My Day as a Freelancer: My Wife’s View vs. Reality

Wife’s View:
“Oh, they’re living the dream! Wake up late, work in PJs, sip tea while watching the sunrise.”
 
Reality:
Up early, quick workout, dressed and ready for meetings like everyone else.
 
Wife’s View:
“They’re always at cute cafés, networking with inspiring people.”
 
Reality:
Coffee shop = overpriced latte + praying for stable WiFi
Also, why is everyone around me typing like their life depends on it?
 
Wife’s View:
“Afternoons are for relaxing and catching up on life.”
 
Reality:
3 pm slump hits. Still 40 emails to go.
Product training video: play… rewind… huh?
 
Freelancing is a mix of hustle, tea, and chasing clarity.
