I love it when a plan comes together…

… or in my case, several plans.

I didn’t realise what a turning point the trip to Málaga would turn out to be. So again, thanks to everyone who made it possible for me to go without racking up more credit card debt. In the end I only spent money on train fare and two lunches out, so it was a fairly cheap trip, but very rich in experiences. I think it also helped to have a couple of days on my own – and being by the sea certainly helped!

Anyhow, these are the various projects I’ve been working on since I got off chemo last summer: tapas tours, Seville website & blog (with forum), social media management, the Sevilla Store, and English classes (specifically for restaurants). So far the only ones bringing in a bit of income are the tapas tours and social media stuff – my private English classes, such as they were, finished last week for the summer. But it does look as though things are coming together…

social media, work

And loving it!

I’m working on the laptops even more than before and the time flies by. In between I get to the gym for yoga and also do my far-too-few English classes. Getting this new job doing the social media thang has really changed my life! In the sense that I am doing work that I am really enjoying, and I feel a lot more focused. Guys, this is just the break I’ve been needing. Especially as this fits into the category of “work that is exactly what I’d want to do anyhow when I get out of bed in the morning” … which is something I’ve been looking for all my life.

But it’s also important to me that I don’t stop my daily posts here. Doing this was something that really kept me going while I was sick after ops and on chemo. My personal scrapbook. My home. And it’s also where I get to visit with you guys. So, hasta mañana!

the week that was

Since last Sunday’s multi-tasking az post lots has been going on. The best news is that I’ve been hired for that part-time social media job I told you about, and I am so thrilled about that. We had a four-hour meeting on Friday and got a lot done. My new client is happy with my work and this is very good news indeed.

Other news is a bit up & down. One of my four students has told me they have to stop classes mid-May because of work obligations. Nog has managed to at least pay his share of the rent this month, but I’ll have to pay for the bills and food. I sure hope things pick up for him next month. Then what was supposed to be a quick vaccination job at the vet’s  on Friday ended up costing 100 euros!  Okay, part of that was stocking up on Azar’s special prescription diet food. But it turned out that Loki’s feline herpes is acting up again, which meant getting some very expensive medicated eye gel for him. But that should be it now until he gets his balls cut off in July. For the record, Loki gets just as hysterical in the cat cage as Azar does. Go figure.

The happy news of the week was Azar’s 15th birthday. He’s been enjoying eating asparagus ever since (tis the season) and is looking very fit. Other great news is that I booked my first tapas tour! Well, the first paid one – god knows I’ve been doing them for years. So that’ll happen in a couple of weeks. Oh, and Manolo (of Málaga apt fame) called to tell me about a seminar being put on by the chamber of commerce about marketing online next Thursday and asked if I wanted to go with him – reckon that should be very interesting and will fit right in with my new job. Seems like I am making connections all over the place these days, so who knows? Maybe those five jobs will start coming together after all. It certainly feels like things are opening up at last.

How was your week?

cancer, life, work

Things are getting back to “normal” here again after the annual upheaval that is Semana Santa. Part of me really likes how everybody’s routines are totally disrupted during this week, even if they don’t attend any of the processions. I know that if I didn’t live next to the cathedral I wouldn’t bother going out to see them (though I did the first few years I lived here) and I know I would miss that. Sure, it’s a week of unpaid holidays and getting out my front door can sometimes be difficult because of the crowds, but it’s also kind of refreshing to have things shaken up a bit. As usual, this year all of my students (all = 4) cancelled classes for the week, but I ended up working more than ever…
