Ah, I was so happy Sunday that I had already packed a lunch for Monday and would not have to spend any money to eat out. But, alas, the best laid plans...etc etc. I ran out of the house Monday morning without breakfast, facing a two hour drive to pick up a client, so I succumbed to the golden arches for a bagel sandwich. Mmmmm. When I got back to my office, what did I find but a McDonald's bag sitting on my desk - with a note from a coworker saying my DH had dropped it off for me because I left the house without breakfast! So I ended up with two fast food breakfasts due to my poor planning. Today was better - breakfast at home and a packed lunch and snacks for work, although I did splurge $.25 for a cup of coffee. We have a $5/month coffee club at work or it's $.25 per cup. I opt for the latter as I only drink an occasional cup - maybe 3 or 4 per month.
I spent quite a bit of time sorting through the coupon train last night - I felt like a kid in a candy store It will be on its way to flash tomorrow.
I took some time last night and today to catch up with some real estate clients. I put everything on hold last week after a coworker/friend died unexpectedly, so I feel as though I have been neglecting my business. Luckily, the clients I have now are all friends, some of whom even knew my coworker, so they understand. That is one of the things I do not like about the business - you are expected to be working all the time. If you're not and the right house slips by, then you have some very upset clients. Sometimes I wonder why I am in this business at all, but I really do enjoy helping people find the right place. The commissions don't hurt either
I deposited over $400 in miscellaneous checks yesterday - it was nice to be putting some cash back into the account for once. I will be picking up a LOT of extra hours at work for the next few months due to our severe short-staffing, so maybe we'll even get the car loan paid off soon. That would be nice...
