Missing in Action

Sorry I have been a bit scarce around these parts lately. As I am between jobs at the moment, I thought I would take the opportunity to take a free 3 week class at my local community college to better my skills as an employee. The course is called WorkReady NH and it focuses on developing soft skills such as communication. It also gives you the opportunity to receive a National Career Readiness Certificate that shows your skills in Reading, Mathematics, and Locating Information. Both of these programs are designed to boost your resume.

The class takes up much of my day between the actual classroom hours and the minimum 5 hours I have to spend online a week preparing for the Certificate test at the end of the course.

In my now-limited spare time I am trying to restart my Hobo Cat Creations Etsy Store. I will be branching out from the cat toys I started with and including polymer clay figurines and hopefully Breyer and Schleich model horse tack and accessories. There is a good chance I may get to participate in my first craft show in June, so I definitely need to build up an inventory.

I have a couple blog entries in the works about getting "stuff" for free, and about life in the mobile home after a year and the improvements that we have made.

Stay tuned....class ends on the 27th so hopefully things will be back to normal and I will be back to having too much free time!
