Need A Change

Hello Everyone: A quiet and warm start to my week. I made some adjustments to my resume and sent it off to the job coach for her thoughts. I feel like I'm stuck in this employment gray zone between under and over qualified. It's a kind of weird place to be and there doesn't seem to be a solid middle ground. I am putting more emphasis on finding work as a teacher's assistant. It's a beginning step toward my goal of being a fully credentialled teacher. It's an attainable goal but getting off the ground requires a little work but I'm willing to do what needs to be done. I just have to be persistant. Hopefully something will stick once the pandemic restrictions start to ease. It's hard to maintain a good attitude when everything around me is less than ideal. What's ideal for me? Good question. The best way I can answer that is waking up in the morning and looking forward to a purpose. That's the thing since mum passed away, I feel at loose ends. When mum was alive I knew I had to get up and prepare breakfast, fetch her from her room and bring her back after she finished. The carers would come at 9:00 a.m., and at that point, I could turn mum over to them for the day so I can get things done. Now, I've sort of settled into a routine for myself. It works but I'm getting really bored and want more to do. A paying job would go along way. It would give me a sense of real purpose and give me a reason to get out of the house for a while. I complained to the Brit BF that I really need to get out because, other than my daily run, I really don't go anywhere. The Business Center and local public library are still closed. There's no camping out at the local coffee places. I need to be in contact with other humans. I do that to some degree at the park but I need a little more. Oh well, I just have to keep at it.
