...I start a thread and ask for help. I've worked very hard today, along with starting and tending a woodfire that's located in the cellar and moving enough snow to clear the entrance to my house.
For those who don't know much about me...I'm a hairdresser. A few months ago, I had to close the beautiful salon I had in one half of my house and turn it back into an apartment for the rental income. I'm in no shape to work enough to warrant keeping that space as a part time business. It was a heart breaking decision, but the only one that made sense.
So now I still do hair, but it's just for my best, loyal clients who understand what a feat it is for me to work at all. I bought some portable equipment that works perfectly in my kitchen. Still...every day is something to dread because my pain is so unmanaged.
I have no choice, though. I can't survive on just the income from an apartment though it has lightened my load considerably.
I won't list my ailments, but I am asking that some healing energy be sent my way. I still have my beautiful Grandaughter due to arrive for a special school dance 'do'. I'm way beyond my limit already, but I will not disappoint her.
Please...be thinking of me if only for a moment.
Hugs...

But still, sending prayers! Your granddaughter will have such wonderful memories of her grandmother doing her hair. I'm betting you are an excellent hair stylist. You seem very detail oriented, and I've found that the best hair dressers were those who had an eye for detail.
I'm sorry you have to work so hard. I admire you for the fact that you are able to shovel snow and stoke a fire. I'm sure you'd be better off if you didn't have to do these things, but it's amazing what we do when we have to......
I hope you are taking the rest of the day off after doing your granddaughter's do. You deserve a break!
God bless you, Cherry!

I am relatively new here as well. I had to quit a job I loved because of my back so I know how you feel.
My prayer for you is that you get through whatever comes your way. I know you are of strong mind even if your body gives out.
Hang in there and slow down a bit, ok?
