Working

Posted on December 6, 2008 at 3:54pm 1 Comment

I have a part time job that serves to keep the wolves at bay when our home businesses are not doing well. My job is to answer phones for a cell phone company and I am privileged in the fact that I can choose my own hours and work from my home. And it is honestly not a hard job. But seriously, I would rather be doing 100's of other things besides answering back to back phone calls for a company I don’t own and have no interest in.

Gave my all

I have been giving my all these past few days to finish this 50000 words for the NaNoWriMo novel before the deadline. I submitted my 50165 words tonight with 6 minutes to spare. This story needs refining but I feel like I have accomplished something important.

Today was an exceptional so far.

My give today is a chest protector pants, gloves, jersey and protective underwear (tailbone protector) to friend whose son races BMX bikes. I'm putting them in a box to mail to her.

now for the receiving.

Our home business involves going to auctions and buying pallet loads of things to sell.

Today there was a group of 4 pallet loads of used luggage that no one would bid on. (You have to take it all) So the auctioneer offered it for $1. My… Continue
