Whoosh!

Mood: sad / renewed

Like the flush of the toilet, my sites are gone! I was leaning back and forth between keeping my business going and setting it aside, and I have decided to set it aside. So as I was talking about a while back, it doesn't make sense to spend the money on hosting my sites if they're not making money. So, for now, they're gone! For a moment I thought this blog was gone, too, lost in the transfer from my own hosting to BlogSpot (free blog hosting provided by Blogger). But I finally was able to republish my blog to BlogSpot. Whew!

Though I feel a bit sad about the loss of my sites, I also feel renewed. I feel like I can have a fresh start. I feel like I can concentrate on my new job. It feels good.

By the way, work is going really well. I have thrown myself into it completely and it's paying off. The District Manager, Frank, is very close to giving me the Supervisor position. Today there was a big step in that direction: I am now a keyholder for the store! Frank and Rob, the foreman, had to leave early today, so I was in charge for about an hour and closed the store at the specified time. (We're still setting up the store, but we are very close to opening. It will probably be opened on Tuesday.)

Perhaps when I am well-settled into this job I can start thinking about my own business again. Maybe I will stick with web design. Maybe I won't. We'll see what the future holds.

But I can rest easy knowing I am doing what's right for my future with Bella.
