I nearly killed myself cramming in all the required hours of tutoring by 5/31 only to be told I had to make up the one hour from the last week that one of my students missed when her mom forgot our appointment. Ridiculous. I am now officially done with tutoring for the summer, if you don’t count waiting for last month’s pay check, which was held over the disputed hour that I had no time to make up before 5/31 and which was not my fault.
Meanwhile, I am still freelance editing for the same tutoring company, a short-term job that may end within 4-5 weeks. It is not a great situation, but then that is not surprising. I pretty much go all the time right now, but I will be off from my day job first week of July. If I have any energy or motivation left, I may look for a better living arrangement and a new part-time job for fall. Or I may crawl to a shady spot on some beach and make like a beached whale. Tough call right now.
Today, I cleared my desk at work for the first time in about four months. It’s sad how good that made me feel…

At least the tutoring is over and maybe now you can relax a little, no? I don’t know how you do it. If it were me, it would have done me in. You must be one heck of a guy with an incredible amount of energy!
You sure are. Not everyone would make it through so many continuing trials the way you have. Oh Steve. Find a beautiful place to take a breather. One of these days you’ll get past the bend in the tunnel and see the light again, I know you will!
I will email you later…still in…awe…at the moment.
Find a shady spot and chill, that’d be a very good thing!
