A Little Good News for Us Durring Some Hard Times
Two things:
First, the last few months have been very difficult for us. One of our rental properties in Missouri has been empty since September and after having to sink 5K into repairs after the old tennants left it a mess and having to carry the mortgage on that property for the last several months, we have been struggling to make enough money to pay the bills, much less have money to do anything else besides.
Saturday, our property manager told us (finally) that we have a renter!
Second, I've been sick the last 4 weeks (I'm seldom sick). I had to take off work two days from work recently. I always feel guilty taking time off for being sick (don't know why). I'm always afraid I'll miss something or afraid of what I'll need to catch up with when I return.
Returned to work Thursday after 2 days sick to find out that Tuesday our department had lay offs, due to our company changing the way we do business.
My boss brought me into his office Thursday morning to explain the changes that took place while I was gone. I was happy to find out that even though I will need to return to my previous position in the firm, I will still be making the same money. When the decision came down to who was to go, I was chosen to stay because of the value I bring to the firm.
I can't help but feel a littlle like celebrating.
See everyone next week at Irvine Lake!
