The wonderful news is I finally got a new to me car! 2011 Toyota Camry. The other car was in need of lots of repairs and has been eating my tax money away for the last couple of years. So fingers crossed this one does well! The guy I got it from gave me an appreciation for what some immigrants have been through. His dad helped the USA and had to leave his country because of it. The story is amazing and makes me realize once again how sheltered we really are in the USA. We don't have a clue what other countries have to deal with on a daily basis. So many think it's so bad here but in reality many, many countries wish it could be so good in their country.... Hopefully that sentence makes sense!
The bad news is I ended up firing a new client. :( There are simply some people that you don't communicate well with no matter how hard you try. So from the past experience of trying to make it work I decided to cut it off right at the beginning. Also, somehow, the issues always seem to arise when I wasn't feeling well and at my most vulnerable. It was certainly a good lesson for me in that I need to be working on my attitude being better when I'm sick!! Scarlet was kind enough to pass on the flu to me Friday and it started hitting Sunday morning and was in full force Sunday evening when this client called asking questions. I normally don't take calls on Sunday but she said in a voicemail that it needed to be to the accountant the next morning. Big mistake! But I have peace about it so I know it was the right decision. It truly isn't worth trying to work with someone when there's major communication issues. In the end it's not either ones fault, it's just the way it is.
The gardening season is well and truly over. Sad day! The only thing still going is the Swiss Chard. All the peppers are picked. The tomatoes came back from rodent damage but not in time to actually pick any. Red Pepper flakes work awesome for keeping them away from areas you don't want!!! It's really hard to believe that another year is three quarters gone! Time is flying so fast this year! The REALLY busy time for me is just around the corner and I'm already very busy.
