Not quite ready for early retirement.
Monday, July 2nd, 2007I received a social security statement today. Interestingly enough, I’m only a few credits away from the minimum credit requirement for retirement. I found that pretty amusing.
Last post I wrote about how I had a tiff with my mom. . .well she wrote back surprisingly enough with little drama, but she told me that she’s going to “give me some space, and if she needs anything, she’ll contact me.”
Fine with me.
The search for a way to make income is depressing. There are office jobs to be had, but they’re low-paying, and I REALLY don’t want another one of those. I’m not sure about the other jobs I’m seeing posted, since all of my experience is office related, pretty much. I don’t know what else to do though. I’ve had thoughts of walking into tattoo places and asking if they need a counter person. Maybe I could get trained as a piercer or something. There’s a studio around here that gives piercing classes, but I’m wary of classes now, stupid spinning wheel girl.
I should spin some. I keep telling myself I should dye my yarn too, but I don’t really want to dye it until I know what I want to do with it, and I’ve only got the primary colors, and I know if I mix them the colors I make are going to either be garish or just totally brown. Maybe I don’t have enough confidence in my color palette abilities. I’m pretty good at mixing paint to exactly what color I want.
I’m back on the pill again, and this is the end of my first month. I hate how with the pill I’m on, there’s a week where you don’t take anything, and then on Sunday you start a new pack. I’m terrified that I’m going to forget. I have a daily alarm on my sidekick though, so hopefully I won’t. Sunday is Rotorfest though.
My car’s running a little rough, but I’m sure it’s some tweaking that will make it run smoothly.
The worst part of having all of this free time is the boredom. I had all these ideas of things I’d do if I quit my job when I still had it, and now that I’ve quit, all of the ideas are gone. My creativity is drained. :/
