I'm extraordinarily happy with even the few sales our etsy shop is making. I think it might be because I haven't actually earned money (a few $ here and there) in the last 11 years.
Mr. P jokingly asked me last night if I felt like a kept women. We laughed and I said that if I sat all day smoking my pipe, reading books on tape, and finishing toys, while he did all the food prep, laundry,scheduling, bill paying, managing the household inventory, and being a reader to the blind, and dealing with other disabilities, then I might feel like a kept woman.
I wasn't brought up to be this kind of woman. It's harder than I had thought.
With Mr. P confined to his smoking room all day, we don't often see each other until dinner. So after dinner has been OUR TIME. But last night, I was listing on etsy and doing market research. I think I'd better cut off the computer work at 5pm.
The local hospital had a computer program that required information about the spouse's employment and my options were "retired" or "unemployed." Once I said"reader to the blind",
but the clerk didn't buy it.
I found a painter from Manhattan, KS who obviously understands the beauty of Kansas. I really like this one. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9198447
P.S. The above link doesn't work anymore because Miriam is temporarily closed. You can see more of her work at www.juneblue.etsy.com, especially after the middle of Sept.
