Over a year! Oh my!!

I cannot believe it has been almost TWO years since I blogged here! Not that there are tons of followers, but it is a fun place to just write and try to a bit creative.

OK, in those almost TWO years not a lot has happened. I had to ditch the Medical transcription course in the second semester. I did finish the first and got to use it to complete my requirements to keep my LVN license active. Which is very important to me. There are several reasons I quit; I hated it! LOL! I just couldn't stand listening and typing. I knew from the start that I am not an "audio" personality, but thought I could over come that. I did not want my home to be my work place! It is my sanctuary and I couldn't imagine dreading getting out of bed to work all day, typing and listening to a Doc drone on. I also spoke with a friend who has done it for very many years and she told me she was ready to be done. The field has changed and she felt the need for "human typists" was going to be replaced with technology that will allow Docs to dictate and have the document automatically typed. All of that was enough for me. The first reason was enough!

Sadly my hubby was not impressed as he saw me working several days a week as a bonus to his being unemployed. He had me go on several other, nurse related interviews. I finally had to tell him I was not going to work! There is a reason I have been on medical retirement (hate the word disability) for over ten years!! He isn't really happy with me over it, and I am not happy with him for not understanding that! he is still not working. The Lord has protected and provided for the past two plus years. Bob is in school, doing a computer class and has a zippy resume now. Please pray he can find a job that includes benefits! I pay over $700 a month for my insurance and he has switched to VA benefits. Praise God he could do that!!

I have started mosaicking again and as a result of my plate collecting fever, you should see my garage, I have begun making garden sculptures, using plates and pretty copper pipe. They are selling well! We are planning marketing blitz for Spring! I hope to be able to add some income to our household using my little business. I have my things in two local shops now :)

OK, I will be done this day. if you are reading this, thank you :) Please make a comment!
