Half of August is over and it has been an incredibly HOT summer w/little rain. The grass I planted for the SECOND year in a row has met the same demise as last year - brown/crunchy like my fave potato chips. I guess next Spring I'll try it again.
Nothing new has been happening here. I've self-diagnosed myself with Fibromyalgia. I have no other explanation for the aches/pain I feel in my back, abdomen, boobs, shoulders, hands and feet. Mom suffered w/these same things w/no one believing her. I googled if it was hereditary - it is. Not thru a gene or anything but some other explanation. I thought it would be from the physicality of my job; muscle strain of lifting, etc., but it's more than that. I'll mention it to Dr. Cola next month but in the meanwhile, I've discovered 'Yoga for Fibro' videos (thanks, YouTube). Slow, easy, gentle stretches help big time. Do whatcha gotta do, eh?
Things are changing at the store. I can't put my finger on it but it seems kinda bleak. Corporate has sent petty rules down the chain & it's stolen my mojo. I still show up & tackle my job w/both feet, but the joy is leaking out like a tire w/a nail in it. I try my best to be 'chipper' but most days, I can't muster it. Kind, patient and nice, but my spunk is missing. I work alone a lot so it's easy to be quiet and to myself. Hopefully, this is a phase.
Until next time ...
