Random Consolidated Update
Jun. 5th, 2010 09:08 am* My Mom & Niece will be leaving on Wednesday, so this is my last weekend with them. It really was nice having them here. I was also glad I could share my "paradise" with them (I'm kind of proud of my life....humble as it is) :-)
* Business seems to be picking up a little at the restaurant. I hope it continues in spite of all the negativity on the gulf coast. The oil spill hasn't affected us here in Texas physically, but it sure has emotionally.
* I'm considering the possiblity of going back to school once I move to Corpus (while working too of course). I think I might like to get into the Nursing program at Texas A&M Corpus Christi or Delmar College (though since I've been out of school for almost 30 years - I may need to do a semester or two of pre-requisite work). Nursing is what I was on track to pursue decades ago when my life veered in another direction (no regrets). I think a nursing job will pay adequately, offer decent benefits, jobs are plentiful, and it would fall under my idea of "right livlihood" which is very important to me. As a bonus - I could help myself and family with my knowledge/skills. Both colleges offer an E-Learning program which I might consider while working part-time in a nursing home or care facility to keep it relevent. I'll have to see what our financial situation is like etc., but I feel good about the idea.
* Blackberries are done. It was a good harvest this year. This weekend I will get in there and get everything pruned back. It's sad that this will be my last Blackberry harvest for awhile. Whomever rents the house will be enjoying it next year.
