Scratchings on the Wall
Hello all. Been awhile since I have posted anything on here.
My day job has been hectic to say the least. October through December is a "busy season" for the company. It has been a struggle getting used to the new 1st shift and taking a bus to work. It has not been easy when you are used to doing 2nd shift. It's not bad, but still takes getting used to. I also spent a few days working in their two retail stores. The plus side was finding out their massage therapist had pneumonia (sad she had it) and both stores asked me to give chair massages at their locations on my days off. Score!!!!! I was grinning from ear to ear because I missed massaging clients and seeing their contented smiles from my skills. It makes me happy knowing I can help heal someone or make them smile or laugh.
Because of the busy season, I am getting many overtime shifts. Some shifts being 10-14 hours, where I end up going straight to bed after work. Thankfully, my last long shift is tomorrow. Then, it's back to regular 8 hour shifts until I attend Furpacolypse this coming week.
On and off I have been taking care of my step-dad, who has dementia whenever my mom goes on business trips. He's had a couple of hallucinations but nothing major. Turns out I will be caring for him for 3 weeks during November.
I will be attending Furpacolypse Thursday - Monday. I am wicked excited to attend and see my friends there. I will also be selling a few fleece blankets at my friend
mellencollie's table in Artist Alley, who will be selling yarn tails, etc. I will also be bringing my massage chair.
Looking forward to seeing you all at Furpacolypse! ^_^
