| Here is a collection of ruminations and whatnot. |
| What do you do when you're 63 years old? I'm still spry, have my health, do have some addictions to coffee and cigs. Some of my physical infirmities include a wonky knee, and some bunions, lol. But they're fashionably covered up by Lucky flats, haha. I have a few businesses that I have as a contractor but the most of my day is spent chatting up about it on social media. I'm learning how to use Adobe, and some odd website called Photofy (sp?) and then going on Zoom meetings with several of the business mavens that own these companies who teach us newbies what to do, how to do and be happy girls and boys. I'm still trying to find a writing job either in regulatory or as a proofreader/editor. I don't find some of the recruiters who contact me to be sure things. These big jobs they 'promise' aren't available because they're probably scams. I am suspecting many of these emails are from spammers and they only want to see what I'm doing or am about so I used to send them my resume but I'm guessing they're all going into the round file. Or worse, I'm getting nicked as a new person somewhere who's pretending they have all these skills that I have on my resume! I'm probably catastrophizing but well, what ever. But, the fun parts are going on YouTube and chatting about this and that, or about one or more of my businesses, trying to drum up some business, as you might guess. YouTube is quite good at their analytics, I'm seeing and that helps me feel as though people are interested enough. Many people come from some of these same businesses and that's alright. In the meantime, in between time, I crochet, knit and do some needlework. I've got some patterns for sewing if I ever get enough table space to cut a pattern. But that's not happening as there isn't. I could even cut hair if you wish to have me cut your hair - I can do a man's hair or a woman's hair, (mine mostly) to cut. My stepfather can't risk going to the haircutting place due to the COVID problem. So he's had to condescend to ask me to cut his hair! I did that today, after he washed it (I demanded he wash his hair first) and that went well enough. He has a few hairs on his head yet, haha. I almost asked him for a fee to cut his hair but the man's broke like me. Haha. So at this age, I can do more but I somehow can't get a paying job but well, what does one do? I'm hoping that 9 days of being on ramen noodles won't kill me or my stepfather. I think ramen is safe, don't you? Unless you believe these scientific wonks who claim it has polyacrylamide which is rather not what I'd like in my body. But, if one has to have ramen that's what I'll have. I've discovered the joys of broth. The asian store has packets of them, so I have a broth soup ever so often. It's good going down your gullet. Quite a hearty meal, except it has nothing else but water (hot) and some sort of chicken precipitate. I guess this old body of mine will be alright. I just need to do some exercise like lifting my 30 pound baby puppy and hauling him around the house like a baby, so it will keep my biceps firm (haha). Other than that, this is life in the 'fast' lane. |
