Student appears to be a "no show". It's just difficult to say so I can't get started on any longer projects. It sucks to have to be doing so much paperwork to apply for jobs again. I guess my decision is to:
1. Fill out sub apps, tutor apps, and temp agency apps- mostly by the end of May and devote one break each week minimum to this process. It takes forever.
2. If I somehow see an excellent job opportunity, I apply for it and take it if it comes through. I don't want to leave here, but I can't be sure this school will survive with staff other than family. I can't take that much of a chance. Luckily, I could get unemployment so I'm willing to try to ride it out as it would be nice to have that recovery day for a year, but gas prices are so high I can't go alone often - would have to post to various places to find buddies.
3. My preference would be to get enough students to tutor Mon-Wed so that I wouldn't have to be tied down for the weekend. If I can earn at least half what I lost + start saving, it will help. I really don't want to sub. Temp office work might not be bad just so I can update that type of experience.
4. Every time I think I can fund the IRA, something happens. I guess I just have to hope and pray that Social Security comes through or that the house would sell before I was really off the deep end or that there will still be some money left through dad that I can have by retirement time.
5. For now, my priority has to be paying off the credit card debt and trying not to use the card at all anymore is the best way to do that. Any extra money goes to savings and maybe $200 to IRA.
6. Gotta keep hoping kids can soon be self supporting.
7. Wish I could pay for Keisuke to scuba dive. I would like him to have some active hobby, but it's super expensive so it's something he'd have to work for himself. I need to ask him again about the tutoring once he gets back from Orcas. He's in such a good mood now and willing to do work at Orcas so I hate to push anything unless I'm sure the meds are helping, and he won't go off the deep end again.
8. Wish Kiku would just call to chat. I can't even get ahold of her anymore.
