quantity at the end of a pay period) I've been less than motivated to get some articles in there. I guess the "idea barrel" is still saturated at the moment. I am, however, working at writing short ar

Fifty Hours Later and Tax Call

My chin, 50 hours after the fact: See how dark it is? It's actually a big scab now... still tender though. Not yet cooked. lol! Didn't realize that that big an area of skin broke. Blech. Hope it doesn't turn into a scar. I'd have to be careful not to have anything scratch at it before it totally dries up. Having bruises and bumps over the years have taught me the value of cold compresses and warm compresses. As long as there's no broken bones (haven't had any, thank goodness!) we must immediately put a cold compress on the area to avoid too much swelling. Don't leave it on the skin for more than 20 minutes or you'll get frostbite and make it worse. After an hour or two, apply the cold compress again. That really saved this bump from growing than what it could've been -- I imagine, the size of a golf ball. Do the cold compress treatment many times a day for the first two days. Now, I'm doing warm compress treatment to break down the hematoma (is t

Right on Sched and Bruised Chin

My chin at four hours after the fact: Almost nine hours after the fact: I'm right on sched with tax reports. I just have to call my friend to get all the other pieces of information. And after making sure everthing's all right, I can probably send this tonight. Yay. Unfortunately, there's been accident today and I got in to a fight -- with the floor! It was the chair's fault! Obviously, I lost. What's more, I'm going to take ID pictures tomorrow!!! ACK! It's a bad hematoma and bump with scrapes to top 'em all off. But no broken teeth, nothing... thank goodness. The other side of my jaw's sore now though. Possibly, a delayed reaction from the impact. Dang. OK, back to more ice packs... Turns out, there's something going on at my friend's house that she asked if she could call me later. All right, looks like these tax reports are going to be sent tomorrow then.

Working on a Friday Night

No, this is neither transcription nor content-writing because this week's work concerning those are done. I am, now, finishing the tax report for my bookkeeping client... You know what? They're more of a friend than a client so I'm going to keep this on a very informal note and tone. Ergo, she is my friend who's asked me to make their business' tax reports and in-house books for them. That's about right. I got a call yesterday morning and their tax people were asking when they'd pick up the report and the check for the BIR. I said, "Well, I just got the documents so you can get them on Monday." See, I checked the tax calendar and this particular due is due (lol!) on the 25th. Since they want to get things over with, way before the deadline (which I appreciate as I do the same), that gives me this weekend to wrap this up. But something came up that gave me the impression that I might be going out on Sunday so I've only got today and tomorrow to
