the more things change

Well an interesting week since my last post. I started my new job, I got it on the day of the interview, but it will not be the hours I was hoping. In fact I only worked about six hours for the job this week and may not work any next week. It pays better and I like the place and the people all seem cool. I think I will still have to look for something more. The place sells parts for HIGH end sports cars, I will provide a link in the sidebar for people to check out the site.

I have worked every night this week, as the other night person is on holiday. I will be working tonight also and tomorrow, sunday. The sucky thing is that on Tuesday evening I started coming down with something, I was thinking Spanish Influenza or SARS, lol. Wednesday I had my first day at the shop and did not drink enough. By the time I got back up the hill, it was kind of warm that day too, and home I felt like Hell. I did not want to get out of bed but, as money goes, I was not sure if I was eligible for sick leave and could not afford to miss work so I went. I was hopped up on Excedrin and vitamins so I could function but was so beat from my walk up that I took the bus down. When supper time came at work I decided I was not going to be a wimp anymore and went to the kebab shop and got a burger with some of their very spicy chilli sauce, I was going to sweat it out. Within a couple hours of eating it, I felt better and by the next day was much improved. I still have a sore throat and am not 100% but, am a lot more comfortable.

I was however bummed that I decided to get sick right when starting a new job and having lots of extra hours at work, but that is how it goes.

Daughter is happier as my mother kindly sent us, ie her, some puzzles and coloring supplies. She finished the puzzle the first day, so we may get her some more over time. My mom also had some gardening soil sent to us so that daughter could do some potting and planting, which she was happy with.

peace... one love

Yup. That's how it goes. When you can't get sick, you do. And spicy food was a good idea. Glad it worked. :)

And glad Bodhi is cheered up a bit, too. Keep us updated on the planting. :)


*hugs and love*
