Happy And Sad, (Pyschotic Mess)

The holidays are full of surprises. Baggy Pants and his bestest friend, Reuben came up for the night.I amnow back on the job hunt again. My health had gotten bad and I was on medical leave. I call them this morning and let them know I am ok, and they tell me to call back in about 6 months?????? So I have now been perusing the help wanted. I have never had trouble finding a job before so I have faith that God will provide. I just do what I can, one day at a time. Life is always full of surprises. I have an interview tomorrow at a residential facility to work with disabled people and they are hiring immediately. They need someone for the graveyard shift, which I have worked for many years at, ahem, Denny's. Since caring for my late husband this is something that has always interested me. Just to be able to bring some joy and cheer to people who need it would be the biggest blessing there is. Everyone has a certain knack. Mine seems to be the knack of making people feel special and smile. Now I just have to find a way to support myself doing that. The potential employer sounds very interested, so my fingers are crossed. It's time I do something else with my life besides waitress. Not that there is anything wrong with it. I have reached the point where I want to do something better for myself. I don't want to be 80 carrying trays. Plus physically my back can't handle it. I just turned 45 this month. This upcoming year is going to be different all the way around. The optimism persits. As Jim Morrison said, "No time to wallow in the mire". Peace and Happy Holidays!

Go for it Lori but my wife works in a residential facility and the care givers at times have to be able to life their clients in and out of the tub and such. But i hope you get the best from the coming year. Peace especially.

Good luck on the interview;) I hope it's a move to something you enjoy. Working with people as a care giver may just be your thing!

WM- That is something I did not think about. It is for the third shift which I have worked for many years with no bothers. They rescheduled my interview for Monday. We shall see...

Lou- I think it's time to hang up the apron. I know if times get hard I can grab a waitress job somewhere. I would just like to try my hand at something else before I am unable to work.
