[Ambivalent]

So last night my husband stepped up to the plate again.

At dinner he told my oldest " If you get your sister you WILL get one for your mother. " Not that I care about a gift, but he is trying to show her what she is doing is unkind.

He made a point of saying everything was from both of us and he sent my daughter home with some gifts. I know one is a triple "A" membership! I had her discreetly give him the flask.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This morning I penned a letter of intent:



Today at 11:31 AM

I'm placing an ad for a boarder , this should help with some expenses.

I have been interviewing and it is a process, as you know. I have had two interviews already for one job. The other with follow ups, so I should be hearing something again, soon.

I have also the opportunity to do esthetician side work prior to getting my license. My current boss has a bed, steamer, stand and all the sheets, etc that she'll let me have. I am planning on using the "closet"as a room.

It will take time to build a side business. After passing my state boards I'll get a full time position and transition from the current temporary job.



Those are some options.



More, which I wanted to do back in Summer, was to take in kids. I had researched the amount I could take in, and it would be cash business. It is another option for me as a temporary, or maybe even continuing income. Plus , the berries and other flora, will add some money in the Autumn, which I can use too. I could also teach floral arranging classes or something similar.

Leaving the house, puts me at a HUGE disadvantage for options of where to live. Credit, dogs, and location are all things I have to consider . Also, the house WILL eventually appreciate over time. That may be my/our only hope of a retirement income. Perhaps we could work out an equity share or something?

There may even be more options, you know how creative I can be! Given a bit more time, I'm sure I can think of something.

Please continue pay the mortgage. We have more to gain if we work through this.

I am confident it can be done!

Thanks for your support, I haven't opened the gifts. I'm waiting until tomorrow.

Hope yours will come in handy when you're out in the cold hunting!
