Sister's Surgery and One of My Ideas

Yesterday I went in to work for a couple of hours in the morning. It was so nice to see everybody, and the visit made me feel very good. So many people came and talked to me and told me I was looking great! Since I really feel great, it made me feel good that other people noticed.

Just before lunch, I left to take my sister to the hospital. She had to have spinal surgery yesterday afternoon. She had herniated disks in her neck and had to have her C5 and C6 fused together. They were running behind schedule, so it was late afternoon by the time they got her in the O.R. Thankfully, everything went so well and they successfully fused the vertebrae together without damage to the spinal cord. I had decided to stay the night in the hospital with her so she wouldn't be alone. I'm glad I stayed as she ended up having nausea and a horrible sinus headache. I did what I could to keep her comfortable until the medicine could take effect. She is home now and feeling so much better, including no pain in her shoulder and arm, which she was having before the surgery. Yea!!!

I've been brainstorming that last few days about other ways to raise more money for the adoption fees, so I've been researching ways to make money at home. One idea I have is to be an independent consultant for jewelry sales. This is along the lines of being a consultant for Mary Kay, Lia Sophia, or Avon. Since I love jewelry so much, I thought it might be a fun way to raise money while consulting at home parties or for catalog sales. I found one company that I'm impressed with, Just Jewelry, and wonder if it is a good option for me. There is, of course, an investment fee for $118 to $199 to pay for supplies and jewelry, but I wonder if I'll be able to make the money back quickly. The things I like about this company are they raise money for nourishment for children in famine stricken areas, breast cancer awareness, and autism awareness and the jewelry is all under $38. I'm still thinking about it and discussing it with Chris. I know God will help us find ways to make this work.
