Okay. I was all set to leave my current job by the end of this month. Let's just say that ain't gonna happen, at least by my choice. First, there was about $1500 worth of dental work to be done. (Two crowns and two root canals are expensive.) Second, I will own a house that is up for rent again come November. Which means I will have to pay all the carrying costs out of my own pocket. *Sigh* At least I have a job.
However, I have a wonderful property management agency I go through that is going to help me deal with the issues about my rental house. And I have discovered I may actually enjoy being in business for myself. Kind of a thrill to ride the ups and downs. If I can deal with this, maybe I do have what it takes to work for myself.
So what does all this mean? I just have to change my expectations of what the next few months will hold. I will be at the job I currently have, even though it is less than ideal. But I can try to work more in the margins of my life. This means getting up earlier and not vegging out on Netflix in the evening. It also means that I must make a double effort to take better care of myself. I need exercise. (Enough said on that subject.) I have also put myself on a budget which means no more eating out through the week.
One thing is for sure; what is gonna happen is gonna happen. All I can do is my best and hold on for dear life.
