June 2024
June was a bit of a whirlwind. The month felt really busy but I think I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was lucky enough to attend a few awesome author events which were a lot of fun.
There was a week towards the middle of the month that put everything into perspective. I was exhausted from trying to keep up with my schedule and a couple of fun events and it finally clicked that I couldn’t keep it up for much longer. The next day was payday and my check was pitifully small which left me wondering if any of it was worth it. I applied for a few positions and decided to keep up my regular schedule while I figured out what I wanted to do. I had a horrible day at the bookstore the following day and decided it was time to give my notice, and they took me off the schedule right away.
I am currently trying to obtain a job at my local library. If that doesn’t work out, I think I will just work the one job for a while and take some more time for the blog and other things I loved doing when I had time for them.

How was your month? Do you have any reading or blogging goals for July?
I’m glad you don’t have to endure your bookstore job any more. And I really hope you get offered one of those library positions! Good luck this week. 😀
I hope you get the library position you want.
I hope you have a great holiday and get to have some time for yourself the next few weeks finding a great situation for you.
I am impressed you were able to keep up as long as you did. You were truly a super woman. I am surprised the bookstore took you right off the schedule. Didn’t even let you do the two weeks. A blessing in disguise but still. Enjoy having one job for new and good luck with the library job.
Good luck on getting a library position! My job at the library was my favorite job ever. (I only quit because it was part-time and I needed more hours.) And in the meantime, I hope you can enjoy some extra time for yourself.
Good luck with getting a new job! I had the same thought when I saw my last paycheck. Sometimes it just doesn’t feel worth the stress.
Good month. Fingers crośsed for that job
Patricia Briggs is going to be on my Must Read Authors list for 2025 if I don’t get to any of her books this year. I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself and hope July is the best of months!
