Slave labor

Tuesday afternoon...a day off.  Ahhhhhhhh.....Just lost an employee who is moving away....so now I will be back to working 13 out of every 14 days!!!! Ack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I think slaves used to get more time off than that! Don't want to do it, just don't have much choice.  If I am not open so many hrs a week, I will lose the lease on one of my offices.  Sigh.... Hope I can find someone soon...if not, I'll have to let one office go, and I've worked too hard to build it up to want to do that!  It will also mean a big decrease in income, and I can not really afford that....not to mention, it will put my financial recovery plan in big-time jeopardy! So...went to the pool in my complex and just totally relaxed for a few minutes.  It is 100 degrees here today, so the water was HEAVENLY!  I'm so glad I moved here. I downsized from a big house to a small apartment in February, and I was sooo afraid I would feel cramped and claustrophobic here.  NOT at all....in fact, it is so much easier to keep this place clean and organized. Another thing I love is the decrease in utility bills...less space to heat and cool.  Where I live, it is the cooling that is so expensive.  The monthly budget in my old house was $415 a month for gas and electric!  I think it will be about half that where I am now. So.....worrying about what will happen with my business/financial things in the next couple of months...but at least I don't have to worry about gambling being part of my problems.   So grateful I am still gamble-free...I seem to have more peace about that than before. Sending out big hugs and much love....
