Where did 2010 go? [Aug. 24th, 2010|05:11 am]
[ Mood | chipper]

It's a hot summer but I smell fall just around the corner. Is it too early for fall and holiday vacation plans? Not is you want to reserve the best petsitter around!

Summer Plans? [Apr. 8th, 2009|09:21 am]

My 2009 petsitting calendar is starting to fill up with weekend trips and week-long beach vacations. It's never too early to reserve your petsitter.

More info at my site.

Job Wanted [Jun. 28th, 2008|03:45 pm]
[ Mood | creative]

What a year 2008 is so far. And not in the good way. House cleaning is out because of my back. Long distance petsitting is out because of the gas prices. Same for commuting to the big city for work.

I'm open and available for any home office type work: Transcription, bookkeeping, HR, correspondence; document QA, editing, and proofreading; website creation and maintenance; etc.

And if I had the money I'd have a conceal carry license.

Quoting Tucker’s Blackstone on the 2d Amt:

“This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty . . . . The right to self-defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine the right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.”

From this week's Supreme Court decision.

Why would a nice girl like me want a gun? Watch the news any night on any station and see how many women are robbed, raped, and murdered every. single. day.

Three days in the hospital [Apr. 13th, 2008|10:54 am]
[ Location |where middle age meets crisis]
[ Mood | depressed]

on morphine that doesn't stop the pain makes you try to figure out what you're doing wrong. The intense physical pain, feels like you're being punished for something you did. 

I already quit the housecleaning jobs... now I'm feeling unsure about the petsitting jobs. So no new clients... in April... when people are making their summer vacation plans...

Back surgery at 43? This can't be my life, can it?

So.... job ideas for someone bedridden and on narcotics... anyone?... Bueller?

Not Accepting Cleaning Clients [Feb. 24th, 2008|03:49 pm]

People are calling for housecleaning, having picked up my business card around town. I'm sorry to say that I am no longer taking new Cleaning clients. Only petsitting and computer consults.

My website now reflects this. Guess I need new business cards!

The Tarot Goddess is IN as well at www.tarotgoddess.net.

What’s going on with Melissa [Feb. 5th, 2008|08:41 am]
[ Mood | cranky]

The presentation at Sectus.org in London went very well. I had a fabulous visit with Tina in Denmark. I'm hoping she comes to Minnesota this fall, so I can see her again.

Got a raise, bonuses, and more hours with www.mellowmarshfarm.com though I'm still working part time for them. Petsitting is going well. My regular clients keep taking lots of trips each year. :-)

The tarot never has panned out like I'd hoped it would. Oddly enough I'm making fake money with it in the fake world of www.secondlife.com This fake money can be converted to real money however. I am Tarot Writer in SL.

Dr. Ryan Fox of Chapel Hill Chiropractic finally got it how much pain I'm in and sent me for an MRI yesterday. I hope to get them read this week or next.


TMI about my health )

EDIT 2/20/08 And now more tl;dr about my back. )

Can I just say I've been blessed with cute doctors?

4 jobs... no wait, 5! ... 6? [Dec. 1st, 2007|10:18 am]

I work at Mellow Marsh Farm  six miles from my home,

the Animal Protection Society of Orange County 30 miles from my home,

and do petsitting and house cleaning.

That's 4 jobs, but I also do some computer tech support and HTML for people, so that's 5. Then there is the occasional tarot reading. But what I'd really like to do is write fiction!

:-)  

And then of course there's the animal rescue in my spare time. Oi! Another journal I need to move over to IJ! And to update with Sylvester's ongoing saga as well as my latest addition, Kingsley!

BUT I NEED THE PICS FROM IMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
