Today I found out that my mother-in-law has been telling people that I’ve been unemployed for over a year. I was laid off a year ago, got my business license and started a small handmade business that has been growing steadily, yet slowly. I sell my products in six local/regional shops and at a farmer’s market. Not that I should care much, but if I did, how could I get her to see that I am in fact, working? And working harder than I ever have before at that.
