Hey, Miss J!

I wish I’d bought more Hubba Bubba.

It’s so good!

Since I stress chew, it’s a good way to keep me off the nosh.

I’ve now had two days of cooking, back-to-back, which is wild.

On Sunday, I made Italian bread and fresh pizza dough. When my friend came over, we made pizzas with the dough. Today, I cooked breakfast, which was unfortunately late in the day.

I didn’t cook dinner, but currently I’m waiting for a project to be half completed.

I’ve begun making my own cheese. It smelled just like the mac and cheese my grandma used to make. Minus the Mac, of course.

So, I just have to wait till it finishes straining through the cheesecloths.

In the morning or the day after, I’ll whip up some ricotta cheese with the whey left behind.

Since I still have no income, I’ve been looking at ways to potentially earn some funds.

I have low energy and no ability to stay up for long and be of any real use in a traditional job setting.

What I have are my interests and my hands.

With hobbies, I can set my own hours.

A friend told me she can help me get into jewelry making. I told her how much I wish I had a kiln, because I like pottery and wanted to try to make ceramics.

I live in an area where I can’t easily build a small fire in the middle of my driveway without someone saying something. People here are so very chatty and not for the right reasons.

And kilns online are in the hundreds to thousands range. So, I found myself looking into oven baked polymers that could be used to make so many different things.

She told me I could look into beads and glass, and I told her that I really liked that. I was also looking into woodcarving. I’m worried I’ll make something I’ll get attached to though.

I also wanted to try to make soaps.

One interest at a time though.

I think next week, I’ll buy some of that polymer clay to test it out and see if I can make something tiny and adorable.

I was in bed for a very long time today, between waking, breakfast and dinner. So, I’ll be up for some time tonight. I have 1.25 assignments to complete.

Let’s see what I can pound out of myself tonight…
