Anne N. Mouse: Blog

So I looked at fiver, and guru. Not sure that I saw much being offered in the way of proofreading. I'm also not sure what is the proper price to ask, or what is a reasonable offer by the person asking for the service. I know what I need, I need to replace the income I'm making at brute labor. Why? I've been trying to piecemeal do repairs on my mother's house. Which is very problematic after I've spent 8+ hours at brute labor, since house repairs are mostly brute labor... Roofs, plumbing etc, are all activities that require intense physical effort. But trying to do that on top of 8, or more hours of physical labor in the form of climbing, lifting, carrying of my daily work is not going well...
So feeling overwhelmed at trying to access the opportunities represented by the internet, I entered what I call a black period. Not a blue period. But a black period. That period is not over, because I still have felt entirely inadequate to the whole project of accessing the income opportunities of the net.

i hate to say it but i have to be stupid. maybe even not fit to live on earth. i look at the sites fiver and guru.... i see i don't know how to price or market service i wont offer anyway, cause no one would want to pay me to do anything...
should stop writing at all. not worthy.

One thing I need desperately to do is to increase my income. However I feel that I'm entirely unqualified to do anything that could earn more money, or so disorganized (ala time management) that I would not be a good person to add to a team. I would maybe like to write more, but often I spend hours, days even playing video games, and there definitely is no money in them for me. For the creators maybe. But really I think that my writing is among the worst that I've ever read. I don't seem to improve in my writing quality, quantity or anything about my writing. Indeed other than this blog, I've written nothing in more than two years....

I tried to import some photos from my phone. The computer says it cannot do this as it has not got the password for the phone. I did not see a prompt for a password. Anyway now the computer won't stop trying to get to the phone no matter what I do. I can't get the photo share dialogue box to close and stay closed. It won't accept a 'cancel' button (which it has) but instead opens a few minutes later saying something went wrong, do I want to continue. Mouseing the cancel button closes the dialogue box for a while then it pops back up!

Or at least not entirely. The pain I had on Monday that the doc diagnosed as arthritis? Someone here suggested some stretches to see it that would help. They have (so maybe I have soft tissue [read muscle] issues as well as arthritis) so I've been doing those as well as a few the army taught us to help loosen up. Some pain as the muscles say, 'Hey idiot, you haven't been stretching, and now you start!' but I expect most of that to ease if I can keep up the stretching. Mostly that will be an issue of 'remembering' as I get busy, and hey I'm exhausted from my job to the point that today after driving about 30 miles I had to pull off the road and close my eyes for at least an hour. I didn't quite sleep, though I did snore. I could hear it but wasn't quite awake enough to move to stop it.... Hopefully I can find something a little less labor intensive. I do like that I'm as buff as ever, but could stand not to feel like 15 minutes of driving, morning or evening is going to put me to sleep....
