Renew Business Registration
Posted on 11.20.09 to Parenting, Personal, Work by Joan
Love my business registration number: ALL PRIME NUMBERS! And very cute pattern too!
I received an email today, reminding me to renew my business registration, which expires in January next year. The first thing that hit me was: has it really been almost one year? Then again, Christmas is just round the corner. I guess I never really thought about how long it’s been.
Looking back, it has been quite a ride and I haven’t looked back. Sure, I miss being in the office with the Munkies and working on set, but it has been awesome being a full-time photographer thus far. It’s something that I truly enjoy doing, especially more so now that I have the ability to focus on it. I wish I had that little bit more time though, to experiment with photography to push myself and to do so much more. But I have been so busy! I am certainly not complaining, however!
I’m feeling a little displaced at the moment, though. Clare’s done with school for the year. I gave up my office space a few months back (because it didn’t make economical sense for all of us in there to have such a huge space — it was a bad thing for our businesses if all of us were in the office all the time). So while I started the year with an office to go to, and a routine of sending my kid to school every day, I suddenly feel very odd having her at home all the time. At the same time, I feel even more odd having to send her to her grandmother’s only to go home and work. I kind of feel mean.
I remember feeling guilty when I was at work — whenever I experienced a downtime and took a break from work, I always felt that the time could have been better spent with Clare or running household errands. Hence, the guilt of sending her off somewhere, if it not school. I don’t feel so bad when I have to go for French class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, whereas on other days, when I have no meetings or anywhere to go to, I rather she be at home with me. (This is not to say that she doesn’t occasionally suffer from cabin fever — those would be the days when we both go crazy on each other.)
I suppose, that was one reason why I left my previous job in the first place anyway — to spend more time with Clare! And I’m loving (almost) every moment of it!
