Hi friends!
As some of you know, these past two days I’ve been very, VERY sick with strep. It has caused me to fill up my next two weekends with rescheduled dogs, taking away any free time I have with my family, my two young boys especially.
This is not an easy decision, but, going forward if I become sick again (it rarely happens, I promise, first time in about 5 years) I will have to just simply cancel my days appointments. I can squeeze them into open spots throughout my weekdays. But for my personal sickness, I will not be rescheduling.. simply canceling.
Now of course if one of my boys are sick I am more than happy to reschedule to the weekend because I will be spending time with them during the day they’re home sick.
I do understand that it may not be fair. But.. I have to do this for my mental wellbeing and family. I’m riddled with anxiety having to work two weekends in a row and not see my babies. It’s NO ONES fault, but it needs to change.
I’m happy to recommend a bunch of lovely ladies who have way more open scheduling than I, don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to go a different direction, I understand.
Thanks for putting up with me, April 24 I’ll have been in business for two years with no sick callouts. Fingers crossed it’s at least another 2 years before another one
