Dog-sitting means...

... I never have to look for that potato chip I dropped.

... I'm guaranteed exercise every single day.

... I know if someone's in the yard. Or if the mailman's here. Or a leaf blows.

... I have an entire house in a lovely neighborhood to myself until the first week of August.

... I sit out on the back porch, fluffy puppy at my feet, fireflies sparkling in the trees.

... I have a car on loan for the next month.

... my rent and next three paychecks (minus gas, food, student loans, and phone) can be saved to help buy a car.

Now if only work gives me enough hours to do so. Only got eighteen hours of tutoring last week plus some underpaid admin (they pay entry level wages when I have 10+ years of experience). I need a minimum of twenty-eight hours (14 sessions) tutoring. I could start looking for full-time work at colleges though.
