Daily Dose... Working

 2014.9.17_Working

Have I ever mentioned that I hate working? Well, I pretty much hate anything that has to be done on a regular basis, like dusting and washing dishes; or takes me outside of ‘The Estate’ like grocery shopping, and working.

So, I have been trying to come up with some ways to make money that would essentially make me happy – I actually have it written down in my daily affirmations (that I should be repeating daily, but am not):

·         I want to earn money using my talent and creativity

·         I want to live in a safe and nurturing  environment

·         I always want to have a secure income

·         I want to be in a healthy and loving relationship with someone who adores me

·         I want to be spoiled, pampered and loved

·         I want to go through life always having full and total confidence in my abilities and myself

comunque  (Italian for anyway)  – I thought at one point that I could make money at this blog, but that is obviously not gonna happen with only two followers *sheesh*, and I would have to add ads, which I personally find annoying when I try to read other people’s blogs with these stupid things spliced into the context. So – good news is, I can continue to randomly prattle on with this venue since nobody reads it anyway, bad news is that I still need to find a reliable income source that doesn't take me out of my comfort zone.

The second idea is of course the one that I have already started and invested a ton of money in, and that would be making jewelry.

This of course would involve me actually making something – unfortunately I have fallen completely off the artsy fartsy wagon since the last semester I was in school – and now my worktable/desk looks like this… which now that I think about it, is cleaner than it was last week. 

So it will obviously take some cleaning up before I can even sit down – plus that, most of my projects right now are repairing previously made items, which I do not find enjoyable in the least. All of my listings on Etsy have expired, and I even though I am considering posting some stuff on ebay, that site needs a major amount of ‘tweaking’ before I would probably use it. But – that’s an option. I NEED TO MAKE A LIST!!! There are so many things I need to do just to get that kickstarted.

Soooo…  my other idea – which really is pretty harebrained, is for me to start a YouTube channel. Technically I already have a channel under the guise of ‘The Video Virgin’; even though I started it at least a year ago, I haven’t posted anything so far. But I thought it would be nice to do some tours of the area, festivals and local attractions, plus some on subjects that interest ‘funemployed’ senior citizens such as downsizing your life, small space decorating, and cooking for one, and online dating (of course). This would probably be a great idea if it were not for the fact that I despise looking at myself in pictures or mirrors, and I can’t stand the way I talk – my voice has a sarcastic tone that I find especially annoying!! So I predict filming will be pretty awkward. I need to start practicing talking to myself – which is only hard to do if I actually want to talk to myself, any other time I’m prattling on to myself all day long. I need to start describing everything I do out loud and not just in my head, in order to get comfortable with the camera – and do some test filming to see how ugly I am on camera – ugh!

But in the meantime, I will do what I seem to do best – getting ready to get ready – I already have my notes, lists, and post-its project underway, so now all I need to work on are elocution, and not looking scary on camera.
