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.
