What would you do?

What would you do if the power suddenly turned off forever? 
No more cell phones, land lines, GPS, computers, internet, batteries, credit cards, cameras, TVs, or cars. 
Would you freak out? 
Would you try and get to the store and get what food and supplies you could? 
Or would you just hunker down in your house and wait to see what happens? 
Would you start your own garden if you cold?
Try trading/bartering instead of using the worthless paper we called money? 
Would you build a carriage or wagon and find a horse to pull it to get you places? 
Would you actually sit down and read a book or go outside and enjoy the sunshine? 
Would you ponder all the things that you used to do that seem silly now because it doesn't matter since no one can see your selfies, comments, or stupid videos you made?
Would you actually meet your neighbors and have long conversations with them? 
Would you throw out all the things that you couldn't use anymore and thought you needed when the power was on? 
Would you actually write a letter to a friend or family member? 
Would you and friends or family put on skits for each other or read stories out loud to one another to bide the time and have fun doing it?
Would you eat healthier since there wouldn't be anymore processed foods?
Would you go on long walks?
Look at a real map that is on paper and not GPS?
Would you actually do hard labor to help your family out?
Sit at the table together for every meal?
Parents actually teaching their children and not someone else?
Children doing chores because what else are they going to do with no phone?
Would we all become closer as a community and Country and World without power?
Would we become Amish?

Just a thought that came to mind....I think I have been watching Revolution to much. I love that show because it would be nice to go back to the days without electricity and actually live and see things instead of our eyes glued to our phones and computers. What do you think you would do if the electricity went off permanently??

Not Working...But Working

I have applied to almost 20 places and have only been offered one job. I was going to accept that job but the more I thought about it the more I didn't want to work there. I also knew it wasn't something I wanted to do even if it was a stepping stone to the job I wanted but, I don't think being a Juvenile Detention Guard for a year would have made me happy. Yes it would have still been a job and I would be at training now if i had continued with it but it's not the job I want. I am not settling, even if it's short term. I want what I want and I plan to get what I want no matter what or how long it takes.

On the up side, I have been doing a few more massages. I like doing massages but it's not the job I want to retire doing. One, because there is not retirement for it. Two, no benefits like a company has. And Three, it is not the job I have been wanting to do since I was in the 7th grade. Yes, I am good a massages and can make good money doing it so I am working on getting a website built and hoping to also do odd jobs while still working towards my goal of working in the Criminal Justice Department. Even after I get the job I want I still plan to do massages part time. I have a small clientele right now but they are a good clientele and I am enjoying them. My massages are good and inexpensive so that everyone can afford to get one. So please spread the word about my massages and get one for yourself too. My email is magicfingersmassage78@yahoo.com

Now I just need to get a massage for myself. It's hard finding another therapist to trade with or finding time to trade period. Also if I don't trade and I have to pay to get one I usually don't have the money. But I am doing ok otherwise.

I have put my faith in God more than once in my life to get me through hard times like these and he always pulls me out or supplies what I need. I am very thankful for/to Him. I am not a religious person, meaning I don't go to church or talk about God much but that doesn't mean i don't pray or believe in him. He has shown me His love and giving nature more times than I can probably remember right now but he has always been there for me no matter what. Just wanted to share that since I don't say it in public or at all to anyone. God is Great!!  Now if he would just let me win the lottery.....LOL.

I signed up for Care.com in hopes that I can get some odd jobs that are part time and short lived. I like that sort of thing. I like working but not a lot. As most people feel that way. So if you need someone to do your grocery shopping, laundry, dishes, or other simple things like that I am up for higher.

Maybe I should get back to writing the books I started a long time ago. One I almost got published but because of computer issues I haven't finished it and need to resubmit it. I think submitting a finished book is better than submitting just a chapter. So many things I could do that I should just do them and not worry about this Criminal Justice job. I have been thinking about that the last few days. Just stick with massage and odd jobs and work on my two books. I could make a living off that as long as i can stay at my parents house and cook for them. LOL. OR marry a rich man. Not likely since I don't want to get married. Maybe a sugar daddy??? LOL just kidding. I just need to win the lottery. Or at least part of it...get 4 numbers or even 5 correct and you get a big chunk of change...crossing fingers.

I do want to foster kids someday and heard if i do it right I could have the government pay for a house for me and I can take in kids that way. Hmmmm.....need to look into that too. I have so many things I want to do...I am telling you I just need to get out and do them. I need to try and figure out how to get over those hurdles that get in my way and push forward.

It sucks not having money but knowing that I can get money by doing different things and not doing them is even worse. I'll get there eventually.

All right enough of my ramblings....have a great week and don't let yourself hold you back!!!
