Working for family (long but very important to me) UPDATED

[lv4dogs]

Wow, I didn't realize you traveled so far. I forgot about Lollypop and we've talked about it before. Both my parents and my uncle worked there in the 70s. My mom was just talking about lollypop the other day.

Yup takes about 45-60 minutes to get to or from work (depending on weather & traffic, in bad storms it has taken me 1.5 hours to get home before.
So on the average 2 hours of my day is driving to & from work. ANOTHER reason I want to quit. I will have more time & it will save me quite a bit in gas too!

finally got to read the whole!

I too, live by philosoph's, everything happens for a reason - already told you that. without a struggle, there is no progress. and god won't make a mountain that you can't climb - looking up at a biiig snowy, cloudy unsure mountain you have to reach can be so stressful!

looks like you've already made a good decision, quit and do what you love!! I remember you mentioned the vet office you used to work for before, is that one only two miles from you? I wish you luck!! let me (us) know the moment you hear "you're hired!"

and I know you won't want to hear this because it's last thing you ever want to do but to keep this in mind - whatever, whatever happens that you couldn't take care of your critters, I will take them in. I hope we won't ever need to think about it! (except would love to fuzzysit your fuzzdolls sometimes someday)..

no other good goody advice I know of, family business sounds complicated - yikes. many warm hugs, hang in there girl, you'll get over the top really soon!!
