not roller coaster, but all down with fear. I get my work schedule at the end of the month and was very worried. Only had 7 days in September and with 3 people out last week, I hadn't gotten even a single extra day of work. In the meantime, I have property taxes, septic, hay and then my car brake light started coming on again (just spent hundreds of dollars on the brakes 6 months ago), and not enough money in the bank to cover it all. So when I got to work yesterday, I headed straight for the schedule, holding my breath.

I got 10 days for October, so finally felt relief that there would be enough money to cover all that before I'm broke again, but also relief that there should be enough work to cover me through December. We get very busy in December, while people get stuff done all at once to use up their deductibles and get as much paid for by insurance as they can.

I got a 3 hours of feeling relief and then the ER got slammed, and I started hating my job again, lol. Ran nonstop from 4:30 pm until just after 10:00pm.

So tired yesterday I got nothing done. Getting done today what was scheduled for today. Grateful for 2 days of rain. No outdoor activities without guilt!
