Did zumba early morning, went to the beach with my nieces rode bikes, skateboard and razor (scooter), got my frozen yogurt fix and shop at Walmart. Home relaxing :)
 
worked from 7 am to 11PM and now at home with a nice glass of red wine before I go to bed.

No, I don't get 'sick' days or vacation time as it is considered contract work. However the chickens are going out in October after I did some looking around on the paperwork. They will probably get more in during December so that might be some (unpaid) time off. The only way I would get time off now is if I were direly ill to the point that I could not walk or stand for very long or if something catastrophic happened. I don't want either option. I'd rather work 6-days a week before I became direly ill or faced some catastrophic event that caused the loss of an entire flock. If we lose the flock, we lose the income, which means no job for me. They lost their flock once during a power outage and the entire house got too hot. 90% of the chickens over heated and died. They were out of chickens for 6 months. My aunt had to take on two full-time jobs as well as her husband having to continue taking care of the other animals on the farm as well as also taking on an additional full-time job. That was just to keep them afloat until they were able to get a new flock of chickens.

I am seriously considering just dropping everything in October when the chickens go out and re-enroll into Uni full-time under student loans. I'm tired of bouncing from job to job hoping I'll stay on long enough to finish school but nothing works out long enough. I think if I had that degree in my hand, people might take me more seriously for better positions. Right now I stand only 14 credits away from an Associates, but I still want to complete my Bachelor's. I don't know of many employers that even recognize an Associates Degree as anything. If I had that I *might* find secretarial work or as a bank teller or something like that. But I know it definitely won't be in this town. I'd have to work out of town as no one here is willing to give me a chance despite them knowing me as a good ol' gal. I dunno. I don't take any relationships I have very seriously because of this.

Frankly I think I'm just burned out in general as nothing is working out. I'm stuck and I need something to unstick me.

Can you apply for jobs out of state and just move away? Then go to school at whatever state you are at? Heard that college education is free for residents of Texas. That should take a year to become a legal resident of Texas. It is something to look into.

You have to be a 10 I think for administrative jobs with USDA. I've never heard of anyone being a new hire for an administrative job. This is a small rural area so I would seriously doubt I would find an administrative job with the Gov't here. Maybe as a secretary for the Forest Service at some campground maybe. If I lived closer to Little Rock or Fayetteville/Springdale I might have an inkling of a chance but not much.

My hubby got a job as a G-10 without much experience and NO college degrree and only in 8 years, he made it big. Still has no college degree. You may have to move to Washington DC. Are you willing to do that for a better opportunity?
 
This past Sat, I went to the travel expo and gathered many infos. Then went to work.

Today, I went to work and now my feet aches like heck.

I hope you get her! Just change her name. She won't care.

Bitter sweet about Finlay, but I really hope you get your new poodle and get her trained soon. One year is a good age.

I called IAADP and I was told I should not pick out a dog to train as hearing dog unless I had trainer go with me . The woman said I could get a dog and spend time and money on it and the dog may not pass as a hearing dog. I know there dog that NEADS had to give a failing grade to as they did cut it as service dog. I am not sure what I will do now! I would love to move to a condo that does allow pets and I could get cat! I had cat the would let me know when the phone was ringing, he would jump up just before I could hear the phone! LOL!!
 
Slept late, read a book, fixed breakfast, read another book, made out the weekly menu, did the grocery shopping and am now relaxing a little. Will fix something for lunch soon.
 
Cleaned all morning and going to be lazy all afternoon until the evening when I start making dinner, getting everything ready for the workweek and getting my son ready for bed.
 
Went to the gas station with my husband and got a new candy bar, Peanut Butter Snickers, it was kind of like Reese's with caramel on top.

Then went for a long walk with my older daughter and ate half a turkey sub.

Now just sitting here with my dogs. Slow day.

I visited a deaf elderly lady this morning and she said she's sorry that she forgot to call and let me know that she has another plan. I told her not to worry about it and we chatted briefly before I left. She said she's so happy to see me. Aw, what a sweet lady!!!

So, I went to church alone. After the hall, 7 deaf friends and I decided to go out for lunch. We ordered our food and we chatted away... We enjoyed our day. I hope you all enjoyed your day as much as I did!

I appreciate your advice, both of you. But as it stands I don't have the money to move. I would need a good 2-4K just to move across town, let alone across country. I don't know anyone I can stay with in these places until I find work and a place to live more permanently. I think I would be better to stay here and finish Uni here by going under student loans and when I finish l can look for teaching jobs elsewhere in the state (perhaps across the state in E. Arkansas such as Lonoke, Crossett, Stuttgart, Helena, West Memphis, Jonesboro, Batesville, etc.) Once my income is more stable and have more experience, I can look into moving out of state. I would love to move closer to an urban area that still has the peacefulness of the countryside.
