It’s nice to meet you also, @merpreb. I’m with you on deep breaths when company leaves. Wonderful while they’re here and sometimes bittersweet but nice to wave farewell. I have ideas for employment but no job in hand as this is something I’ve thought about for months but not pulled the trigger on. I’m passionate about learning. I can work remotely, which I’ve done with instructional design, but contract work can get intense and I don’t need that right now. Many friends and acquaintances have suggested I write our story, and my husband and I are taking a class from a published author starting this Tuesday for that very thing. I don’t know where that will lead, but it could provide at a minimum the social outlet I’m seeking and a feeling of personal accomplishment. I’ve applied to two jobs, one remote, part-time supporting a medical services company that works with seniors, and the second is part time in a library for minimum wage. I’d love to take that one on. My dream job would be a job share teaching language arts and social studies combined to 5th graders in a private school. Afternoons only. That’s pretty specific, but one can dream.
