...continued...

Well, it's been 3 weeks and i still hurt. Weekly trips to the doc are frustrating because i see different ones each time...altho' the last 2 visits were with the same old geezer who chooses not to listen to me speak or let me finish when i try to explain the pain. He rushes through the visit & kicks me out & says physical therapy. And better yet...when i show him how swollen the one leg is he tells me "well...you're heavy...it's summer...and you're on your feet all the time..." so i guess i am in pain because i am FAT??? i seriously am fed up with that place...and will see if i can go elsewhere for the workman's comp stuff.

On a better note---i am thinking about adopting a dog at work...he is a shepherd (mix?) and his name is Bob. He's an older fellow so i think he'll do well in my house. i am waiting until my leg is better before i make the final decision---but if he gets adopted in the mean time that's okay too. He deserves a good home asap!

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer so far---yikes! it's almost over!

O-U-C-H !

Had a little accident at work yesterday---squatted down low to get a leash off a little dog & couldn't get back up! Felt "rubber band snaps" on the side/behind my knee!!! Had to hang on to the fencing until someone could help me to the desk---yikes!

Made it to the doc who said they couldn't take xrays since i can't straighten my leg (???)---was a little puzzled by that. i am in PRIMO PAIN when i attempt to move it out or lay down with it elevated. i can sit without too much discomfort. They sent me home w/crutches (which stink!) so i do my best to get around with an old walker & my rolling desk chair.

Decided to stick it out today & go back to the doc tomorrow to see what they say...maybe i need a referral for an ortho---double yikes!

Tune in next time! lol

to forgive...

The message at church today included forgiveness...to forgive means to release...and i found myself realizing i am certainly one of many holding on to some bitter (even hateful) feelings towards people in my past that did indeed hurt me. The message continued that if i am to truly live the way God intends---that i have to forgive---to release. Hmmm...Pastor did say that you in no way have to try and restore any kind of relationship you had with the person(s)...if that means i don't have to call anyone up & say "hi, i forgive you" then i think i can deal with it...at least i will try.

Weekend Fun???

So the weekend is here...i think heavy rain is in the forecast today...and i have to do a home party with Heavenscent Gifts this afternoon...yikes! i gotta work tomorrow so will miss church, but if the weather is nice i promised my niece i'd go swimming with her.

And that's my wild wacky weekend plans! lol...NOT!

The Weekend is here...sort of!

i have 2 days off in a row---so it's sort of a weekend! i plan to paint up the orders i received from Saturday so i can get them to the customers. i also need to clean up my craft room---plans to start painting for real means i need some more organization!

i'm still enjoying all the dog blogs i find! i am anxious to start volunteering for German Shepherd rescue here in NJ.

Today was "Caricature Day" at work at Camp Bow Wow---For a $10 donation dog owners had a drawing done of their dog & they were soooo cute! Proceeds (100%) go to rescue groups!

Off to relax a bit!

Busy Weekend!

Although i had the weekend off this time---i think i was more tired than if i had worked! The Rawhide Rescue Flea Market was Saturday, then Sunday was decorating Camp Bow Wow for the anniversary celebration & a Mary Kay party at my friend's house. i was soooo tired by bed time!

Today i go to work a little later so this morning i need to catch up on a little bit of housework. But first....breakfast!

Time to Volunteer

Altho' i miss my Dana terribly---i still am not about to add another dog to the pack just yet. Lucky Face & Lucy have enough health problems that i can't ask them to accept another dog on top of that!...of course if a shepherd were to drop in my lap...i'd take it!

But i've been thinking...i want to someday get another shepherd thru a rescue...and i always check Garden State German Shepherd Rescue. They are always looking for volunteers, so i thought THAT would be my "German Shepherd" fix! i'm going to fill out the volunteer application & help at the fundraisers, make some of my crafts for them, etc. i think that will be good for me! i think that my experince in helping with a rescue organization may even be "blog-worthy"!
