Slowly changing everything

It's been a little over 2 weeks since quitting my job and sooo much has changed. I've started, for lack of a better word, homesteading. I've also started to pare down the clutter of my house. I'm going through everything and getting rid of stuff I can't use by donating them. I'm also going to make use of the things that I have. I'm finally starting to use the fabric that I have. Found a great pattern for an easy handbag to make for selling. My sister informed me of a consignment store where they take handmade goods.

Mostly what I've been doing is finding the best way for me to stay home while still being able to provide additional income to help with bills. I've decided to work for a temp agency a few days a week. That will ensure that I can be home at least a few days a week, but I'm also able to do what is needful at home as well. It's flexible work and I won't get bored or frustrated.

I had my first adventure in canning today. Here's hoping it will go well. The blue strawberry jam looks great. We'll see if it sets.

It's late and I need sleep. Have a full day tomorrow.
