Passing the time

Dear Family and Friends,
6:30 walk 3 miles, 8:15 depart for Stockton, 8:55 arrive at 100 year old home for an inspection, 9:30 leave home to shoot comps, 10 arrive at Starbucks for warm up decaf mocha  11 arrive home, take power nap, 12:45 pickup Keanna, work in office for early afternoon, 2:30 take Keanna to gymnastics for make up session, 3:30 drive home for more office work, 5:30 depart for spin class, 6:00 arrive late for class, use broken bike, head home

Make dinner: baked potato, vege burger, Lima beans, cottage cheese, fresh tomato    a feast.

Now its time for bed, sitting with Star in the recliner, fire roaring in the stove, floor littered with popcorn pieces that Starr did not eat when Keanna shared with her.

I had a touching moment at child care at the club.  After spin class I went over to drop off Keanna's backpack and Kallie caught sight of me.  Her little face lit up bright, she came racing over a hug and would not let me leave for a long time.  She just wanted to have me hold her and talk to her.  What a sweet heart she is and what a precious moment for a pretty ordinary day otherwise.  Keanna does her homework so fast and well when she first arrives and then we have time for her to watch some disney TV, she knows how to use the DVR much better than I do and this afternoon in the car she was watching some UTube movie on my phone.

I was so glad to obtain an order this afternoon.  Its another RELO and they pay much more than a normal appraisal and are so enjoyable to prepare.  Yes they take a long time to write but when you are done the results are rewarding.  In addition they pay promptly so I was very thankful to get the order on the iphone this afternoon.  Using the iphone I accepted the order on the spot so you could say the phone sort of paid for itself in that one order.
I'm really wrestling with the ACN business.  Good friends have expressed caution and its true, many people on the web have really written terrible things about the business, much of what is said is true but written by people who started, failed and are bitter.  One thing I know is that if I decide to go down this route it will take a lot of work, I'm not kidding myself that it will be easy at all.  Secondly I've have to get over my fear of talking to people, funny I find it very easy to talk to people but to ask them to do something, that is another story, it would be something I would have to practice and learn how to do yet I think it could be possible.  I really appreciate the input from my friends and family about the whole process.  It does matter to me what people think.
For now I'm signing off, I'm bone tired having walked this morning and then done spin class this evening.  I'm still praying for more orders and I need to settle down and write up the ones I already have.  Time to discover some discipline once again.

Sending love to all,

Tim
