Hi amber pep! I’m a senior lady too, so I am curious enough to do a little research on possible areas of employment for us “cougars”.:). Have you contacted local schools? They hire seniors for crossing guards. Also, stores such as Costco have many seniors promoting food and other products at their kiosks. If you have access to publishers, proofreaders are always needed. Local libraries hire seniors to man the information desks and book checkout. Find a list of focus group organizations in your area. Many conduct focus groups online. If you have experience to qualify for any of the many subjects they research, you are paid for your participation.
In my community, house sitters are very much in demand. Usually you stay in the house, water plants, take in mail and keep the house looking occupied while owners are away. If you enjoy pets, those sitters are paid even more.
I empathasize with the limitations of anxiety — I too have issues with this difficult challenge. I sure hope this helps you a bit and that we all return to good health together!

Charlie75, thank you. I actually came on this site because I was experiencing my occasional “spells” of anxiety and nausea and wanted to get my mind off myself. It worked! This is a great forum isn’t it? I hope you’re having a good day!
