Enjoying the Light in the Sky

For those of you that don't know, I am still unemployed. I was able to get my unemployment benefits extended for 20 more weeks. That was a nice relief. I am trying to stay productive and get things completed which I am never that good at regarding my personal stuff. I was pleased to be able to compile a pretty good list the last time I updated so I am going to do it again.

1. Officially completed Aspen's room - painted stars on the wall, got her a new bed and mattress and she is officially moved into her bedroom.
2. Hosted the first teen party at the house to celebrate her birthday and sleepover in her new room.
3. Was approved for my RA meds for free for one year! Relief!
4. Still studying (slowly) for GRE.
5. Working on jewelry again, expanding, adding earrings and bracelets. Deciding on a name.
6. Did 3 card readings for clients and made $85!
7. Started clearing out the garage 1 box at a time.
8. Still gardening - planing more flowers.
9. Still working on the class reunion stuff - need to get a meeting together with the volunteers.
10. I am still job searching but trying to take advantage of this time off and enjoy the weather and the leisure time.

Goals:
Finish studying for GRE and take the test.
Finish clearing out the garage.
Get the spare bedroom set up.
Get my jewelry set up online.
Go on an all girl trip with my girls even if it is just for an extended weekend!
Figure out what I am going to be when I grow up.

I have been reading books like crazy. Mainly anything I can get my hands on so whatever my daughter has not finished or has not started I have been reading. So a lot of teen based books but I love to read so it is good and I haven't had any crying sessions over it! LOL

The dogs are doing good. I love hanging out with them during the day. The birds and squirrels running all over the neighborhood are entertaining too. It makes me wish I had drawing skills!

So the theme? I am enjoying the light in the sky and feeling stress free since life is never simple for long.

I am so glad you are able to embrace this feeling. I envy your ability to do that. I would be living in a constant state of stress!!! I can't even convince myself to relax when I know I only have 14 more weeks until law school starts... ugh...
