Down

Feeling down today.   Back hurts from cleaning for my aunt.  Had a interview yesterday at a nursing home.   The job is in dietary and it's a easy job.   But it only pays $8 a hr.  And it's only 20 hrs a week.   I don't know what to do.   I'm hoping she doesn't call me back.  I like what I'm doing now.   Taking care of my brother and aunt and whoever else needs me.  What would they do without me?   This job wouldn't help me much money wise.   I sure couldn't pay rent with it.   My sister says at least I'll have my foot in the door.   Don't know why cause there isn't much else I want to do there.   Don't like the full time hours at all.   Only God knows what is best.  I'm putting my faith in Him and see what happens.    Best go and do my back exercises and hope that helps it.   Hope you all have a good day.

The back is a little better today, thanks Lori! Haven\'t heard about that job. She said she would decide by Monday. I hope she doesn\'t call me.
How are you doing these days? Hugs!

Thanks, ALS is another name for Lou Gahrigs disease. I\'m not sure what it does. Either it has to do with the nerves or muscles. She couldn\'t do much for herself any more though. Very sad...

at some point its time to retire. i feel like that myself now. i take more pills, FOUR, i\'m having brain surges...never expected any of it, but this is how old age creeps up on you. and i keep reminding myself its over, this is phase two, like in desiderata poem gracefully surrendering to it all...one day, its one thing and the next day its something else. i remember a change like that from childhood to teens....luckily a lot of people around going through the same thing, then the work change, which i loved....then the raise kids and put yourself second change, and now its the old age/medical troubles, people close dying change.

hope it all works out for you. luvya sweetie, xxoo

I know the older we get the more aches and pains we get. And I\'ve always had physical jobs so you would think my body would be in good shape but it isn\'t. Partly my fault since I did lift when I shouldn\'t have. Oh well, can\'t change it now. Take care, have a good week.
