Short and random: A scatter-brained blurp

Challenge....FAIL

I didn't write yesterday. Booooo me. But such is life. Here I am now.

Want to know how much of a scatter brain I am? Tuesday night, I signed up for a free online typing class (because I never learned to type properly) and spent nearly four hours taking lessons on and off during down time at work. This was in anticipation of my new venture as a freelance transcriptionist to make some extra money on the side. It was going so well, I thought, "Hey, I can do this every night to improve my typing skills."  Wednesday, guess what I did?... Not practice my typing. I spent all of my free time at work researching Contract Deeds for Real Estate. You see, my husband and I have a single family rental that we are looking to sell, and the interested parties don't qualify for adequate financing. We figured that we could finance the deal and help them on their way to home ownership, and we would be no worse off than renting to them. Regardless of how different and unfocused the tasks that I choose to do during my downtime, they are both very relevant to the things that I am trying to do with my life in the short- and long-term. Hopefully writing will get me back on the path to being more focused and mindful.

While I'm thinking about it, I'm going to go to that website to practice my typing right now. Challenge: Write again tomorrow. Perhaps I'll share my musings about this whole Contract deed thing.
