Honestly, If I were going to be translator, I should have done this years and years ago. I can speak 5 languages (let me clarify that). I can get by in 5 languages. Like if I had to go to the store, or if I meet someone, no problem, I can have a short conversation in spanish, I can have a longer conversation in italian, with a smattering of german and other languages thrown in.

But to actually be a translator, you have to be a lot better than my abilities.
Now if I was 25 again, (and my brain functioned perfectly with a perfectly good memory and the ability to learn), well, THAT'S WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE YEARS AGO!!! I was very lazy back then and just stood where I was.

I was an excellent employee but I didn't have the motivation to better myself. I was also morbidly obese.

But now at my age, I reversed the obesity, and of course I can still type, but my brain, well, forget about my brain. I don't remember anything. It's disgusting. I CAN remember anything from over 35 years ago. All dialogue from movies, tv shows, conversations I had. It's like I can close my eyes and I can reproduce any conversation or thing I saw or heard from when I was younger. All that changed when I hit 50.

Now, I'm lucky if I remember where I put the milk in the morning.
A lot of this has to do with stress and what we went through with my son.

I know this. But... I'll get there.

Now this morning, I woke up completely stiff. I just rubbed blue stuff all over me. I'm going to Dunkin Donuts to meet up with Alan as he comes home from work. Then we'll go home, he'll go to bed for 7 hours, and I'll clean the house.

I really have to get a life. I've been taking care of him for 5 years.

Got to start making money again.

Thank God, Alan can feed himself and make simple stuff in the kitchen.

He refused to learn even that for a long time.

How did he learn? I refused to make him breakfast and lunch.

So he learned to pour cereal and make himself tea.

Hey, it's a start!!!

Thanks guys.

Will let you know if I get that super job I always wanted.

take care,
Melody
