    And I am saddened by the fact that my work hasn't been paid yet, at least I didn't give all piece of translation, I was paid just for the first 25 pages. It was literary translation and the woman ( apparently author) seemed to me strange, and I should have thought better before taking it. But I enjoy this kind of work and wanted to put it on my cv, unfortunately no news since May...

    She apologized saying that their company is out of money now.

    I really enjoyed translating her piece of work and building a new universe in a different language, I even noticed some historical mistakes and rewrote text in the right variant.
    It's historical love romance with mystery elements and happy end. Whilst I don't agree with everything in the story, the heroine becomes close to me, although it may sound strange.

    That isn't good of that company, but maybe you could still put it on your CV?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I could put it on my CV, but the potential clients could have access only to first pages and I am supposed to ask for agreement.

    Yes, but I doubt I will receive permission, maybe some pages. But you are right, it's better to ask anyway.

    Sometimes the black thoughts occur to my mind, but I try to move them out...

    Apparently nothing new, but once again my pcos symptoms have got milder and my doc can see progress. She insists that I should be more patient.

    It's strange but after severe symptoms have gone away, I've begun thinking about how wonderful it will be if I ever become mother, especially of a daughter...

    I don't think that's strange, lovely. I have friends with PCOS who have kids, and my cousin had endometriosis so severe she was told there was no way shed ever conceive - her daughter is now 14 years old
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Now I'm starting to find a job and move on, and it's not easy.

    I try to forget about my last work and it's stupid but I'm still feeling connected to the heroine of the romance I translated.

    And maggie's advice was really helpful, I try to write 3 positives every day.
