One month to Xmas

ARGH.......let's just add THAT to the previous mentioned stressors. And what a difference a day makes.

Officially this afternoon, I told them at one of my little "jobs" that I will only be there for this next week and then I'm gone. They keep cutting my hours and then switching them around and at the end of the day, they are now only offering me ONE 3 HOUR shift a week. I mean, what's with that. So openings on that end.

Went to the other place to check on my supposed shifts for this week and that too has changed. The owner is going through some pretty intense financial challenges and with that comes all that THAT entails. But he gave my shift away to someone else, after asking me if I would work that full day which I agreed to. Then he offered me a 3 hour shift for a day that I'm not available - hey, what's with the 3 hour shifts - and then HE got all pissy with me because I couldn't just switch things around to accomodate him. I didn't even mention that I had to fill in for someone when I was supposed to be doing something else on Saturday AND that he gave my Thursday evening shift to someone else too. Hmmmmmmm, what's wrong with this picture? And of course one of the locations is now headed for closure by the end of December, perhaps sooner, and it is the location that I had been so thrilled to get to do my readings out of. Changes, changes.....

BUT, I stopped into this new shop at the end of my block last night and they are looking for retail staff PLUS she wants to offer special evenings with me doing readings..........SEEEEEE, it just keeps shifting.

I guess I should just allow it to all settle into it's own perfect arrangement since TRYING to do something about things is just an exercise in futility. I do like this new shop though as it is a funky sexy place with great tunes playing in the background and lots of eye candy to keep me smiling. I'll be sure to let you all know how that pans out.

And Mr. Man??? He is pissing me off this past few days but it could just be that he is another piece of the general stressful puzzle. I do know that I am not salivating waiting to see him today which is different and I am not going to see him tonight. Too much of a good thing sometimes jumps up and bites you in the ass. Anyway, looking forward to doing my own thing this evening.

And last but not least, there is of course my dear old Dad. Had a VERY stressful few hours with him today and that doesn't help things much. Had to yell so that he could hear me today and he was so confused. Took him to a Dentist today and she seems to think that he needs some dental surgery (in the hospital no less) to replace a tooth that has broken. Perhaps it might be a nice idea to get this tooth replaced but the cost will be $3,000. AND he will have to go under anethestic which is pretty harsh when you are 90 years old. So that just added to the confusion. AND then when it was time to leave the elevator in the building was broken down. Not a big deal for me but HE is in a wheelchair so that was a fun exercise. The building manager and another man came to carry him down the stairs but of course Mr. Stubborn insisted on trying to walk down 2 flights of stairs. Gotta give him credit because he did it but each time he started to fall and the building manager reached out to catch him, my Dad yelled LOUDLY. We got him down but jeez, did I need that little extra added bit of stress? Uh, no....

And now of course I just remembered what I titled this little discourse - one month to Xmas. GROAN..........I think I'll just go and get my self a glass of wine and thank myself for getting through this day. I didn't go into EVERYTHING else that went on because I'm sure you don't need to know.

Blessings to you all. As they say....this too shall pass.
