The last three weeks have been slow at both my and DH's offices. February is typically the slowest month in veterinary offices and then starts picking up. HVAC work slows down when the weather is mild - not cold enough for furnace work; not hot enough for AC work.
When it is quiet we get sent (or choose to go) home early. This past week I lost four hours on Wednesday when the boss told us not to stay for the afternoon. DH was home about 1pm every day this past week, so that is about 12 hours lost there. (The very nice thing is that often his bosses will pay for some of the lost hours.)
It adds up to a lot of lost income.
One week can be absorbed without much pain, but this is the third week and I had to deposit the $60 of cat care cash I had earmarked for the EF to help cover scheduled payments.
If the paycheck pinch continues the first place that gets cut back is extra debt payment.

Exercise would be a really great thing for him, but he has a mental block like exercise *only* happens in a gym. He has been very productive around the house and yard. One afternoon he scrubbed the kitchen top to bottom - It looks awesome!
