Being a freelance writer and mother at the same time is no joke. If you think being a career woman is hard, you're right. If you think being a full-time mother is hard, you're right again. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I am not a robot. The HWAITING spirit is good but maybe, perhaps, probably I am pushing myself too hard. When I am tired, when my body begs for rest...for s short sit-down, I refuse and tell myself, "Marsha, Hwaiting! Marsha, you can do it. Go go Go! Marsha never say die. No quitting....Go Go Go!"
Until now, my battery koyak (goner), my engine also tak boleh pakai (cannot use anymore). Doctor say, "Marsha, slow down. Slow down. Your heart beat is very fast, your blood pressure is borderline liao! How old are you now? Aiyo!!! Get some rest for crissakes! Sit down. Stop rushing. Breathe properly"
OK OK OK....now that my engine have to rely on medication to run properly, I listen now.
No more rushing around. Time to management that rising stress level of mind with a level head...it's gone ignored for far too long and my body is protesting loud and clear. I have to remind myself time and time again now...Marsha, you're a human being. You're not a robot. Relax.
So, if you want to work from home and have come to my blog via my website, please heed my advice...learn from my mistake. Draw the line very clearly. There's you...then there's business. Both are equally important.
When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

Now only you begin to do something about it? Gotta wait til the Doctor say then only you 'kam-wan'??
Go for a massage, girl! seriously. Let your battered and sore body recover for 3 days doing nothing. It starts with a full body massage. I went to a blind massgae center today in Brickfileds. Did my body a whole world of good!
