Yesterday's craft show was from 10 AM to 2 PM and went well enough. I made $100.00 and then spent it on groceries. I was glad to spend the time with my friend and let her talk about her Mom. Hopefully the Mom won't suffer too long.
While we were there my friend was approached by the senior center about ceramics classes and went to view the work space. I was more than a bit jealous as I do this show so I have a name with the place, but I can't do anything like that now. Being responsible for my Dad also has a financial side... and I should have healthcare. I have a few years left of this limbo. I don't think my friend will do anything with the opportunity as she wants people to come to her shop... her shop is not set up for elders with canes or walkers and the bathroom is not to code. You would have to teach there. There is a new head of elder services in my city and this is the time to introduce new programs. The old head of Services was walked out by the FBI for stealing funds and placing his relatives first go housing lists that have 5 year waiting lists and that are for poor people.
If fantasy me were able to do it I would start out with a few small seminars to build up interest...then see about getting a kiln there. Just $2500 and a small budget and I could make it work... but that is a fantasy for me
I came home and had a nap with the cat. It was a long week trying to wrangle my Dad, my sister and her partner... None of them have any common sense.
Right now I am procrastinating from setting up my work workspace. Tuesday will be my first WFH day. I really don't want to. I find it depressing, but will need it once Dad becomes electric/battery operated... Yes, I make light of this as a coping mechanism because it scares me shitless.
I also need to get social the next couple months. I'll need it if the start of the year is all of Dad's medical stuff plus my sister and partner living in my apartment.
