Still Hanging AroundFor those of you who have continued to visit here first, I want to assure you I am still hanging around. I have appreciated your support of my photography site,and I have decided to write a little more here on a more persoanl level as always.I may not write as often since the other blog will take some of my time. Photographs may show up on the album as a way to decorate more than anything,you will still have to visit my photography site or flickr to keep up with them.
To Lisa,Hey you talked me back into reworking my site.
To Shiela,I had to visit anyway to find your shoes,so why not come back. Besides I have missed having a place to vent.LOL
To Barb,Well if you could come back,why not. Your are the inspiration for the changes around here.I remembered that brown was the new black and decided I didn't want to look at the same walls here as I do over at blogspot.LOL
Everyone else,thanks for following me,and I hope you will continue to enjoy both sites.

That all said,What's up?
Well I am still waiting to hear about the first job interview a couple weeks ago. I tried to call them the other day,but she was away so I left a message.No return call. The job is still posted so I hope it is that they are still conducting interviews and I may still hear from them.
I had a second interview for a medical records nurse,but the job doesn't seem like a good fit,and I don't feel optomistic about it anyway. Since it is at a nursing home there would be an expectation to cover the floor if needed,and I know full well how often that might occur. I can walk longer distances,but stooping and bending,lifting objects is really bad,The pain it would cause me would be more than I could safely handle on more ways than one.
I continue to put in multiple resumes,and have expanded my search to photography studio sales like school and church photos,as well as anything I see that might be out of the rhelm I have worked in before.
I am getting very worried,I have less than a full month of benefits left and there doesn't seem to be an extension in the works. I appeal to you to have me in your prayers. We cannot get by on less than what we have currently coming in,I am already in the pay only the bills necessary to life mode. The phone rings constantly.My niece is really good at taking phone triage. She has an abrupt manner and puts them off easily.LOL
Hubby has been more patient than I could have ever expected,but he is getting anxious the longer this goes on,He wants to change jobs and has stayed mainly for the insurance . Due to high cobra payments being impossible he has hoped I would get a job wit benefits to take over while he makes a change. He is not going to keep waiting long though,since he is despirately unhappy where he is. Us woman joke that He is also suffering from the mythical male menopause this last year, He isn't happy with anything and has made some major changes in lifestyle choices. This only adds to my stress. I want to just calm down and accept the new ...Hmmm Improved???? Hubby ,but as long as our financial future lays in uncertain territory it is hard for me to accept it all. I am only reminded that all of this was due to my own doing,however accidental it may have been.
My niece is entering her last month of pregnancy,and her nesting mode has kicked in. She has the bassinet all organized all the baby clothes and blankies she has gotten all washed in Dreft and folded neatly away.She is agonizing over what to bring to the hospital. She wants a pretty little dress to go home in,and the one she likes best is a 3-6 mo. LOL She insists she wants the baby to wear her own clothes in hospital,She will not listen to anyone about this. I have told her to let the hospital clothes get soiled from blood draws and the like,so her stuff doesn't get ruined. I think for her the baby is like a new doll,she can't wait to dress her up.LOL
Things have changed over the years,these days the whole family sits at the hospital awaiting th birth.For my other nieces baby there was such a crowd. This seems so wrong to me, that I have chosen so far to sit at home and await my turn.
Physically I have been doing better. I have lost 30 lbs ,soon when summer has left for good I will need to get rid of these crop pants,they fall down with the wieght of my cell pnone or change in my pocket.lOl
I can walk through the store now without sitting and have done so without my tens on occasion and it wasn't so bad. I even have taken a walk to the bridge and back with the dogs without it,only needing to sit badly about the time I reach the paths end in my yard. With the tens unit I have even been able to tolerate outings that involve alot of walking. Of course I have to be careful to plan for these outings so I won't overdo the day before,and I usually need a day recouperation afterward.
This is not to say I don't still have my bad days,and sometimes the pain is more than I can stand. I have been having discomfort and numbness in my Rt. leg when sitting too much at the computer.I even have been forced to lay down when it gets overbearing.Thankfully the new medication I have been on has made these symptoms less often,and have made it possible for me to sleep longer than 5 hrs before chased from my bed in horrible pain.One canot fully appreciate how much better you feel after a good solid 7-8 hrs sleep till you can't get it for a couple of years. Now that I can stay in bed a full night I awake much more alert and have even given up the nap cycle I had gotten into so badly a few months ago.
Now to usher in the fall weather and enjoy more outdoor activity while I can before the winter sets in. Hopefully on weekends because I have a job to go to during the week.LOL
