Emotional roller coaster

garnigalYesterday was a down day. I didn't accomplish much, Derek was cranky, VV felt lonely.
It's only 11 am, but my mood is better, which means I accomplished more, VV's done an hour of school work and Derek has fixed a computer and is ready for a meeting.
Speaking of Derek, he accepted a contract with a company in the US. Not exactly what he wants to do, but it's guaranteed income, and since they decided to contract his company instead of hiring him, there are no deductions up front and he can use write offs to lower his tax payment on the back end. It's a significant chunk of change monthly, and will let us get back in the black. Apparently starting a business is a huge money pit (which we did know going in), and this contract will help us dig our way out of that pit while still moving the business forward.
