Now I've got some spare time again, lots of it, and I figured I'd be blogging at least once a day. Not so, so it seems. Writing feels odd. I'm thinking about all sorts of things, but none of them are bloggable (which the spellchecker is telling me is not a word, while blogging, apparently, is).
Here's the thing: I went to tech school, studied medical transcription, coding, billing, blah blah blah, and there are no jobs. And while I'm sending resumes out to the few jobs that arise, I'm discovering that I don't care that no one has called me for an interview. None of those sent resumes were for medical transcription. Not one job has opened up since I finished school way back in mid-July. So, as I was pondering how I'd easily get some part-time job, after all, I'd gotten all A's (whoo hoo look at me!). . .now the cold reality has set in that I can't even get an interview for a receptionist gig, and quite frankly, the idea of working as a receptionist makes me think of killing myself (just kidding).
So what does all of this add up to? Brainstorming. Lots of it. If I can't find a job, I must make one. And, I miss running my own business. I miss work. In fact, I miss hard work. I miss the trials and tribulations of creating something that might succeed (or not). I miss putting my all into something that isn't just personal.
Brainstorming and daydreaming takes up lots of mental energy. I didn't realize that. The Web has been most helpful in my search for "what's next." I've got some ideas, but until I feel that they are ready to be announced, birthed (if you will), I'm keeping mum.
So, there is the reason I've not been writing blog entries. It's hard to write when one is keeping a secret, and it's hard to write about other things when one's mind is filled with ideas. Hopefully, soon, I'll either have given up on the ideas that are filling up my mind (and time) or I'll decide it's time to make a commitment to what shall now be officially called What's Next. Stay tuned.
Somehow What's Next will involve some fragrance, even if it's totally irrelevant. Yeah, I'm crazy.

I'm working on some What Next myself these days so I totally understand having a preoccupied mind and little interest in blogging.
Good luck with your What Next! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
Do you have a shop on Etsy? That would be an awesome place for you to sell your yarn and any other handmade or artsy things. Etsy dot com. Sometimes people request tattoo art. Not the actual tattoo but they request and artist to draw something that they will then be able to take to a tattoo shop. Post your shop name on your blog so we can see your shop.
I'm a bit late in saying "good luck to you", TMC!
And Fabianna, the last thing in the world I'd like to do right now is draw up tattoo images, but thanks for the tip.
