I talked to R a bit more yesterday about the Farm Sanctuary dealio. I had mentioned working on building my business up while working for the Farm Sanctuary so that perhaps I wouldn't need to lean on him at all financially. He of course thought that was a wonderful idea, so I applied to the Farm Sanctuary last night for any upcoming positions in the DC area.
This makes me a bit nervous to think about. I can hear my dad's voice ringing clear in the background - what about your 401k? What about your bills? Because I know darn well that working for the Farm Sanctuary would be a significant cut in pay with no 401k options. But then I think of Gene's book (Gene is the co-founder of the Farm Sanctuary) and how his parents thought he was nuts for leaving the corporate world (or maybe he didn't go into it at all after he graduated from college, I forget) but regardless, they thought he was insane. And look at all the man has accomplished! Had he gone the corporate route many stockyards and factory farms would still remain unchecked! Well, not that they aren't now, but less awareness would be out there than there is now.
In other news, I called the vet yesterday about Kraymer's tennis ball sized swelling. She said to keep doing the warm compresses on it and to call her on Wednesday because the best option might be the drainage tube if the swelling doesn't go down. If it gets worse I am to call sooner of course.
R and I were going to go to NC to visit a friend of mine this weekend to attend a wine festival and just have a great time, but with Kraymer head going through all this crap I just don't know if we will go. I am going to check into boarding the boys at the vet in case the drainage tube is a lot to deal with (and I think it's too much for our pet sitter) so we shall see.
I have heard this before but it was on the news again recently - women who are married take on 7 hours more housework than their single counterparts. Hmmm This has been on my brain, so yesterday morning after I emptied the dishwasher and reloaded it, I asked R when the last time he did it was. He was like ya know, I was just thinking that, but you always do it first. I was like hey, these have been clean since last night, feel free to step in anytime! Then after that conversation I left for work. When I went home for lunch I saw that the man had left his glass in the sink. Seriously? After we just chatted? So last night I was like remember how this morning I emptied the dishwasher and reloaded it? He was like yeah... then I said "Was it too much effort for you to load your one glass into the dishwasher after everything I had done?" *sigh* I assigned him vacuuming duties for before we go out of town to make myself feel better...
