a lot like Lynn
|
The hot and cold flashes, puffy eyes, stuffy nose and sore throat that I woke up with on my birthday manifested into a full blow cold by Thursday night, the final night of my massage class. What an awful night to come down with a cold. I could not enjoy what would be my last massage for a while. Lying face down with my head in a headrest and my nose running uncontrollable was miserable. To make matters worse, when it was my turn to complete my massage final, I had to stop every 5-8 minutes to blow my nose. Eck, I would be disgusted to have some one sick working on me and blowing there nose then touching my exposed skin. But what choice did I have. I did use baby wipes to clean my hands after each blow but it was still pretty disgusting. I typed all that just to say�I am FINALLY DONE! I have my evenings back and can now dedicate that that time to going to the gym on a more consistent basis. So what am I doing tonight you ask�going to the mall, taking a nap and going to the gym (in that order). I have this feeling that I won�t make it to the gym and that worries me. What worries me even more is that I refuse to give up going to the mall (you see, I have a coupon that needs to be used TODAY otherwise it becomes worthless) and I refuse to give up my nap,I am exhausted. Now that I am done with massage, what�s next?? I originally thought that I would turn my massage skills into a part time business. A little side money to pay off debts and support my shopping habit. I still plan to do that, just not as soon as I would like. I still have some more massage classes that I want to take to really bulk up my skills and unfortunately I have not figured out a way for my employer to pay for them yet. I also need more education to be licensed in my city and I would have to pay for a business license. It all boils down to money. Something I just don�t have a whole lot of. And of course there are things that seem to always take precedence such as new brakes for my car. I do have a name for my future business. A really, really cute one too. I shared it with Rie over the weekend and she reassured me that it was perfect for me. Oh and did I mention that now I am thinking of getting my real estate license. When I first met Mr. Man, I was dead set against doing what he does. His job just seemed so hectic and never ending. Then I got a glance at one of his commission checks and suddenly those long hectic days did not seem so bad. I also soon discovered Mr. Man's days seem long because he doesn�t start them until after 10. By that time I have already put in a good two hours of meaninglessness at my job. I would much rather have Mr. Man�s schedule in which the day starts when I open my eyes and not when my alarm clock blast in my ear. I like the idea of going to the gym in the morning after the 8-5ers have already left and taking my time with my workout instead of rushing trying to get through my routine, beat morning traffic (which is an unavoidable between the hours of 6:30 and 9:00am unless I wake long before the sun reaches it�s horizon) and get to work on time. I like the idea of coming home from the gym to sit at the kitchen table catching up on world news or reading the local news paper while eating a bowl of cereal and sipping on my favorite chai tea. I would be a much happier and productive person if my morning started off like that and ended with a $15,000 commission check at the end of the month. I have calculated that I would need to spend 960 hours at work before I can earn that amount of money and I know for a fact Mr. Man does not spend that amount of time with one client. EVER! Making his job seem ideal. Not to mention that sometime this month (most likely with in the next week) Mr. Man will be putting in his resignation with his current realty company to branch out on his own. He has 6 realtors that will join his company. He is encouraging me to get licensed. I am seriously considering the idea. I know, I know, I am starting sound more and more like Lynn from Girlfriends. I am just having a hard time finding something that keeps me stimulated and interested for more than a few months yet offers me unlimited potential, excellent income without the constraints of �normal� business hours and a fucking time sheet that I have to lie about every two weeks (getting to work on time is a skill I have yet to master, leaving on time needs some improvement too.). |
