What to do?
I'm so stressed. I have a ton of stuff I need to do on a regular basis and about 20% of it is actually getting done. On top of that money is tight. I need to work. Unfortunately I can't necessarily do that. The kids aren't in school full time yet. When they are they'll be in school from 7:30 to 2:10 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 7:30 to 12:10 on Wednesday. I had put them in the Boys and Girls club which runs from the end of school until 6 pm. But no. Kieriana got kicked out because of her temper and Orion today started crying that he didn't want to go anymore because he hates it there.
So if I were to work someplace really close it would have to be from 7:45 till 1:50 with the exception of Wednesdays. No one would give me a job for 6 hours 4 days a week.
I would love to be a full time reiki practitioner. I have a reiki table and sheets for it. I could do reiki on people in their homes while the kids are in school. Before I can do that I would need to get a business license and find clients. I have a plan for that. There are places where I can advertise. i can also volunteer through the San Diego Reiki Corps at a local hospital as well. That could potentially bring in clients.
My plan is that while I'm studying to be a holistic health practitioner I can have a mobile reiki business. Then add HHP to it and then study to be a master herbalist. After that I can study to be a nutritional consultant. Create my own holistic wellness business, still going to people's homes. Eventually I would like to open up a clinic.
I have a few friends who may be able to watch the kids if I can't be here for them due to a session I need to do. So that's worked out. I would pay them $20 to watch the kids (I'm going to charge $65 an hour). So some of what I get will go to them, some to gas, and the rest to be saved or to go towards bills.
On top of this I would like to start working on my artwork again. I have 3 people who are interested in commissions. One of which I need to have done next month. The other two are saving up for theirs. I also need to rebuild my portfolio. I changed my art name and have almost nothing under the new name. I could keep it as it was, J. L. Cochran (which sounds more like an author than an artist) or just go with Jayelle Cochran which is more artsy.
So, there are 4 things I HAVE to start doing regularly:
1. Clean
2. Study for HHP
3. Work on artwork
4. Get reiki business up and running.
On top of this I have:
5. Work on RIFTS campaign (easy, can be done here and there)
6. Create drawings for the project (will be either an animated web series or a web comic...not sure which yet)
7. Sew garb for the kids (needs to be done before Saturday)
8. Work out
I also need to have time to do certain things. Like take care of the kids (can never be put off after all), have a social life of some sort (I'm fine with hanging with friends once or twice a week), and find some time just for relaxing (which I do for an hour or two after the kids go to bed).
I need to start doing all of this asap. I just look at my lists and I get all overwhelmed. In the end I wind up doing some cleaning and maybe some research and that's it. For example, I've had the material for the garb for 2 months now. Not a single stitch sewn.
*sigh* I need to set a schedule but the only problem is that whenever I do that nothing goes according to plan.
ARG!!!
