Back to Work

I saw my surgeon on Friday.  I am now wearing regular shoes but only those that my foot will fit in.  I can go back to work but short shifts for right now.  But, I just got a Monday-Friday office day job.  I am excited because that means no more hard work on my body and I will be a little more mentally challenged with this.  I am nervous that I won't be able to due the tasks assigned to me and also that I might get bored.  For right now I will still keep working at Target on the weekends.  This also means less time for my horse.  Part of me is starting to wonder if I shouldn't sell her since I rarely see her.  It isn't fair to her.  Yet, I know many other people who own horses that rarely see or ride theirs.  I hope once my foot feels a lot better I will be going out more.

My son got locked out of his blog so he can't write.  I haven't been sharing any of his articles and won't be for awhile.  He wants to write a book and get it published.  He does know that for a few years he will have to work a regular job to be able to support himself.

I am looking forward to Autumn.  I love the colors, the cooler days and the food that is ripe this time of the year.  I hope to still have time to take pictures with both jobs.

I do have two more pictures from another nature center around me.  I hope you enjoy them.


As you can see, we have had a lot of cloudy days here in Minnesota

One week left

I have one week left of medical leave and then back to work.

I have had three interviews.  Two of the companies called to say no, and still waiting for the other.  As it stands, I will be going back to Target.  My fear is that I will have another surgery in the near future.

My husband keeps interviewing and gets rejection.  My youngest interviewed at one place at college but they offered her a position that was not what she applied for.  The other company gave her a no.

I don't understand why we all are having rejections.  My husband says to keep praying (though he gets depressed when it is his rejection).  We are to have faith and right now I don't.  I am upset.  My employer is going to probably stop scheduling me with all of these surgeries.  I fear my husband will get fired due to being depressed.  My son isn't working at college and quit his job a month before going back.  I don't know how to motivate him.

I am bored though.  Sitting at home all day, not being able to ride my horse is very difficult to stay happy.  Now, I didn't go with to bring my youngest back to college.  I couldn't stomach spending twenty hours in a vehicle with my husband.  All he does is complain.  I stayed home and even had my incision sight bleed.
I have been going on walks to get my foot use to all that movement.  Here are a couple of pictures from those walks.
