Busy Summer Aug.25.05
Everyone I know is SUPER BUSY! I feel like I am the busiest of the bunch. Every weekend is packed with things that have to be done IMMEDIATELY. I had a groundhog take up residence under my house. It took me a month to get rid of him. We (my girlfriend and I) have several family gatherings, weddings and social events to host and show up for. We have to also make sure things like getting the lawns cut and watering the plants and gardens gets done. A couple looking after two places is crazy, but we are forced into this situation because I am on a disability pension and my medical costs are more than what I live on for everything else. If I moved I with her, my pension would be slashed or totally cut off. We cannot afford that.
I have an inspector coming over later today to look at my house to see what needs to be done to it. I am working on the foundation and wrapped the pipes in insulation over top of a heating cord. My pipes will not freeze as long as my electricity runs. At the same time I am finishing up a book I started writing this year. I have some post production work to be done on it before it will be available to the public. Meanwhile my girlfriend is holding a full time job and I am self-employed online and off. I work two days a week (if you can call giving Tarot card readings and seated massages work? More like play!) at a local old book store. He also sells antiques, so it is a shop I can spend hours in and not get bored.
At the same time I have some of my bee’s wax candles, Sterling Silver jewelry I make and my drums selling at another local shop. I have to make more of a certain size candle and the only time I can do it is when it is nice outside. I also have some plans for more interesting silver items.
My girlfriend and I help a friend when he does an auction. I am the muscle and she does the books and takes the money. We had to turn down two jobs because we will be at weddings both days. We will be helping him another day in the fall. We have only one Saturday this month to have a yardsale I have to take a day off of my work for both weddings, so I need to make up that lost income somewhere.
I am raising Worms for organic gardeners or to be used for bait or feeding exotic animals. That does not take up a lot of my time, thank God. We like to go dancing and fishing and we do both as often as we can. I got stuck cleaning sixteen fish because she had to work the next day.
This must be the year of the Rabbit- GO, go, go!
