Journal Entry for November 12, 2007 Mood
Monday, November 12, 2007

I am sooo tired!  My legs ache and my feet ache and my back aches.  This standing for 8 -9 hours a day at work is killing me physically.  I had yesterday and today off, and did very little.  I still ache so bad in my knees.  The time flies by working, but I am standing, and when I am not busy at the register, I am running clothes to different depts.  I wanted a job, and I sure got one!  I didn't know I would be getting close to 40 hours, though!  Oh, well, we need the money, so it will all work out.  I am still hoping for the clerical position with the Health Dept., so hopefully I can cut back my hrs. at JCPenneys.  I just requested time off for Cody's birthday (12/14).

Speaking of Cody and birthdays, he is going to be 18 on 12/14.  I need some ideas on what to do for his birthday.  It is hard, because we have so little family that is involved in his life.  I was going to ask his girlfriend, because he has lots of friends.  I wanted to make his 18th so special, just don't have a clue what to do!  Any ideas??? Thanks!

    So sorry to hear that you are hurting, hopefully you have gotten a decent pair of shoes to help with all that standing. Gosh, what to do for an 18th birthday? Maybe a surprise party with all his friends??? ((hugs))marica

    I know what you mean about having to stand on your feet for long periods of time. My only recommendation would be to invest in some easy spirits. They were real lifesavers to me when I worked in Old Navy. I used to have to ring register & stand about 8-9 hrs per day on my feet.
    Happy birthday to Cody!!! Try to get him his favorite cake & perhaps take him out to dinner at his favorite restaurant. His girlfriend would be your best bet on finding out exactly what Cody would like. Teenagers are sometimes so hard to figure out.
    Hugs
