I'm back. Got my coffee, opened the gym and there's barely a soul here, so I figured I'd pop back on. Seems I just picked up a dog-sitting client, too. I was chatting with one of the independent trainers and his client and mentioned dog-sitting last night. The lady got all excited and asked if I would watch her dog for a week. I told her sure and gave her my card. She lives a bit far away, but I'll charge her a bit extra and see if she agrees - my prices are so low anyway.
The trainer was surprised that I dog-sit and scolded me for not letting him know, since he'd be able to get me some jobs, too, he says. So maybe getting up early to go to work this morning will prove to be worth it!A friend of mine sells things on E-Bay and goes garage sale shopping every Saturday morning and as we speak (type?) she's out there hunting down a tv for me - I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

GD, that's wonderful if you can get more dog sitting jobs, maybe you can get enough to leave the gym.
I hope your friend gets you a TV. Got to have one of those for sure!Posted 3 years ago by cricketsmama #

GD - That's great that you might pick up some more dog-sitting jobs! Good luck with the TV!

Leaving the gym would be SO great, CM!!!
Since my boss quit yesterday, they asked me to work 2-9 again and I turned them down. I said I'd like to work 4:30 - 9:00 every day (right now I'm working those hrs. three days a week and 8-1 on Saturdays). If I can do that, it'll give me enough to pay my bills and I can make extra with dog-sitting and hopefully the tennis business once I get that up and running.
XBF mentioned a job working with him in a company he's setting up - it would be 40-50 hrs. a week and great pay, but I don't think I'm going to take it. After working with him at the gym, I don't really trust him anymore and I really don't want to go back to working 9-5 again and having to quit playing tennis on my day teams. I also don't want to end up feeling like I owe him anything for getting me the job. -
-
Also, if I take that job, I wouldn't be able to do the tennis business at all. Even if I can't make a living off it, I still want to give it a try and work on some connections and work with something I like.
I'm not sure what'll happen at the gym, but I AM reasonable sure they'll go out of business sooner or later now. Since I refused the 2-9 shift, they may hire someone who will cover the whole shift and just let me go - I'll just wait and see.
I'm supposed to come to work at 4:30 on Monday, but since my boss won't be here, I don't know who's going to cover until I get in. The morning guy usually just works 6-9 and the two nights I'm off. Noone has told me to come in early or anything, so I don't know what their plan is or if they have even thought that far. -
I'm hoping for a tv, too, JCat, CM and Rubia. I mentioned to Old Boss yesterday that mine broke and he said he thought he might have an extra I could have or borrow and that he'd call me in the evening and let me know. He never did call me, so I'm thinking he probably doesn't - though he IS one of the most forgetful people I know!
JCat, it really hadn't occured to me that some people don't know that I dog-sit, so I really should let people know, hand out cards, etc. If I start charging more, I should be able to do pretty well. -

Morning all! My my, everyone is up early this am! I must be getting lazy! Hubby and daughter left early (around 7am -golf for one, beach for the other); Abby and I just rolled right over and unbelievely went back sound asleep!! Felt good! I'm hungary ... need to go see what's in the fridge!! Coffee, yes definitely coffee and "scritches" with Abbs. We'll start there...
-
Hi AV! What is that like to roll over and go back to sleep. Oh that sounds wonderful. sigh...probably won't do that for another 20 years.

Hi Metsa!! OMG food poisoning???? I am glad you are much better. How awful for you.

Metsa! How awful. I hope you are feeling better now. GD, my vet lets people advertise for dog and cat sitting. I would check with some area vets to see if they would let you advertise.
Well, I'm off to the Lakeshore, time to cover the sailboat and other items at the marina. Sigh, that means winter really is on the way... I'll have some nice hot chocolate tonight when I get home. And an extra hour of sleep - Yay!
-
Food poisoning! How awful, esp if you had to be hospitalized for it! I hope you're feeling better Metsa!
Good luck on the pet-sitting front,GD...I would have no idea what to charge for all the extra stuff you do, but I know it means alot to people to keep their animals home instead of a kennel if they're away, esp if they need meds and such..
Just having some coffee, black...Buster made a disgusting mess in the litterbox and promptly fell into it...poop and litter from head to tail..so my morning started off with giving him a bath....Mark says he's gonna start calling him "Shake and Bake" cause he looks like a breaded cutlet...hahahaha -
lol @ shake and bake!

Morning, Everyone! I'm just popping by on my way to the kitchen. It's waffle day for us!
I'll be anxious to hear what the doctor says about Maddie, CM. If it's an eye infection they really need to be considering tubes. Poor baby!
Metsa, I hope you're better. Bland diet today! I've had food poisoning a few times and that is just awful. Do you know what you ate and where you ate it?

Hope Maddie gets better soon... Metsa - food poision is no fun at all!! I've had it, takes a lot out of you. Last time I had a terrible bout with it, my doctor put me on a good probiotic - really helped me recover quickly. I won't start my day without it, it really keeps my digestive system well.

I'm up much earlier than I expected to be, but I dont think I'll be making it back to sleep. Was up til 2 with some friends, and was semi awake until I got the text that everyone was home safe. My doorbell started ringing a little after 7, and my (hung-over) boyfriend is home. So needless to say, I'm awake.
