ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus SSDD. Stressed. Broke. Brunette again. I can relate to this. Except my hair hasn't changed colour.... Work (regular job is insanely busy) photo stuff is totally dead at the moment. I blew through my bank savings account (as opposed to retirement savings...thank god that is locked up away from me mostly) on some needed photo gear, tires for the zoom zoom and winter hay for the horses. Been doing a bit of "OMG OMG, I am broke!" So pushing the photo biz harder, some marketing stuff. Which of course costs moola too. Xmas is looming around the corner and it may be a year where everyone gets mostly home made stuff. No one ever complains it is just my own personal expectations. Generic Dude is whining about not having much cash also. New business, slow time of year. Fortunately we had already discussed all of the above and are prepared to do what we need to to get through it. Focus on what is important and everything will be fine. I've been enjoying our unusually warm fall with a lot of hiking on weekend. Not much has gotten done around here other than the daily chores but I know that the weather is going to change and there will be plenty of time, stuck indoors, to work on projects. The grands that motocross finished 2nd and 3rd in their district and class this year. Impressive for a second year. The trophies are bigger than they are. Unfortunately their parents have continued on with arena cross. More worrying for me, and less time with them. Such is the life of a granny! The two little girls are turning out to be clones of their mother as far as temperament.......pay backs are a bitch dear daughter. I get the phone calls and just laugh. Fortunately my daughter has a terrific sense of humour and quite honestly, more patience with them than I do. M/s, I've been communicating with a lovely woman from NY. Her job has been insanely busy the last few weeks so the communication has waned but not disappeared. Whatever else may or may not come of it, I have enjoyed visiting with her. Over all, I would say life is good. I have more than I need and enjoy more of my life than not. I've added to the rock collection around the place with all of the hiking and rock hounding. Constantly exploring new cooking and foods. Enjoying the hell out of yoga and more time being physically active and challenging myself and my body. As long as everyone is happy and healthy, I can keep myself in espresso, chocolate, fresh fruits/veggies and the occasional bottle of vino......life is good!
