Life is tough.

Gee Matt - I really feel for ya! ;-D

Aw, thanks. I forgot to mention that I have to tear myself away
from newsgroups so that my computer and I can design courses for
my judging assignments. Oh, and do the books for K9Express.ca
(that last sentence was spam).

I live in my car these days. 3+ private clients a day for
the most part, and I go to them. I try to consolidate
neighborhood locations a bit, but they're all still
something of a drive.

What I like about not "working" is taking my dogs with me
everywhere I go. They have a nice setup in my soccermomvan and
appear to prefer hanging out there than staying home. Natch,
this doesn't always work out in the summertime.

I have to work most Saturdays (group
classes) and if not, it's because I'm off with my own dogs
at flyball or such. Come DST, add 2 evenings a week of
group classes.

Weekends are where I draw the line - nothing interferes with
agility trials, including getting a "real" job. Luckily, such
weekend activities (trials and judging assignments) are known
way ahead so I can take on special clients (like the GR I had
this past weekend).

And then I have to squeeze in getting my
nails done ;-D

I did nails last night (54 of them!). It took less than half an
hour and didn't cost a dime.

I'm glad my agility classes are during the day, and I have
meetings at the shelter every week for the most part,
mostly during the day as well. Flyball practice is the
only thing my dogs need to go out in the evening for, and
field training (weather has sucked lately) is daytimes as
well. Been too busy with clients to get out there recently
and that has to change!

Wow, lucky you for getting agility classes during the day! I
could make a few bucks offering daytime classes one or two times
a week, but the space isn't affordable unless I have a
guaranteed 7 students.

Another bonus I have (10 minute drive) is a fenced outdoor area
full of agility equipment where I can work Rocky and Friday.
During the day it's always empty, though, on a snowy day like
today, I won't be going.
