August was a month of changes. A month of transitioning from my previous role with Vrbo/HomeAway, taking a much appreciated one week break from work, and prepping for the new job.
That said, I managed to put in some trades, but only closed on one in August for Facebook, for a $392 profit.
Not great as far as income goes, but still a positive. Hopefully September brings a better return. Trade war headwinds really made the last few months rather tricky to manoeuvre. But that also brings about volatility and opportunity.
On the personal front, I’ve since started at my new job. It’s my first week, so I’m still meeting the teams and trying to feel my way around the role. It’s also been a particularly difficult week since my wife is overseas on a business trip, and so I have to look after the 2 little ones on my own.
Everything is generally fine until it comes to bedtime, where the little one is so used to sleeping with mummy, and so that becomes my biggest struggle, where he’ll cry at night for mummy. It’s also a struggle for me to put him back to sleep when he wakes up in the middle of the night, but it’s getting better.
In fact, I’m updating this post after putting him back to bed at 4am. On the positive side, there’s World War Z on Netflix!
I was away last week and my husband said the same thing…the little one is use to sleeping with me so he has the same struggle of our son missing me at bed time.
Good luck on the new job!
We need to have a daddy support centre… 😂
