Welcome Summer...finally...

July 7th, 2011 at 04:44 am

We have had a consecutive week of sunshine, and the weather is in the 90's, so I am thinking summer may have arrived. This is good news on a few fronts.

First, my poor garden has been slow to take off, but this past weeks sun has kicked it into gear at last. The plants are green and vibrant and I have a few veggies starting to pop on the vines. Smile

Second, with the sun, comes the pests....so my son has been busy and self-sufficient for a couple of weeks, which means I am able to get back on track with my budget. This is exciting, because it has been months since I have not had to supplement the business. I have put a good deal of effort into my budget, paying bills and allowing for all the other things like vacations, birthdays, christmas, etc. Getting to stick to it and still have $ left for savings is NICE.

I am so busy at work. I am training an intern, losing one of me key employees on Friday. Thankfully I have hired her replacement...although he wont start until August 8th. I am NOT looking forward to this next 4 weeks juggling the vacated position and training this intern and then training the new guy. In the meantime, I have several construction projects to cooredinate, and an assistant getting married on Jul 30 and....well, just OMG.

Weekends will be very welcome and important to sanity this summer. THANK GOODNESS I didnt take any summer courses!!!

Tomorrow night a few of us are taking my friend, who just lost her son last month to cancer, to dinner. Again, I think of what she is going through and my problems are so small. My perspective is easily adjusted because of this.

    You are so right, thinking of your friend who lost her son really puts things in perspective. I don't even know her and I am ashamed of my petty concerns. Another opportunity to be thankful for our blessings and be a support to your friend.
