I missed writing last Friday because I was able to get some overtime hours at work. Overtime is not easy to come by anymore and it is not easy to work it either. There were years that I could work as much overtime as I wanted and I had the energy to do it too. Believe me, that was many moons ago. I am grateful for the few hours that I get and I am more grateful that my job is mostly secure. It is unfortunate that when the economy gets bad my job is even more secure. Domestic problems increase when financial problems increase. My heart goes out to those who are struggling. Before I came to work for the County of Los Angeles I worked 3 jobs to be able to take care of my children, so I do understand.
I guess I am still working 3 jobs. Making jewelry and selling Avon. Yes I also sell Avon. It makes people happy. I don't really make money selling it but I get a few products. Mostly I like playing store. When I was a child in elementary school, on rainy days we had to stay inside. The classroom had a 'cardboard town', with a post office, store, barber shop, etc., and I loved to play store, and I still do.
Soon I will have items here at the Angels' Closet for sale. Mean time anything can be made to order. I will also have some of my drawings posted. I am working on it, so hang in there with me.
The magazine that I work closely with to have some of my pieces published changed their name. It used to be BeadUnique, now it is Bead Design Studio, and I love it; the name and new format. I am also quite jazzed because they published one of my granddaughter's pair of earrings that she made. Kiara is 17 and is living with me while she goes to college. She is very talented. the last time I sent a package to the magazine editor I included a pair of Kiara's earrings with a note. I am so proud of Kiara, and needless to say she is on cloud 9 with her earrings being published. I hope she makes something else that I can send in for her.
I am working on a new necklace right now. I don't know what it will become but it will let me know. I can tell you that is is lime green and a soft blue, so far.
I sure miss practicing being retired. It has gotten difficult to keep up with the laundry again as well as the emails and making the rounds visiting all my grand babies.But I am truly grateful for the blessings I enjoy in my life. We are all employed, mostly healthy, and very much happy.
