What do you do for a living?
Just curious, but what does everyone do for a living? I wonder how everone manages to do so many things in one day! I am exhausted when I get home from work and have no energy to do anything!
I work full-time as an Occupancy Specialist for a Housing Authority.

I work from home. I sell online - my own website, Amazon, and eBay. This is a process that has evolved over the last 6 years. My own website and Amazon only came into being early last year.

I sell a discontinued line of plasticware from S. C. Johnson. They are called Ziploc TableTops and were discontinued in 2003. I originally started off selling collectible glassware - mostly Anchor Hocking Fire-King. Then I lucked into the plasticware and it sort of snowballed.

I'm retired..... sort of. I was a teacher for many years: high school and college level. Started teaching in 1971. I retired two years ago, and now I teach 2 or 3 classes a semester for the local university. I've been there for about 20 years. I like part time; I get to sleep late and do other things. When I worked full time, I never could get it all done. Not that I get it all done now, but I'm closer!
Spiritual:
"You are fearfully and wonderfully made." Please... respect life.
Financial:
Debt free, hoping to stay that way!
MY BLOG: glorybug.wordpress.com
1. Keep on writing.
2. Get some balance in my life.
3. Lose weight. Hopefully 5# this year. (9.5 pounds right now! Yay, Me!!)
4. Continue to be looking for how God wants to use me this year.
