Out with the Old, In with the New!

This year has been a roller coaster of a ride. Starting in March, we dismantled our old upper deck and cleared out stuff underneath for a bottom deck. It took us 6 months, but in August of this year, we finished and now have a new beautiful upper and lower deck! It took many hours, but it’s finished and man, do we love it.

Look at the difference from 9 months ago!!

Anyway, now that fall has hit, and even some winter conditions, it’s time to huddle indoors and be a hermit. Well, can’t really do that, because I just got a new job after working conditions at my old job were not good. I left my old job three days ago, got a phone interview the next day and an in-person interview the day after. Two hours after, I got the offer!! That was the fastest time from going from one job to another and it’s a bit of a whirlwind, but an exciting one.

I went from being a copywriter to a content director, and the building is 5 minutes from home on the freeway.

When one door closes, another one opens - and quickly in my case. I felt it was a vindication from what happened in my last job and from being attacked by two dogs last month.

Now, I say, bring on the holidays!! OH, and next project is new kitchen cabinets, counters, and bathroom tile!! And, next spring, new landscaping with square foot gardening, revamped flower gardens, and maybe even a deck slide for the grandkids!

We got our work cut out for us!

Soon, I will post about ‘The One Thing,’ a great book about finding that one daily thing to focus on, particularly when it comes to work.

Enjoy the extra hour of sleep, (for those who come off D.S.T. ) come tonight!
