Here we are… another year. Have to learn to type and write 2024. That will take about 350 days to figure out I guess 😂

My New Years Eve wasn’t the best. First of all I just felt stressed out over life and money. My car broke down and I had an appointment for it yesterday at the shop. How much would that be? The Realtor Association was due at the new year and I absolutely don’t have the $500 they want. On top of that, right after 5pm I got a message from the owner of the barn that they had decided to put the farm out on the market and I had to find another place to have my horses. They would try to get me into the new owner as a lease but I can’t just sit and wait for that. I need to make sure they are okay. That completely kicked me to the ground. I was crying over the strike of midnight watching my horses in their stalls. Absolutely not how I wanted to start the new year, alone, in tears, anxious over the new year. The girls took the fireworks surprisingly well. I gave them half a dose of sedation and that didn’t face them at all. At quarter past midnight I decided to let them out of their stalls since the fireworks wasn’t at all as bad as anticipated. That’s when the close neighbor started… of course. But they still remained calm. The biggest, loudest boom were a little scary in the beginning but then hay was more yummy.

I was working all New Years Day. I knew exactly how the shift would go and I was correct. No action all day… but at night we got busy. As I am on a transfer truck that backs up the 911 system, everyone who visited the ERs during the day and had to be admitted now had to be transferred. So we were busy all night long. And me being me had not been able to sleep any during the day so I was awake all night long. Yehaaa…

Left the car in the shop on my way home. Had to prepare for the first recording for the Small Business & Entrepreneur Podcast that was scheduled. It was a lot of fun! I’m excited about the release on January 15th.
Since the car was in the shop I didn’t think I was going to make the Forney Area Networking Group (FANG) meeting at lunch. But then a fellow realtor, Deana texted and offered to give me a ride! That was so sweet of her. And a great opportunity for a 1-on-1 in the car as well! We stopped by a pet store in Forney that I didn’t even know existed on our way home. Didn’t buy anything for the dogs but realized that I will have to make my own visit there to figure out some food for my boys. Twix needs something good for his stomach as he has acid reflux and what I tried worked for him but not for BamBam. So therefore I will have to figure out something for each boy. I always find it easier when I can see the bags in front of me instead of on a computer screen.

My car was done at the shop… yeah… I should probably be happy that it “only” cost me $400… being me and my luck it could probably have been worse. But I have to admit it runs soooo much better now. Gosh I hate money, or the lack of it…

Got home and looked through social media. Saw the pictures from the meeting that was uploaded. There was a picture of me from behind… I hate pictures of myself but this was good, only for one reason: I could see how the print on the back of my jacket looks!

It’s not the best picture maybe but it gave me an idea and that was good.

After I had been to the barn for the second time today, I came home and realized I had not been asleep since 4am previous day. 38 hours. No kidding I was completely exhausted. After all, it had been the best day of the year so far… 😂
Slept 10 hours straight and woke up feeling better. Both physically and mentally. I am going to find a good place for the horses. Don’t ask me how; but I have to have a positive attitude and believe to get through this. 2024 is going to be a good year. I know that January through March is usually the most rough months for me every year but it will be okay.
