It has been crazy the last month or so and I haven’t felt like sharing……………….until now, look out!
Been a challenging last month or so. Dave lost his job from the same jerks as I did last year. Can you believe it, on the one year anniversary almost to the date! Almost like they planned it. But don’t fret, we are great. Not even as stressed as we were last year. Thank God my business took off and I am able to support us. Barely, but it’s all good. Lots of challenges ahead. No health insurance right now. Did you know that an employer can wait 44 days to let you know if you can have COBRA coverage or not? It is ridiculous. And I know what it’s all about in this case. A bookkeeper who procrastinates and does things on her time. I saw it in action myself while working there. No care to the fact that people need coverage and are actively seeking medical treatment. So now life is put on hold until we hear. The bright side of it all. No more pain in the ass employer in our lives anymore. I can’t tell you how good it feels to be done with those people. They are liars, cheat their employees on overtime pay and wouldn’t know what it was like to run a “family” business if it bit them in the ass. I know Mom, not the professional way to act, but I don’t care. I have kept quiet for years, watching them screw their employees, not fair, not right and it pisses me off that companies get away with this shit. They will get what’s coming to them and we are free from them finally, woohoo!!
We miss Chewy so much, and decided that we will get a puppy. It will help Sugar in her old age. Not actively looking, but if we see a free sign anywhere, we will look, or may go to the pound one day. Red has turned out to be a fantastic dog. He rarely runs off anymore and obeys us better than ever.
Summer is almost here, temperatures are rising. Dave started tilling the garden, hopefully we will be ready to plant the seeds this weekend. I know we are lagging, should have had this done weeks ago.
We need to get a truck for Dave. He doesn’t have any plans to get a regular job again, he started his side business a year ago, and has had one customer that he does repeat business for this entire time, but hopefully soon he will get more work and get his feet off the ground like I did. Leaving the employment world was the best decision I have ever made, I hope he has the same success.
I have been studying lately. I am going for my Certified Bookkeepers Certification. I have one book to go for my first test. All about adjusting entries and mastering correction of accounting errors. Loves it!
You know, I never did find my darn stamps.
What else……..life is good.
