Trish's World

Here are a couple of recently finished projects. The first is a case for my Passport portable hard drive. I didn’t like tossing it into my bag with nothing protecting it, so I made this little sleeve. The second is a draft snake I made for the man cave. Since the door to the attic is there, a lot of cold air seeps through under the door, so I whipped up this draft dodger, which seems to be helping a little. It’s just a bunch of scraps that I crocheted together, and I stuffed it with scrap yarn, scrap fabric, and some dry beans to keep it in place. Kind of ugly, but useful.

I am not very good at being out of work. I feel like a big useless lump. I am keeping busy around the house by cleaning and doing chores, but it just isn;t the same. I am looking for work every day but haven’t seen too much that interests me AND I am qualified for. I have applied for a couple of things that sound really cool, but have yet to hear back from anyone, which is frustrating too. Uggh. I just don’t really know what to do with myself. I don’t like this feeling at all. Mike has been super-supportive, which is great. He keeps asking me what I would do if I didn;t need money and could do anything I wanted to do. The problem is I have no idea. I’m not sure I want to continue doing what I have done for the last decade, but if I don’t, that leaves me with no experience in anything else. I’m frustrated and unsure and losing confidence in myself. Oh, and I am also bored to tears, which doesn;t help either.

   Yes, I’ve given that some thought too. I am still not sure what I want to do though. What would I study? Any suggestions?
