Easter went well. I had a rough couple of days on Friday and Saturday, family conflicts. I'm shifting gears a little bit. Starting an ecology class this week, self-study. I think that makes all my courses self-study right now. I'm doing better with the imaginary Friday (homework) and Sunday (response) deadlines. I'm so tired today! My cat threw up hairballs last night, 3 times! I gave up sleeping after that. I watched Lilo and Stitch and embroidered. Went to bed at 5am.
We had our second Crafternoon at church. This time two ladies joined me. Last week it was just me and Mom. It was OK. I finished two motifs on my jacket of peacock feathers. I wonder if it's a talent to know how to function when you can't really function. I know now I can embroider for two hours on five hours of sleep! I might have to bag the April PAD poems. I hate giving up. I've only written 6 and posted 5. We'll see.
What's more interesting is what I'm not writing about. Probably. Not really. Tease!

The Road More Traveled
Still crafting like mad. I am embroidering a geometric flower pattern onto a $2 tote bag. Embroidery is an inexpensive hobby compared to crochet. Well, actually I used the transfer twice and one of the smaller versions of the flower on it too. It's turning out to be more work than I thought it would be. I had a crafternoon today, just doing the outline for most of the afternoon.
I'm under some stress. I realized I want to be a counselor. I'll have to start as a peer counselor, if I can get into that program. I will talk to my job counselor this week. I printed out salary lists by city from the department of labor for the Employment Support Group, here, Olympia, Seattle area, Tri-Cities. I thought at first I'd work 20 hours a week and ease into working full-time. Now I'm wondering if I could have an actual career. I've only worked sporadically since college because of my mental illness, which I've had loads of trouble with. The past 10 years have been OK, and recently I've been doing a lot better mood-wise. A lot better!
So that's what I've been mulling over. I know working will affect my schoolwork, but we'll cross that bridge later. I mean, I haven't been doing much classwork lately anyway. My radio is telling me the news, on the hour. Not that I'm interested. It's mostly bad news. I'm not into the news, it just angers me. Lies, more lies, and the liars who tell them. Geez! Tomorrow I'm going to church and then we have our adult youth group that evening. I'm bringing sandwich fixings. I have to call everyone and tell them there's a meeting. Well, all for now! bye
