Have you noticed the big use of apostrophe's in my post titles, do you think that says something about me?
So the big news is that I am going back to work next week. I was laid off last October, and didn't get unemployment for the first five months. So it has been the winter of discontent here big time. Here I am nine months later, and no baby to show for it :-)
For all that I was going to be making things to sell, I have made things, and yes a shed load of things to sell, but that is as far as I have got. I think now I have to plan on having a table at a craft market, and see if there is any interest. I want to be in a situation to keep on making things, and do that once in a while. If there is a real interest, I like to think that it could be more my job than the day job.
Having said all that, more recently, with time getting a bit critical for immigration, I have been Sudoku crazy, yes I got Sudoku crazy while living in France in the early 2000's, and it is very good for the grey matter did you know? And on top of all that, it is very calming, so it has additional benefits.
This past week I discovered the Grandfather Patience card game, so you see, yet another hobby that is good for the grey matter. My mother you see has Alzheimers / Dementia - call it what you will, and my memory has always been very poor, all my life truly, so it brings you up short when you have this hanging over you. Hence the need to use the grey matter in whatever way I can, so that I can remind myself that my mind is still sharp.
I have no idea if anyone is reading this, but I will now try to post more regularly with being over this latest crisis. Talking of crises, a friend in England said to me, 'Blimey Gemma, if you didn't have crises, I bet you would get bored'. And right now I would be happy not to have another crises ever again in my life.
