Finding a Balance

Finding a balance in my life is very difficult. I love to have quiet time, like the nearly two weeks at the beginning of August. But money is an issue. Surprise. So I worry when I don't have a lot of work booked on my calendar. It always feels like I will never work again. I worked for Gary again this week. But then there was nothing on the horizon.

But, joy of joys, my Kelly rep whose job it is to keep those jobs rolling in got back from maternity leave last Friday. She is so good for me. I told her how her replacement did nothing for any of the Kelly temps. Big virtual tears. So happy she is back. I just got a two week assignment. That means I will work for 3 weeks in August. That is exactly how I like it. That is balance. The best part is that Adrian is coming at the end of those two weeks. Yes, that is a perfect balance.


Finished a book by a new author, The Garden of Evil. I think it was on sale at Audible. It's kind of my new mystery genre - Italian detectives. This one takes place in Rome and involves art big time. The focus is about serial killers and Caravaggio. I enjoyed the complex characters and the insight into the art of Caravaggio. I could almost see the paintings. Fortunately, the violence was not as graphic as the art descriptions.
