I don't take time off. I work all the time...but my work isn't exactly a 9a-5p tethered to a desk kind of job.
I own a pet sitting company where we go to people's homes to take care of their furkids. We take dogs for walks, we offer treats and tummy goochens than any furkid left in our charge, we even spend the night with them while their owners are away at work or play. It is a pretty good gig...I would NEVER dream of having to get a "real job" or change career paths.
The only bummer is paperwork. I meet with my CPA on Sunday. She called me and asked if I could do Sunday lunch with her and then sit down to go through my books. That ladies and gentlemen means I have a deadline. I don't exactly keep up with entering my receipts and bank statements like I should. I am ALWAYS on top of invoicing and client records...but that whole book keeping thing - HA not so much. Truth be told the last bank rec I did was sitting in her office LAST tax season when she was showing me how to do it all myself so that I wouldn't have to pay her to do it for me. **snicker**
So I have an years worth of receipts and papers and bank recs I should have been entering today since I had a light client load. However today is the first sunny, warm day we have had in months. I played outside with the pups earlier, I took a nap in the Adirondack chair with another clients pup, I took Anna and Sig for an especially long walk and even let them play in an open field because it was so nice, I made an extra visit to a couple pups who had been crated since 7am because it was too lovely to leave them inside all day...uhhuh quickbooks is so not on that list of things that I did today.
I am hereby declaring that it is OK to take a day off once in a while. I have smiled and laughed most of the day - which is a huge departure from how I have spent the better part of the last month. That being said...Im off to Nixa to walk two dogs before the sun sets.
