The Holidays in Retail

It has been a long time since I have had a few moments to write anything.

Since I have gone back to work at Target during the week in addition to the weekends I was doing earlier, I have been working most days of the week.  For some reason this week is only three days.  I am not going to complain, I have so many things to get done.  In addition, cashiering has been extremely painful for me.  My spine surgeon put me on restrictive work orders.

I worked Black Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  It was busy.  I didn't on Thanksgiving even though our store opened at 8 p.m.  I was a nice Thanksgiving.  Everyone was healthy.  Our son was home all week from college.  It was great to see him.  We didn't have my mother-in-law this year, she was with her other son.  It was nice and quiet.  My sister-in-law's brother and family were not there either.

Our son did not want to go back to school because this is finals time.  He has never been one that likes school.  I pray that he is able to handle these last three weeks well.

I did get an MRI on my neck, there was nothing that shouted surgery.  My doctor now thinks it is either the rotatory cuff.  On to physical therapy.   If that doesn't work, an ultrasound to see if I tore anything.  I sure was hoping they would find something to fix the pain.

The lady that has been leasing our horse for about the past year, bought her own horse.  She said that she was only looking.  We all told her to also look at other horses.  Also, to get a prepurchase exam.  She never did anything of these things.  She wants to fulfill the lease agreement.  That ends the last day of January.  She paid for the horse the full amount.  Not even a down payment.  The owner is wanting money each month until she takes the horse, that is to pay for food.  The amount though is more than enough.  She told me she wanted my to help to purchase things, yet I was told today of all the things she has already bought.  The last straw, she has stopped taking lesson with our instructor.  She has a hard time riding this horse without weekly lessons.  To me, the most funniest thing, she has not told her husband.

This leaser thinks I should write a book or blog about owning a horse, about how to buy a horse and helping new horse owners.  Sad, but all the things I would put down, she has not done.  Not sure why she suggested any of this if she hasn't followed any of my suggestions.  Oh well.  I think I still will just for the fun of it.

Busy week next week at work.  I am trying to put together the money to go to Florida in Feburary.  The company my husband works for is having a Mega Meeting there.  I will need a break from work and that would be fun to do.

Ta, ta for now.
