Paelthom says Hello Again

Hi All,
My name is paelthom (Pat) and I joined FV way back when, several years ago. Since then, I've moved and changed jobs a couple of times. I currently live in Chatham, VA with 3 cats and my 17 year old dd. Right now money is tight - same as with most folks. My dd resists every effort to scale back and be more frugal so it's a struggle some days. She graduated school early but hasn't decided what to do with herself yet. I am single and have decided that it's a preferred way to be at the moment. I love gardening in my tiny yard (mostly flowers), I love to read, I do a bit of holistic health work - mainly Reiki and aromatherapy. I love to eat especially if someone else cooks. I am an administrative assistant for the local government and I work a full 40 hours a week. I have returned to FV for all the good advice and helpful tips that I enjoyed previously and need to be reminded of again.
