List five things you do for fun. On this Friday, I’m thinking about fun things to do to relieve the stress of unemployment. My fun five aren’t necessarily for the Texas environment but for colder climates especially in the summer months. Biking. Road bike on paved trails. Have an older Raleigh Technium 12 speed touringContinue reading “My Fun Five for Friday”

Thursday, January 22nd
Today, I finally applied for unemployment which is a great relief. Still learning the Texas prompts to get payment and to file job applications too. Last night, God placed it on my heart to contact my younger brother whom I haven’t had contact in years. He got mad at me more than 13 years agoContinue reading “Thursday, January 22nd”

If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be? The one thing that I could have Bella and Luna understand is that they are my world.

My Youngest Brother
Took a huge risk tonight and emailed with my younger brother whom I have not communicated in years. It felt awkward and was difficult.

In addition, I showed him pictures of my home paintedContinue reading “My Youngest Brother”

Being from up north, Texas does unemployment different than Michigan which I believe is to prevent fraud. Learned that I had to fill out a contact card online and mention the reason for the callback. They have up to 48 hours to return the call. If you pass, you get the invitation to apply forContinue reading “Texas Unemployment”

What’s your dream job? Part of the lyrics from Aerosmith’s song of, “Dream On,” that has encouraged millions of listeners over the years to take the leap from hobby to full time dream job.

Monday, when I would normally be going to work but not since losing my job after clocking out Friday night. Tomorrow, I contact Texas Workforce Commission to assistance with logging in to apply for unemployment.
