Working
I work 2 days a week at a large flea market. I do online auctioning. I had to give up my job as a substitute teacher in 2001 due to problems with fibromyalgia. My depth perception on stairs is starting to get bad and I had to use steps at the high school.

of time with my auctioning. I do not have time for much else right now.
