Second Job Didn't Pan Out

Got a message from my cousin today. The job I was going to do part-time is not happening. The lady decided she doesn't need anyone to do her shopping.
Although I am a little disappointed not to be able to have the much needed income, I am delighted that I can relax and enjoy my day off.
I will be spending the day with my daughter. Grocery shopping and maybe a thrift shop is on the agenda.

If I don't, it's all good. Everything happens for a reason.

@JudyEv Yes, we are following one another. He wished me luck as well. I know that I haven't had much luck with sales this year locally, so hoping that if I branch out I'll have more success.

If something else doesn't come along, I will start knitting hats again. My daughter started an Etsy account and will be selling my items there.

@ScribbledAdNauseum we had one that went belly up about a year ago. There are a lot of people who do this kind of work in our town. Guess it was not meant to be at this time.

Sorry to hear it didn't pan out but sounds like you are sort of happy about it.

I am happy actually. I wasn't certain I really wanted to give up my only day off.

@ricki_911 We all need at least a day to collect ourselves.

@ElusiveButterfly I can understand that! I know even though I need the money I don't know if I could give my 1 day off.

My daughter had to cancel because my granddaughter has the croup. I did enjoy my day though.

@DWDavis me too. This is the first time she has been sick. I don't like to see her down for the count.

Quite a combination of regret and relief. I have had times like that. You probably need some free time.

I do need that one day to breathe. Fridays are my only day off.

You are probably right. I believe she was the one that was asking about hiring someone.

I am not that disappointed actually. Today I went shopping by myself and scored some great bargains!

The grocery shopping is a great thing and the thrift store is also a big best thing.

Were you going to be a personal shopper?

Yes, but the lady decided that she didn't want to have it done for her.
