I can feel a change a brewin'

I have been deliberating on what type of business to open and I think I've decided on a craft/fabric store.

The Harbor hasn't had one in a long time and I posed a question on the Planning Aberdeen Committee and craft store was mentioned by a couple of ppl.  I can get into that and it's pretty far away from Technology. 

I have a lunch date to speak to a really good friend on Monday to talk about how he came to the decision he was going to open a business rather than just find another pastoring job. 

I think it will give me some much needed information and he's a good guy.  He is so sincere whenever he speaks I know I can trust him.

I'm really looking forward to this.  This is going to be a good change

Thoughts and stuff

I have been thinking about my situation.  I'm seriously considering opening my own business.  I have no clue as to what type of business I'm going to open but I thought maybe a craft store.  We don't have one in town and the closest one is in Elma.  I'm not sure that this town could support a craft store tho.  Michaels Crafts came in and went out within 5 years.  But Walmart had a huge hand in that.  They expanded their craft section when Michaels' came in and as soon as they left they decreased the size by more than 75%.

I want to stay as far away from technology as I can.  I'm burned out on computers.  I burned out on working on them. I'm burned out of dealing with their owners.  I want to get away from them.  I very rarely use one at home anymore.

Still deliberating.

Nothing New

Well, I went home last night after a long grueling day at work and went to sleep.  I slept for a few hours on the couch then I went upstairs and went to bed for the evening.  That's what I tend to do when I'm depressed.  I am seriously at odds with my situation.  I hate the fact I have to keep working at a job that I hate and that my husband doesn't work at all.

I can feel a change coming.

40 and no where to go

I turned 40 in November of last year.  I had always thought that by 40 I would have a list of accomplishments under my belt.  That is sooo not the case. 

I'm a computer technician and I teach part time for the local college.  I really enjoy the teachine and sincerely wish I could do that full time.  I'm a little burned out on the computer tech stuff and I absolutely H A T E customer service/retail.  I've been in retail since I was 16 and I just want out or at the very least I want out of an environment where all my hard work goes to make someone else more money that I get.  I don't think I would feel this way about retail if I were working for myself.

I'm SERIOUSLY considering a Career Change. 

A few of the things I'm good at:

     Computers
     Teaching
     Crocheting (Hobby)
     Cooking

I have toyed with idea of starting my own Computer store but I'm not sure that I want to continue with computers solely. 

I'm so confused.  I guess this would be my equivalent to a Mid-Life Crisis.  I just want to go to bed and stay there for a week.
