The Economy

Yesterday I received the news that I will get a salary cut of 20%. That goes along with an extra day off - Friday! Now how can I turn a Friday off into an opportunity? I am thinking of ways to make Friday fun and rewarding! I have applied for a few jobs off of Craigslist for part time positions. I want to earn enough to cover my riding lessons so I can continue to take them without getting the big stink eye from my husband!
The dieting did not go very well yesterday - I fell off the wagon for a moment and had a medium chocolate shake. It was on the way home and I was stressed out from my friend getting let go. I hope he finds something soon.
Yesterday was a mixed bag for me as far as emotions. I spoke with a dear old friend that I had not spoken with in years. He and I reminisced about old times. It was so fun to hear his voice and get caught up with the goings on in his world.
So actually it with the turmoil of the day just falling off the wagon with a chocolate milkshake is probably OK! It wasn't a full pig out of a gallon of ice cream....still taking baby steps!

Hubby just asked what this will do to you in relation to insurance and holidays? Oftentimes if you drop below X number of hours a week, they won't cover you on insurance.

Thankfully I get my insurance through Doug. I will continue to get my holidays! :)
