Today, I nailed down another job for myself. The massage therapist I've been seeing for the past few years is now pregnant, and searching for coverage for her new clients, and eventually as a transition for her older ones, too, as she goes on maternity leave. For several months after she gives birth, she's not so likely to drop in very often, which will leave me with more and more of a feel for having my own practice. (Potentially, in fact, I could take over the practice.) Meanwhile, her pay scale is somewhat better than that of the spa I'm currently at, and she plans to phase me in, first one day a week, then slowly up to two and three. It's good news.
