Yesterday I got a phone call. It was a managing director. She was looking for an accountant. She had found my website. This morning I have had already the interview. And if everything goes well, I will work for them as an accountant. It will be about 8 hours a week, but this is enough to stay cool re money. I will have time to work on my book and my export-import project.

I didn't sleep very well this night.

After my test I haven't found a productive working routine.

What I have done so far: I have written down again 10 goals. I always work with 10 goals at the same time(regarding all parts of my life). I have to make them more concrete: deadlines, quantities, next activities and so on. This could be an activity for this evening, at least I can start working on it.

Routine for this evening: to write down my activities/next steps for tomorrow.

I am shocked. It is already 15 days ago that I passed an important test. This time I managed everything and I am a senior accountant now. Preperation time was 3 years. I am very happy about this success, even though I see that it is a dead end road, when I want to make more money than the average people do.

I wanted to get this qualification as a security, because I thought as an accountant I will always make so much money that I can survive.

Another Monday, only confronted with myself.

On Saturday I prepared the salad for the cooking book where I can mention my website as well.

I found very fresh green lettuce and champignons and all the other ingridients I needed.
I took the first picture from the lettuce, champignons, onion and so on as I bought it.
I took the second picture from the finished salad on a white plate, background was read with a white napkin on the right side of the plate and a baguette. As I am not a food photographer it was not so easy and I am not sure if the results are really good.

I have piles of goods (blankets, bags), that I don't like to sell anymore. It became clearer to me by the time that I want to concentrate on journals. I cannot sell everything. But last year I thought I have to make a decision. So I ordered goods, just to have something.

I want to sell journals, but till now I do not have journals. My first Indian supplier (which I met in person already twice) had sent samples. I asked for the prices. One price for an album was a moon price. I haven't heard anything from him so far. Yesterday I picked up the pictures from the photografer. My blankets and the journals, where I don't know the prices are on it. The pictures are nice. But they are only for a very short use, when I'm not able to order those journals for a reasonable price.
