Here it is two months later, and first I still have no niche and I have no blog, it seemed to die in the water. I have still been looking at affiliate programs, but they want something up and running. This is not it.
So, she can sew
The last couple weeks I have been working on sewing some bags for a friend. I designed these bags after watching a video a couple years back, and making some minor changes. They are so cute and useful for traveling. I use them to keep clean socks, bras and underwear. I usually just throw these items in the little mesh pocket located inside the suitcase.
NOLA or bust
Also, the biggest change is that my son accepted a job in New Orleans, with the same company. He came back to North Carolina for the weekend before he was to start and we loaded up a U-Haul and drove off to NOLA. This was the most stressful week of my life, ever. Nothing seemed to go right. He had no electricity in his new apartment, so we stayed at the most awful AirBnb ever. I don’t know how he stayed there for 55 days during his internship.
After moving all his stuff up 5 flights of stairs (yeah no elevator), I was able to take one day to see the city before running back to NC to go back to work. I woke up the next morning to my phone vibrating and it was him saying he had slept in his car (because he still had no electricity) and someone stole his wallet. This was August 19, 2021.
When Ida hit New Orleans, my son still had not slept a night in his apartment. The building owner had put him up in a nice AirBnb in the building next door, and his job had a room upstairs for visiting VIP’s. On the Friday before Ida hit landfall, my son packed up his computer, birds and dirty clothes and made it back to North Carolina.
Yesterday, he finally found out he had lost everything because Ida had almost taken the roof off his apartment building. We were both devastated. He has applied for a FEMA grant but that will not replace his things that were irreplaceable.
