This December I'm participating in An Advent of Gratitude to help remind me of the gifts I already have, what I often take for granted, and what I can and should be grateful for.
The list told me that if I went to work today and earned an income it would cost me $2.
Right now I'm a self employed independent contractor, which means each day I have the flexibility to choose whether to schedule work for myself or not. Today I happened to have something scheduled, so I added the two dollars to the till.
It turned out to be a great day. Hubby Tony had his office holiday luncheon, then he took off the rest of the afternoon. I picked him up at the end of the event and he helped me with my assignment. After it was completed we ran errands together and grabbed dinner, seguing the work time into date time.
Five years ago today: Cheesy
Perhaps one could say I did earn an income today, as I'm now drawing a pension for all those years of teaching. But no job. I did run an errand for my volunteer position as school chaplain.
ReplyDeleteYou're one of the busiest retired people I know!
DeleteSounds like the perfect day!
ReplyDeleteIt was.
DeleteStill $17.50, as I no longer have a job. Wish I did, however.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if something will eventually fall into your lap?
