  • Storys of my Demise have been Greaty Exaggerated

    LOL.... Yes I am still around. I do not really get time to write that much lately though. I usually spend my time trying to paint and do beading and read books and attempt ( ha ha ha ) to keep the mess in the house to a dull roar.

    I am enjoying work, I did transfer to a building that is more of a day hab. I work with those who have severe mental and physical handicaps. I love it. the one downside is it is very physical and in the beginning my back was killing me every single day. I am getting more used to it. I still have to be very careful and I use oils and creams to help my back warm up before work and recover over night.  I am so amazed at how fast my body has acclimated to it. My biggest probem is exhaustion, I cannot deny the fact that I am over 50 now and my diabetes takes its toll also . This year my arthritis really kicked in with a vengeance.. and thank God it seems like the warm weather is here because the aches are not nearly as bad as they were during the winter. Its a no win situation, I detest sweating LOL I detest arthritic pain ... which do I choose !!

    I love what I do .. I am overworked and underpaid and I have stepped into the work force of so many people and am feeling their pain. All of this has been such an eye opener to me  and I learning so much about everything.

    I had always been blessed with working with something I knew, so this is also different in it has been a huge lesson in learning a lot in a very small amount of time ..and also learning to be able to think on my feet faster than ever before.

    It has been a huge bowl full of all types of challenges ...just keeping my head above water to still be 'ME' has been one of the hardest things of all... but I am coping and am happy ...

    More to come

    Happy Weekend !! xcoxooxoxoxoxo
