Most of you know that my son Sean is moving away from home for the first time next month to start his junior year at PSU. I accept it even though I know it will take a bit of adjustment on my part (darn wet eyes as I type this). So he’s all excited about being able to finally feel like an adult (AKA taking care of himself completely). What am I going to do-not that I didn’t have a choice before-but I want to add to the family income or at least make pocket money until something comes along in the outside world. I was sitting here thinking and looking at blogs and it dawned on me that I could work from home doing things I enjoy and work with the computer, another fun thing-why not? Plan is to craft and sell on etsy.com first. Some divine force ‘made’ me buy all these craft books for a reason-because ‘they’ knew. Get my drift? I can sew, crochet, cross stitch, photograph and edit photos, do paper crafts, draw, etc.. And then there is half.com-for the books I just don’t need anymore. I have sold on there in the past. Sometimes it’s a while between sales. Lastly, my old standby eBay. So maybe my right brain side will be so darn happy!
Trying to cut back on refined sugars and yeasty things. I really think they are the culprit to my crummy tummy problems. Today I was in the grocery store forever! I got some agave sugar substitute. I know there is sugar in almost everything. It’s a start. I had looked up a list of what’s good to eat and believe me it’s mostly meat and veggies-a lot of fruits aren’t good. I was taking that med for a few months and am almost finished with it. It is said to produce lots of yeast! You get med for one problem and it aggravates another one. Six of one, half dozen of another. I did take a acidolphilus tablet to promote healthy bacteria in the gut and it was better today. I may just have to take it everyday.
Lots of rain is expected tonight. I went to the store knowing a storm was on it’s way. I had my Mary Poppins umbrella and it saved me. : )
Congratulations on your son being in college, that is terriffic for a parent! Thanks for stopping by my blog and saying hey. I love all of the flowers you share, I just love flowers and gardens…and critters. I have desert landscaping with only 2 potted flower plants so I miss having color around my home (we have potted cacti and some palm trees that are pretty though). I am going to be starting a design called “God’s Critters” by The Workbasket soon.
When my sons moved out, I sat in their bedroom and bawled my eyes out…it’s very hard to let them go!! I think it’s an excellent idea to try selling your crafts online…so many people do it, why not you? hehe Whatever you decide to do, the very best of luck with it!! xox
Have you heard of something called “Align.” It’s a special form of acidophilus that’s supposed to really help with symptoms of irritable bowel and such. Do a search for it on Google. Congrats on your son going away to college. I’m sure it’s a very bittersweet time for all.
