Well, it's been a long last few weeks. pet and I have been very, very busy working on my house, getting it ready for the new tenant. As with most things, when you get into it, you find that there are there so many more things that you need to do than you originally thought. Sigh.
pet has been amazing. The kids have been really supportive and sweet, and very helpful. We are almost there, I turn over the keys on Thursday, and I am just praying that I get a few months where nothing goes wrong. The last tenant was such a nightmare, and left such a mess, that I just don't think I can take that again so soon. UGH.
Onto other things, work is good, alot of pressure right now to produce some budget numbers, but pet is helping me through that as well. God bless him. I love him so much.
I had hope of getting another job, and I have heard from my contact that they have not filled the position, but that is pretty much all I know. Maybe it is taking longer that they planned to fill the position, or maybe I am out of the running, but oh well. We will see how that works out.
Soooo........a few weeks ago, e told me that he thought I was a glass half-empty kind of person. I took that to mean that I am a negative person, and I suppose that my last few months of posts have sounded pretty negative. e reminded me that I am very, very, lucky, and he is right. God bless him. Sometimes it takes someone on the outside of your life looking in to make you realize certain things. So, here goes:
1. I am grateful for my love, my pet. He is such a positive person, and he always assures me that we can do things, he gives me his love, his time, his life. I love spending time with him, and I love making love with him. I love him so much, he is amazing, and I am a lucky woman.
2. I am grateful for pet's kids, and the opportunity to be a quasi-stepmother. They are wonderful girls, truly, and we really have very little trouble with them. Yes, we have challenges, and our moments where we are not each other's favorite person. But, they are good girls, and I am lucky to be in their lives', watch them grow-up, and have some small input into their upbringing.
3. I am grateful for my family. My mother and my sisters. I don't know where I would be or go without them. They are all good people, and I love spending time with them. We had a very nice family event on Friday night and I really enjoyed spending time with them : ) We are so lucky to have my mother after her illness, I need to be grateful for that every day.
4. I am very grateful that I have a job. The people are very nice, the work is not really difficult, there is alot of it, and stressful at times, but for the most part it is really good gig. And now I have an office, which I am really enjoying : ) It is a very nice office, and it is nice to have my own space to settle into.
5. I am hopeful for getting my finances under control in the next few months. Between the job and the rent, getting both on a regular basis, I am hoping that I can make some progress on my bills. Things are looking up for pet in that area as well, March is a 3-paycheck month, and he got his tax returns. Mine are still pending my last W-2 form. But hopefully I can file soon, and that will help even more.
6. I have wonderful friends. They have been very understanding about me being MIA the last few weeks while I deal with the tenant and house mess. They have been very emotionally and financially supportive. They are great, and I am so very lucky to have them. I am looking forward to spending a little time with them this coming weekend.
7. pet and I both have houses. Yes, they are small, and yes, they both need work, well, not so much mine now, as we have been working very hard on renovations these past few weeks. But we do have property, and hopefully a house to leave both of his girls when they get older, and some passive income for us.
8. pet and I both have jobs. So many people I know are out of work, and have been out of work for so long. We have jobs, and health benefits, and that is so very important right now.
I am sure that there are hundreds of other things I need to appreciate more, but for right now, that will have to do : ) Unfortunately, nothing really hot to report right now. pet and I working through some things in that area, and I hope to have some hot times to report soon. Like all things, it ebbs and flows.
Take care, and I hope that all have a GREAT week!
