Needed: A shove in the right direction

[TracyofCotuit]

Help! 

My investments have taken a nose dive a couple of times in the past year, and I feel that I need to go back to work.

Problem 1: I don't want to; I like being retired. But my fear is that I should do something and fairly soon.

Problem 2:  I can't seem to focus on what I'm qualified for, aside from accounting which was my old career. (My memory is not what it was and I have dyslexia, so while I handled it well for years, I don't do as well now.) I don't want to go back to stress filled days. I've been happily retired for 5 years.

Remote work is an appealing idea.

Problem 3: I've created a new resume but I'm having trouble downloading it to different job sites. If I can't do that, how am I to convince any employer that I'd be the right fit for their posted position?

I've never been in this predicament before and realize that I need help to move forward. I need direction!
