"Woman With Her Hands Full"



















Many of you have seen this pastel, gouache, and watercolor image several times since 2006 when my blog was called "Old Girl of the North Country."  Today I am remembering again that I painted it around the time I began working as a medical transcriptionist in 1984. Now, more than thirty years later, it is on my wall where I can see it if I look up from my laptop as I work as a self-employed medical transcription editor.

It's such a beautiful work of art. I remember it from "Old Girl of the North Country." Glad to see it again.

So let's hope you will have your hands full with intersting and decently paid work.

Nick, robin andrea, and Sabine -- Thank you for your comments. I love doing the transcription work I have done for so many years. As a self-employed person, I am currently making less per hour than I made in 1984. I'm not even making minimum wage, but each day I am learning more about this particular hospital account. Eventually I will have a modest income. That's all I need.
