Economics: Want vs. Reality

WANT: Time to knit and crochet and sew and embroider ALL the things I want to do. And still be able to garden, walk the dog, pay my bills, do laundry, eat, and keep a roof over my head.

I suppose it means I'd like to be able to support myself with the crafting stuff.

REALITY: Ain't gonna happen. I'm not fast enough, and let's face it, I'm a touch too eccentric for most people.

But I can dream, can't I?

I had a dream...

...that my boss handed me half a dozen checks today. All for me.

So, am I thinking I'm getting a raise, or that I'm getting let go?
