I have been in various stages of a daily/weekly life of planning/survival mode for
the last 6 yrs now
I am a very good planner, scheduler and survivalist of life
financially.
I know how to allocate money on what so that we are set up.
I figured out as we went along
how to use to our advantage each time things changed
like when the insurance changed
to use it to our advantage to order again..
this gave us a stock of 6-8 months ahead for when the insurance ran out completely
Prioritize what to buy for food an dry goods so as to not run out
when the money ran out.
But this is the current stage of survivalist
the first stages began years ago by paying off everything we owned
the first stages began years ago by paying off everything we owned
It was tough at times but I am glad we did it... now especially.
The two year mark of DH's job ending has come an gone last week.
It is a very frightening place to be financially
unemployment ended a while ago
Moving to RI for 7 months changed my source of income and I can't say that I miss it!
Having to give up doing a multitude of different professions part time for work
gave me the break to learn to say NO and realize I was really not enjoying what I was doing.
What to do....what to do....
and something that will transition to Alaska with us.
start back up the wallpaper/painting business?
start again consulting for restaruants, businesses again?
start preliminary designing of everything from houses, decks, restaurant kitchens again?
not even going near the working on computers again!
not going near nursing or the medical field again either!
Art! creating and working in various mediums!
Jewelry! my passion
I love photography but that is not gonna bring in money.
Making jewelry does and I love it.
Enough of this....we have are currently "pot jobbing" as some would say and loving it so far.
Helping with spring clean up of a 148 acre apple orchard.
Fabulous...
out doors in the spring air, moving all the apple tree limbs to another field to be burned.
Dan spotted this guy on his way into the orchard on morning.
Dan had a few days work before the owner asked if I would join them.
the apple orchard
the best part of this job aside from being outdoors in a beautiful setting
is
playing with the owners dogs!
We have to take time to play with them.
three are the owners and then she goes and gets 2 others for a
group play time!

Gordie, Homer, Ida and Gillie

she is deaf so had to learn a couple hand commands to
play with this one.
Farm barns next door
