My new job began at the tail end of my marathon training. I mentioned the marathon to my principal as I was taking the job, and she passed it off as no big deal. What is the big deal is finding time to continue my training during the week, and shortening the planned extended trip due to work. Tonight I found out just how much that change is gonna cost me - $484. That is how much our nonrefundable tickets cost to change. Now we will return on Tuesday instead of Thursday.
However, I will make more than that in a week of work, I think, so the net change is much in the positive. Jim is okay with not extending the vacation -that way he will have a few more days around the Christmas holidays. So really it was not that big of a deal.
But, I so dreaded making the call and the change. I think it stems back to a time I purchased theatre tickets -in London- for the same time we had booked a train ride - to Paris. Ever since I get a little nervous making reservations.
Check off one to do for the marathon trip.
31 days away,
