Upside down and all around in JabberWokie

Hey guys. It’s been way too long. Friggen Dori’s adventures or what. Well I think I have been at my new employment for 5 weeks now. 5 complete weeks tomorrow. It’s been a ride for sure. A roller coaster of hard knocks and a few good times along the way. Work is good, I really like my coworkers and that is huge at a work place. I am just faster than a snails pace right now. That’s improvement from where I started. My supervising boss is on her second week of vacation to so I got lucky, I could not have a full case load while she was gone, so I am at half speed right now. That will change starting next week. Oy. I am glad I had decent break in time. I’ve got a handle on most of my duties and now I have to increase speed plus own my own morning groups 5 days a week. I have had the pleasure of doing groups 2x week in the after noon for 2. 5 hours each. That is a long time and a long haul for the guys. They are full of irritation by the end of the afternoon.

Ok the Best news is, I ran out of time at the shelter and was able to scoop up a small one bedroom the next day. I have slept there two nights now. It’s a bit of a dive but a little TLC will change that. Another problem is that I am not going home for 8 days so will be without kitchen stuff. I have no bed either. I am going to look for a couch/cot/bed sleeper. Something. If they make love seat sleepers I will get that and use the bedroom for whatever and office. I have to get my pilates maching out of my moms so will have that piece of equipment in that room too. Not sure how much I can use it with my 10 lb weight limit elbow joint but I will figure something out.

It has been nothing but cold and wind and rain and mostly wet soppy snow for days on end now. No sun in sight and it’s getting loooong. I want to walk outside in warmth. Well I need to go sleep. Just wanted to touch base before another day went by. Seriously. I have just been friggen busy and then exhaused and laid in bed a lot, trying to ignore shelter life. I went home last week and babysat little man for the weekend. He is so wonderful. We went to a craft sale where he was ok at first and then I think he gets social anxiety, was clingy for about 30 minutes and then got ok again. I bought a few things for myself. A bracelet, a barrette, a large cross with barbed wire angel and horse shoe (totally in love with it) I bought it for my office but it looks great in the apartment. I will have to get a picture of it in here some how.... I am slowly accumulating stuff for the office for decoration, It’s super plain right now. I will show before and after pics. Oh and in the crappy news section: my car is hesitating to start again, same problem as two months ago so I will have to get to a shop. I hope I make it to work and back tomorrow. XXxOOOXXX OO. I hope to read this weekend. (when I am not making my house habitable.) Miss you guys!
