Keeping a balance between work and pleasure can be a difficult quest. I tend to spend more time lately putting off work for pleasure ie: riding my bike, even late into the night. Definitely not answering my phone as much as I used to. It’s been tough lately. Burnout lack of pay and incentive is taking the wind out of my sails. I think I’m actually going to have to break down and get a second job. If I do it will have to be driving a cab. I don’t think I can do anything else. I really need to be by myself in a working situation. I can’t have someone hovering over me all day.
Today I was coming home from a day on the bike and as I’m carrying my bike up the stairs from chinatown I saw a poor guy making himself a pair of shoes out of cardboard and string. I’m broke myself and I couldn’t buy the guy a pair of shoes, but sheeesh! Such an awefull thing to have to see in this day and age. I feel like in a way I’m teeter tottering on the edge myself half the time too. I feel like that way things are going I could be making my own pair of shoes out here someday.
Just gets me thinking how much I need to appreciate what I have right now and in this moment.
Just another day in the big city.
