I am really out of my "routine" for the past several days. I have not been able to get in a good workout since Tuesday. Thursday I feel that I ate within reason. Friday was spent carting my mother around shopping from 4am until 6pm and then wrapping gifts late into the evening before anyone came home. I also had to go out to eat twice on Friday. Saturday morning was spent working on the rental house until late last night. Again, I had to eat out twice yesterday. I have increased my calories, which is something I am not terribly upset about. But I am missing my evening jogging. Things have been so rushed this week. My healthy lifestyle routine is broken for the week. The new tenants are suppose to take possession of the rental house today and it simply is not complete. There remains so much to do on it. Every time I started on one aspect of the house, I realized there were other things that needed repair...a new beam, water damage, etc etc etc. The prior tenants (who never paid on time) failed to report any items I needed to repair so I am now stuck in a mad dash to finish a house that could have already been in fantastic shape if only I had known of issues/repairs needed as they came up. Financially, I am taking a huge hit at just the wrong time of the year. My weight is up today. I suspect the stress of it all is not helping...nor the four meals out. It runs me nearly 70 dollars each time I drive to the house thanks to my truck. I have the cruise weighing in the back of my mind as I really want for my family to enjoy themselves. I am receiving tons of medical bills from my son's football injury back at the end of August as they've now made their way through the health insurance leaving me with a high amount of co-insurance/deductibles to pay. Then, $2000+ into repairs to the rental house. Let's not forget my student loans (which I will probably be paying on until I am 90) coupled with our regular bills (electric, water, cell phone, auto insurance, tax bills, home insurance and my neurotic attempts to keep my credit cards with a zero revolving balance). My supplemental business tends to slow down right before Thanksgiving and does not pick up really until after Valentine's Day. I am also stressed about my husband making it through this semester of college. I am confident he will pull through. I need him to graduate in May though. As much as I think he would like to continue on until he attains a doctorate, I don't think I can continue to carry us all. We will soon have two kids in college on top of taking care of the farm, and let's face it...I am just tired. I need a break. I need to know that if I lost my job tomorrow, the family has a second stream of income to fall back on. My husband does work and attend school. But, school consists of classes 3 days a week and 12 hour clinical shifts at least two days a week as well. Between studying and that schedule, he is only able to work part-time. And, the income from his part-time job essentially is used to cover his gasoline back and forth from school and clinicals. He has slaved on the rental house this week. He has a massive test on Monday that I fear he has not had sufficient time to study for with all the work on the rental. It will all be ok. I am sure. Things tend to work out. I need to just focus on what is in front of me instead of worrying so much about the what ifs. Today, I need to watch closely what I eat, take a few extra breaths, and remember that throwing a match on the rental house is indeed a felony.
