Maybe I should have waited one more day before writing that post. A check that someone wrote to me for close to $500 has bounced! Then, I received news that another check for $400 is going to come late, probably AFTER Christmas. Seeing that it’s from the very same person who wrote me the rubbery check, I doubt that will even happen. There goes my insurance and car payment and HOA dues and groceries and the cable bill…

I try so hard to remain positive but it’s so hard sometimes! Especially when the day after I am positive, I get bit a little too hard. Since getting married and getting into business on our own, we've learned some hard lessons. Contracts mean nothing and expectations are rarely met (KC, you rock by the way! Congrats on your bandy award).
