Work advanced with 2 clients and proposal sent pitching work with a 3rd.

I pulled and cut branches off a fallen tree to get it out of the driveway.

Called the City yet again to see about a missed garbage pick up.

Tomorrow: picking up the pace again on some research data that needs to be entered and answer some email work I've put aside.

For now: to the pillow,

I'm going a little insane because I'm pushing hard to get one client through a crunch time and get an internal process started for her that will cut down the hours I'm working for her. I'm basically pulling 40 hours a week for her right now. Not including other clients. Another client is in total.scope drift and I have started saying no to them, and it's upsetting them. Oh well. They are mostly upset because they waited too long to try and set a meeting and I am unavailable. They are very disorganized and they want to try and throw that on me, but it's not. I've been clear, and I think they know this is an issue that they need to clean up, not me. They want a monthly meeting but they don't try to set it up until like the week before. Well sorry, um literally booked up generally two weeks ahead of time, but additionally, I am going on vacation. I am not at their beck and call, and they are learning that. (That said, I have bent over backwards for them. This is the first time I've said that meeting during the time frame they want is not workable. In 8 months of an ongoing contract)

On top.of all.of that, landed a new client. ..and it really is time to hire that assistant I need. So that's my summer project for my business. Hire an assistant and continue to land some new clients.
