Laid to rest

We finally buried Doris Kat's remains in the back yard. MonsterMustDie adorned the grave site with a marker he found in his treasure-hunting and a couple of ferns.

Choose: Love, Time, Money

I seem to have to make the choice between the three elements necessary for all human life: Time, Money (life), or Love (human relationships).
Obviously, I can't live without some income. I guess that is the choice I have to make now. At my age, I will not be making enough money again in my lifetime to choose to take my chances on the money part.
This month, I've taken a second part-time job. The new gig is freelance, so there is no payroll accounting for taxes and I'm sure I'll pay dearly for that. However, it does pay a whopping two dollars more an hour than what I'm currently making at the dress shop and I'm getting a lot more hours from them with the possibility of being brought on full-time in the future. The future might take place as soon as August... We'll see how it shakes out. Meanwhile, all of my week days are completely clogged with graphics when I'm not working retail and all of my weekends are full of retail. Trying to hold onto both branches until I see which one will not snap.
This also means I can't even travel overnight until my schedule becomes predictable and safe to ask for days off work. I want to go down to Georgia to visit old friends. I'd like to take a week or long weekend to got to Florida to further acquaint myself with others but I can't for now.
Meanwhile, the potentially full-time job has requested that I pull back and stay off social media as long as I'm associated with them. This means no input to Google maps, Facebook, Twitter, etc. although I continue to follow my friends and family feed on all channels. This makes me more of a ghost than I already am. I am hoping that I can still get away with blogging, which can be a bit more esoteric these days, so I am sharing this with you, dear friends. You can still find me here on in Mail and Text for now. My phone is still not functioning for sound unless I'm using a Bluetooth device. Please feel free to call me - I promise I will call you back as soon as I grab the Bluetooth device.
Meanwhile, stay tuned...
