Once again rescued... at least from one crisis.
I really am starting to think I'm a failure. Even possibly as a kid.
If I had a vice like gambling or something that I could say I spent my money on, it would be something that is fixable.
But I'm not.. just a hard working, somewhat lazy, slightly ADD adult that just can't survive on what I earn. If it was just me, hey, you spin the wheel and take your chances but it's me and the kids.
I can't keep a car running 100% because I run out of money... it's almost like I have to live in a cave and ride a bike to work in order to survive.
Just so frustrating to have to ask for money or hint until someone gets it. I borrowed $20 from three people at work today (two fives and a ten, not that much from all of them). My lease runs out in 14 months which is about the same timeline as my walkabout. If I'm still in this place and have a car, I will be very tempted to get a one bedroom and live as cheaply as possible. The one bedrooms here are more within my budget, but still at the top end of my affordability range.
The plan is to start making money on the side (If it was allowed I would get side garden design jobs, but it's not kosher and could get me fired from the nursery.)
I'm going to list some more things on my Etsy shop, and spread the word elsewhere..might have a bite on someone wanting to buy one, so hopefully that will get the ball rolling.
The other thing is sending a chapter of my book to various editors and see if anyone bites. I haven't written anything in a while and as soon as I can get it to a second draft stage where someone can run and edit on it, I can get it published. Even if it's on a site like Lulu (publishing on demand service) at least I could get it out there and drop it on a few publishers.
Okay, that's enough for now. I'm feeling creative despite my situation and that's actually a good sign. Have to go take some pictures of some stitch markers that I made as an extra to go with my pattern card packages.
Love you all!
