Waiting to hear

I went last week for my disability exam. Was hoping to hear from them this week that I got it.  Got a letter today, and I need to call them within the next 10 days, or I'll loose. I'm wondering how much I'll get - if I get it. The county only offered $850, but my SS report from years ago said over $2,000.  Surely, teaching for 20 years and working since I was 13 should bring in a little more than the people I worked with at the homeless shelter who hadn't worked!  We'll see.
I haven't really felt like doing too much. I'd like to tutor, write, counsel, and do my crafts.  So far, I've been too tired to do anything.  I went to the grocery store yesterday afternoon, and today, I am so tired that I fell asleep this afternoon watching television!  I really hate that as I am used to working, and I can't understand why I can't get enough energy to do something!

What a beautiful day!

It is really beautiful here in Indiana today. The weather is perfect! I love it when it's not too cold and not too hot - at the "just right" stage.
I am trying to work on my speeches for the Indiana counselors conference. They will be about texting and cyberbullying and on teen dating violence. I'm trying to locate a better computer and a projector as they have to be supplied by the presenter. I have some movie and tv clips that I want to include, so I'm going to have to do a lot of learning in the next few months! I've never tried these things bofore. Gotta learn sometime.
I'm also working to make the house accessible for tutoring and life coaching. So, if anyone needs a tutor or a life coach - or a presentation, I live about an hour south of Indianapolis!

Memorial Day

I'm looking forward to "retirement." I'm hoping to be able to do presentations on a variety of topics ranging from psychological to storytelling. I will be working on speeches and presentations in the future as well as making crafts to go on my daughter's and my websites - I love Etsy!
I also want to tutor as I enjoy teaching, and I want to write. There are a lot of things that I'm interesting in, and I hope to share information that I have learned along the way with others.

Next to the last Tuesday

Rather a bad day today. I ached all day and am still aching dreadfully now. At least, I can put my feet up. This rainy Indiana weather is taking a toll on my body this year. Usually in the nearly summer time, I feel better. I'm still hoping to relocate to another area where it's dryer - I just don't want hoter! I guess, though, that I can always tell clients that I understand what others are going through.
The girls went to a movie together this afternoon - the bridesmaid one - they said it wasn't as good as advertised. One reason why I don't go to movies very often. It's just too much money for no more entertainment than it is. When you can get DVD's at the dollar stores and garage sales, why bother?
I'm looking forward to setting up my web sites. I think I'll also run ads in the paper for tutoring and music lessons. I need to prepare brochures for other things - like storytelling - and put out newsletters and send emails to daycares, etc. I have so many ideas going through my brain; I'm very excited!
