Went to two job club meetings today, finally put the rest of the Christmas stuff that was piled in the garage away in the attic, paid a few bills. Now ready to hit the pillow.
Another job club meeting in the morning. A new one I haven't been to before. Hope to meet some new people and make some good contacts.
Say a prayer!

Another old friend....
Saw another old friend today, two actually, that I hadn't seen in a long time.
Surprised to see one of them in a uniform. We had a nice long chat. Very encouraging.
Then, as if an answer to a prayer we had just been talking about, another opportunity for a place to teach parenting classes. Sounds like it might be a really great opportunity. Planning to meet to discuss it next week.
Say a prayer!
It was a bit chilly for a day at the Lake, but really glad I went. Will look at the photos tomorrow. Too tired now....
I'm about to hit the pillow. Very tired, and church and a play tomorrow!
Yay!
Sweet dreams!

Another late night....
Job Club this morning. Saw some friends there.
Had a great time tonight at stamp group. Made some cool cards and scrapbook pages. Lots of fun and laughter. Wish I had more time for that than one night each month! Maybe after we get the businesses growing, my schedule will even out a little and I can add another event like that. Good to have fun!
Got the evite sent for the 50+ Wine and Cheese party this month.
Started getting things ready to send out to promote more parenting classes.
A somewhat productive day. More tomorrow.
Tired now. Sleep.

Really a night owl....
Yes, I really am a night owl!
I went to a RISE event this evening and am still on the computer since I got home. I'm not even tired, but should go to bed so I can go to LPJC in the morning!
I only took a 30 minute nap this afternoon. Love those naps! Used to take one almost every day on my lunch hour. That must be why I still need them now.
Had a great lunch today at the Doubletree. Yummy triple chocolate cheesecake! Met some really nice people. The Blood Center Award Luncheon. I coordinated the blood drives at work for several years. Passed it on to a dear friend who is still working there. She'll do a great job of coordinating them. I may still have to go there to donate, unless we start doing more than 2 a year at church. If they are scheduled at the right intervals, I can do two at each place. Either way, benefits a lot of people. Saves lives. If you don't donate already, please check into it. It's easy and not painful. Only takes a short time. If you or someone you know has ever needed blood, you know how important it is!
OK, off to Nappy's house so I can get up soon!

Interesting website class today....
I had originally planned to get out and pass out fliers today, but apparently wasn't supposed to do it just yet. As it turned out, on the way home from the website class we went to, E and I were talking about dropping off fliers and came up with another idea. If I had dropped some off earlier, I might have missed the opportunity we talked about. Everything happens for a reason. All part of God's plan. Wish He'd share a bit more of it with me. I know..... in HIS time!
The website class was very interesting. I picked up a few things, and E got some ideas for improving ours.
Soup supper was great! Had a nice chat with a couple of friends. Was glad to be there for someone. The meditation program before the service was great! Same one we did at the ECW retreat recently. Really a blessing. Was nice to see Suzanne again.
Couple of things to do before I hit the pillow, so better get busy!

A little late....
Busy day.... ran a few errands this morning. Made the first deposit of my unemployment benefits. Will figure out what to pay tomorrow. Too tired to focus on that tonight.
Got the bread for the Wednesday evening Lenten soup supper.
I'm ready to go to a website class/meeting Wednesday afternoon. Yep, that's today. Glad it's not in the morning! I wish I had noticed one of the RISE sessions sooner. I would have gone. It's at 8 am downtown. Not something I'm inspired to do at this point. I would have to leave WAY early to beat the rush hour traffic! The longer I'm not working, the less I want to tackle that traffic.
Got a new flier ready to take around the rest of the week to promote parenting classes.
Need to work on a "phone script" or two for different folks to call. That's a project for the afternoon, after the website thing.
Well, off to Nappy's house. It's been a long one.

Well, I did it....
I went to TRS today to turn in my retirement papers.
I'm hoping and praying that it's the right thing to do at this point. It seems to be. Everything seems to be leading us to teaching more parenting classes. It would be nice to fill the one we have scheduled this month! That would be encouraging, ....and help pay the bills.
I met another person today who can, and will hopefully, help promote the classes to a couple of groups she belongs to.
I plan to either send a bunch of initial emails tomorrow, or go hand out some fliers and meet some people at different childcare places in the area.
It's an adventure to get people to see that parenting is the most challenging and most rewarding JOB they will ever have and yet they don't feel the need for training to make their life easier. It amazes me that people will pay tons of money for classes in everything else.
Well, say a prayer and wish me luck!
