WOW!!! It's been FOREVER since I posted. I went part-time at work to have more time to do The Errand Fairy, my personal assistant business, and things have just been nuts! Let me just say that I have never known stress until I decided to start my own business. This has got to be the hardest things I have ever done. However, it almost the most rewarding thing I've ever done.
The hardest part is still having to work part-time at the insurance company, because that means relying on other people to do the fairy work that I can't get to. I'm one of those that would rather just do everything myself so I can make SURE everything is done correctly. Delegation is not my strong suit. But being tied to the other job makes doing it all myself impossible. I've lost 3 people in the last month that found full-time jobs. The demographic I'm looking for is really quite terrible, lol. I'd like them to be middle-aged, and if they have kids...I need them to be grown...oh and I need them to already have another source of income so they're not relying on my sporadic work to pay their bills, but yet, still have full-time availability for when I call them at a moment's notice. :) You can see how finding the right help and keeping them can make a person crazy. :)
I think the last time I posted I was 253.5. This morning I was 252 lbs. Nothing happening on the weight loss front, and now that I think about it, I'm actually kind of amazed that I'm not gaining with all the stress. Huh. Weird. Anyhoo.....that's what I've been up to lately. And I didn't even tell you about my one special client who is a walking migraine. We'll get to that later. Have a great week! :)

Good to see you post again. As stressful as the business may be, it sounds like there's definitely a market for what you're providing. That has to be a good sign.
