Tray of the Week, No. 6

A mixed bag of wins, worries and one tragic jewellery loss, this week's tray features a recap of what I loved and lost, clinked glasses to, made money from, and catastrophised in a never-ending loop.

💼 From Unemployed to Unleashed:

First freelance gig locked in after weeks of unemployed madness/bliss. TY, universe.

🥂 The Holy Trinity:

Is it sad that what I’m looking forward to most this week is a pub lunch with my two ride-or-dies this? Honestly, it’s the little things.

💍 One Stud Short of an Ear:

Lost the back of my earring somewhere in the bush, RIP little clasp. And no, it wasn’t a generic butterfly backing, it was special. Totally had my Kim K crying-over-diamonds moment (sans the diamonds, obvi).

🧮 Some Taxing Thoughts:

Freelance life means I’m suddenly thinking about tax percentages like an accountant on Red Bull. And I have no idea if I’m committing tax fraud. Honestly, sometimes I feel like a baby with a breifcase.

👻 The Friday Scaries:

Freelancing has me paranoid they’ll say “he was useless… don’t invite him back next week”. My anxiety never clocks off. I hear she’s up for a promotion this year.
