things i need to do (posting here so i don't lose it)

• call 540-489-7500 to register with the free clinic. i have my tax info and proof of residency. make an appointment
• when i go, get a new prescription for my allergy meds, and a referral to see someone about depression/anxiety/adhd
• get quotes from some different car insurance places because geico's fuckin ridiculous
• redo my resume, submit it to a bunch of local temp agencies in rocky mount, martinsville, roanoke
• make wpcraft.com, start from a template, write content
• design a few faux sites for portfolio
  • small press + some fake book covers
  • comic book store
  • generic labcorp-y site
  • dog kennel
  • pest control 

i'm really, really torn about trying to go to school full time or work again. if i do go to school, i want to go full time, in person, which would make having any kind of job really difficult unless i can manage to crack the whip on myself and do freelance again. honestly, in  a lot of ways freelance works out best for me, but.. i'm so lazy, undisciplined and unfocused it's really hard for me to work in an unstructured way.. sigh

i wanna become the 'designer + developer" everyone seems to want, which means i mostly need to focus on  being able to do design on demand and not angsting over it for ages, getting decent with front end javascript, and getting deeper into wordpress, php and ruby (nothing fancy, just dumb basic stuff) 

i'd also kind of like to move away from development all together and get into more IT stuff maybe.. i dunno, it seems less stressful 

i dunno if i can support myself on freelancing while trying to get all my certs and crap tho. i'd like to get a part time IT job somewhere that's willing to let me learn the ropes, but around here that's kind of a laughable idea
