While Hampton has been feeling good and schooling like a champ, the rest of my life is a bit tense at the moment. There is a chance I will get laid off next week because about 75% of my job is being eliminated. I am hoping that I just get moved to work on another product, but I have my resume updated and am trying to come up with plans to get by until I find a new job.
I don't have any savings, and nothing to fall back on. I don't have a spouse to pick up the slack. It's a very scary situation to be in.
I would need to get a new job within a week or I would have to take drastic measures. (Well, depending on any severance pay they may or may not offer) Selling Hampton would be a last resort, but I most certainly have considered that option. But only if I am about to become homeless. I would sell my condo before I sold Hampton, hands down. haha
All of that is still up in the air though and I'm trying to remain optimistic that my team will just get moved around a bit instead of laid off.
All the while my boss has not been around to reassure anyone as her husband is extremely sick in the hospital.
Which brings to me to .... stuffs for sale!
This is my Ryder Zara which I rode in for a number of years, until I won my new saddle. Has panels best suited for horses with broad shoulders. It's stamped 17 x 4. Standard 16" flaps. Thigh blocks, but they are not super bossy. Very comfy. They sell new for around $2000. I am asking $1300. I'm not opposed to giving a blogger discounts either haha.
Prestige Collections RJ Classic black show coat. Great condition. Size says 2R. Regular length, should fit bust size 34-35, waist 27-28 and someone who is 5'4-5'7. Have more photos for reference if you need. $80

ReplyDeleteOne of the infinite number of times I wish I was one of those magical people with money who can just help everyone whenever they want. :-( I will keep everything crossed for you, as a hater of uncertainty myself, I can imagine that is horribly stressful.
ReplyDeleteThat is scary and I am sorry you are going through this period of uncertainty. I hope it all works out well for you!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a use for a third dressage saddle, yours is lovely! Fingers crossed on the job front 🤞
