Looking for work

I'm still looking for real work from home jobs. I'm not looking for a business, or get rich quick. I want a job that requires actual work. I am looking for something to get us through the next couple months, and then be able to use that money to pay for medical transcripion course. I would like to be doing transcription work by next winter.
I have applied for scholarships that are available for course work at home. I haven't gotten anything.
I'm also making christmas presents for this year to help save money. I am teaching myself to knit at this time. Adding this to already crocheting, I should be able to make quite a bit for christmas.
Well that's it for today. I'm still waiting on my computer to get back from being repaired.

It's been awhile

I know it's been awhile since I posted anything. My laptop is in the shop, and my daughters computer is very slow. I hate using this thing, but I felt I needed to post something today.I'm still searching for more things to do at home, but without my computer it's not easy. I have applied for a few outside jobs to get us by. We need some income coming in.
I received an email today from a friend about a job. I'm waiting to hear back from her. It's a contracted position, that will only involve a couple hours a day. I would rather do that than have to go into a nursing home for 12 hours a night.
I have also been working on a couple projects. I'm making my Easter dress for this year, as well as crocheting most of christmas. I've been learning new techniques, and pla teach myself to knit.
Anyway, I'll post more when I get my computer back. Until I get it back I can't really do much from home.

Tax returns

I am still have trouble finding profitable work from home jobs. I am going to take a tax preparation course. I hope to get hired by the company I'm taking the course through. I have the day off tomorrow so I'm going to o some searching again. Too bad that searching for work doesn't pay. I would be rich if it did. I believe that after I finish this course and do some work I will have some new marketable skills.
I'm also looking for any work that I can do around the insurance exams. Something that I can save the money back to pay for medical transcription course. With my medical background I would already have some skills for this.
I know this is short, but I've been sick today, and just don't feel up to typing much.

mystery shopper

This new year I hope to find something to actually make a living at. I spent about an hour yesterday signing up to be a mystery shopper. I'm believing God is going to point me in the right direction.
I would really like to go to school for medical transcription. I think I would do well with this as I have a medical background. Blogging has helped with my typing skills. I have researched several schools, just not sure which way to go. I would really like to go with career steps, but I don't have the money for it. I also can't get grants or scholarships, as it's an online course.
Anyway, I'm looking for more things online to do. I really don't want to go to a nursing home to work. I'm also searching for ways to get my blogs noticed, maybe then I can start making money with them.
Hope everyone had a great new years, and you get all you hope for in the new year. I'm trusting God to give me what I need.
