At Home...trying to figure it out

Not working. What an odd state of affairs! I was NOT one of the many casualties of this recession we seem to be wallowing in. I quit...twice! The first time was in California. I quit to move to another state. I was in my late 50's and just never even applied for another job in banking customer service after I moved to this state. I was perfectly happy mulling over the death of both my parents, the fact that my twin grandchildren were taken from my daughter
and their father and in all respects...from me also!

Lots and lots of drama happened in my life before I came to Oregon. Most of it in and around
the house where I lived. When I think back on it I see myself running down the road toward the airport; hair in complete disarray, screaming at the top of my lungs and carrying an overful suitcase. This is a huge exaggeration , of course, but I really was somewhat nuts! I should also mention that I was married at the time I moved...I say "I moved" because I did, he came with me.
After relaxing here in Oregon for awhile I did get a job as a Book and Magazine merchandizer
or a "rack jockey" as it's sometimes called. This was completely different than anything I'd ever done before and I liked it! The job was becoming increasingly physical and I tried , but I was unable to do it. I quit this one in the spring of 2009.

Oh ,but I do meander!

Now where were we...Oh thats right. I was telling you about how I feel about no longer being in the working world. Well, I can sleep in! That's good. But truthfully I'm a little lost! Not working when I first came to Oregon was different...it was a drama rest that I needed to have. But now it's for real! That's scary!

I'll tell you a secret though....I'm finally learning to cook!

Talk to you next time
