Hi everyone,
I am doing ok here. A little lonely. I don't know anyone here yet and have not gone out to coffee shops or bars/restaurants as I am on a really tight budget, but I do enjoy being back in nature and out of the concrete and traffic of SoCal. Went to the Redwood Community Forest today and hugged the trees.
Travelaround..I am in the Arcata , so not far. Hope you are well and maybe meet one day.
Maki2...I keep thinking I would like a little trailer to pull, but at this point I would have no place to park it when not in use and the vandals and thieves are relentless. If I decide to sell the Element one day I will get a big van.
I am hoping my health continues to improve and be able to earn money. It is so hard living on social security. I am looking into on line jobs but there are so many scams and sometimes I am in so much pain or have incredible fatigue that thinking/learning something new, is hard.
I have my sewing machine set up but not feeling very creative at the moment. I am trying to learn how to make the embroidery iron on patches. I have a design of a VW bus I will try. I would need to get and learn the proper software to design my own, but there are services that make the file for you to upload to the machine. Maybe come up with some cool designs that I can sell, like an Element or Van, travel/nomad thing.
I have been researching items that sell well on etsy, etc so maybe something will be a good income stream. Kids stuff sells well, like Tu tu's and applicait t shirts. Will try book marks, key chains and patches first. Need supplies$$$
My food stamps increased to $160 now that I pay rent so I am very thankful to have more food.
The system is so broken. When i didn't pay for rent (vandwelling, homeless, traveling, staying at my friends) my food stamps were only $30 a month.
I wish you all well and be safe.
Dee
