Goodbye, Jo

My good friend I met in South Korea is dying, or is maybe dead as I type this. She has been very ill for a few years now. She was supposed to have died 4 years ago. Yet she has held on this long. She has been mostly house-bound. Her aides just found 21 pain patches on her. A neighbor texted me. She said they are doing end of life care because it looks like she has brain damage. It is just as well that she goes. She has been suffering enough. 

Starting All Over

For what it's worth...it's never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you're not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again. F. Scott Fitzgerald. 

I am Frustrated

I have been looking for work. I was working at Kmart until it closed on July 31. I was there for 2 months for their closing sale. I am glad I had that job because I needed the money. I liked the people there, it was a nice group of people. I hated to leave because I liked working there. Yet I was also happy for it to be over because it was hectic over the last few weeks. I did some temporary work for a while. It was OK. I had to stop doing my position due to a college class I am taking 2 afternoons a week. I am hoping to find something else soon.
