xansSo, I've spent the last week feeling kinda lost. I'm mostly got a routine down to keep up on housework. School has started back up for the term and things seem to be going smoothly for kiddo. I finished the book series I was rereading, steuggled to find a new one to commit to, and I found my games were kind of boring me.
I need a project.
Two things I should do is seriously look into a part-time job, and driving lessons. I've been putting it off for years and years, because ughhhh anxiety, and it is holding me back, really. Someone give me the motivation to get it done.
Then yesterday I also kind of stumbled into a short term project. A promotional email from a local company showed me they are going to hold an event at a nearby venue next school holidays. Last year, they even has a special sensory session which had been great to take kiddo along to. But when I looked at their page, there did not appear to be a repeat of that happening. So, I reached out and asked.
Turns out, last year's event had only sold 9 tickets, which was not nearly enough to cover the cost of the venue and staff. So, totally valid that they're leery of doing that again. But they said to me if they ran it for only an hour on one day and limited it to 30 tickets, they might be able to do it again. But, need to know that those numbers of definite sales are out there.
So, I might make some enquiries on the community page, and failing that, it might be too short notice for this year, but seeing if any businesses or organisations might sponsor a future event might be somethjng to look into. I have never done that before, but there's an organisation that occasionally sends me invites for sponsored events forfamilies with special needs children, so I might ask them how those are brought together.
