I worked for the past 8 days straight and I'm worn out! I recently started a new "part time" position that is more related to my psychology background. I am loving the job, but due to the unpredictable nature of "on call" the job has hardly been part time! I can't go into too much detail about the position due to confidentiality conditions, but I am working with at-risk youth and finding the work to be challenging and really interesting. I will be glad to get to the point when I have learned the many details of the job, because for now there are been many days that I leave with a headache from concentrating so hard.
I am so excited to be cultivating my creative side with Etsy while also nourishing my psychology/social service interests with this new job. I have the next couple of days off and am looking forward to working on Etsy orders, updating my shop, and catching up with my roommates and friends.

Just discovered your shop and blog today. I also sell jewelry on Etsy. (lorelei1141.etsy.com)
It's a nice balance isn't it, to have a day job that uses one side of the brain and then a creative "job/hobby" that uses the other side!?
I work in an art museum and tend to do a lot of computer work, paperwork, organizational stuff.
Anyway, I'll be linking your blog to mine in my favorites list. :)
You have the right idea with your blog, and I can agree with your '8 days a week' it does happen that way sometimes. Your jewelry is great, keep going. And your goals are lofty but admirable, your life's work goals. Sometimes after a day spent doing things that apparently vanish when the computer is turned off, it's nice to do something creative that stays and you can wear the next day, too!
