As most of you all know, I am a care giver for my father during the day. At night, I turn into a zombie Telecommuter. I need to make money some how. That’s when I came up with the idea of working from home 3+ years ago, performing virtual jobs for people.
I have a lot of experience working as a freelance virtual professional, but I need a couple new clients to earn a bit more money to make ends meet, and to help my youngest son, who is having a real hard time with life lately. He needs to get a regular job – easier said than done these days, even for people who have a lot of work experience, and education. My son has just enough knowledge to get into trouble. He catches on quick, but he is not a perfectionist at his job. If you want to keep your job, it is very important to show how much you appreciate your job by doing a good job. You may get a raise, or move up the chain of command. Rule #2: Do not quit your job unless you have a new job to start the very next day.
My life is becoming extremely out of control. There is only one of me, and currently there are way too many other things that I have become responsible for without any prior knowledge or discussion. The tasks include difficult life decisions that affect my father and me. There are many time I do not feel like dealing with all the details. Then who will do it? Who will do this for me, when can I start living my own life. I rather take my father places that he would enjoy, instead we are going to specialists located hours from home, or 12 week courses that will, hopefully, teach my father some tips on how to be more independent. I feel the need to go so I can take notes and make sure he is not confused while we should be learning – things like that. My endurance is not what is used to be.
For all of you who deal with what I am talking about in this blob, may I send you baskets of hope, strength, endurance, and love, along with a really great website that offers an abundance of information regarding taking care of the elderly. The name of website is Eldercare ABC News & Views – http://eldercareabcblog.com/
Until we blog again…. ~~Think Clear~~
