I have some obstacles to find employment. I'm homeless, my car needs work to run again (still a great car, and I love that it's a manual), and I have a large dog.
I was a nanny for a long time, and have great references, which indicates important things about my character. I've worked with most animals at least a little. I used to ride a lot, but not so much in the last 20 years. I have forgotten an embarrassing amount, but you never forget how to interact with horses. I mucked a lot of manure to pay for my lessons.
Much of my situation occurred from betrayal, so it's a double whammy. I put our kid in private school for ten years, and once she became a teen, and started to have negative thoughts and emotions about me, my ex "rescued" her because I'm "mean". Really, she just wanted to go to public school, and has big feelings because she' a teen girl. She is now in a Seattle public school, which is very disturbing. Her dad pulled this crap because I never used the courts against him. Wa state family court is corrupt and disgusting, so I was more concerned about making sure he felt like I wouldn't do him like my mom did my dad, than I was about covering my butt. We managed for years to be civil, and I just didn't realize how much resentment he'd held onto. When he took her he literally asked if I recalled how smart, and Machiavellian he is, and that he had things lined up in case I tried to fight it. I was driving 400 miles round trip, sometimes twice a week, to get our daughter to him so they wouldn't miss time together when his car wasn't working, and he was plotting to remove me from our daughter's life. I ponder, shouldn't we do right, even if it hurts? Should I have stabbed him in the back preemptively to protect my future self? That past doesn't matter so much, but I reflect to have some idea of how to proceed in the future. I still don't think I have the answers.
I don't want to be rescued, and I don't expect men to do boyfriend things without there being a relationship or nookie (I remain single purposefully, and I don't hook up). I want solutions, and I want to be back on solid ground benefitting the community.
I earned my associates in welding and metal fabrication, but it's been a while since I've done it.
I pray something spectacular happens to you today!
