Jim’s Home

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Oddly enough, they had the worst sale they’ve ever had this weekend. Everyone was complaining about the amount of money they made (or didn’t make as the case may be). Honestly, it was more money than Jim’s made in a long time. Apparently this town is in bigger trouble than most.

The funny thing is, Jim got a promotion already. They asked him to be a closer, starting at the next sale. This is good because he gets a weekly salary that’s consistent. On the tenth of each month (or thereabouts) he’ll be getting a percentage of the month’s gross. This completely works for us. The guaranteed salary is exactly what we’ve always said was the amount that was sufficient to keep us comfortable.

He’s home for 7 days now, but then he’s gone for 14. While he’s here I’ll be getting all the physical help that I need to get us packed and when he comes home again, hopefully we’ll have found an apartment and be ready to move.

I swear, this is almost too good to be true.

Once we move and once they start doing sales south of here, we’ll travel with him. The kids will love the change of scenery and it will definitely keep my gypsy spirit quiet.

They say it’s always darkest before the dawn and it certainly has been pretty dark around here. Maybe this really is the answer to my prayers.
