* 119 *

 I haven't done anything this month blogwise, well hardly anything. So I thought I better pop by and let you all know that I'm still here and also send my apologies for my lack of comment leaving.
 Work seems to be taking up all my time and although I love it and my workmates are great by the end of the day I am just totally shattered. My days are still exactly as they were before with cooking, cleaning, washing, tidying up,school runs and looking after the boys but most of them also now have five hours a day of standing up serving customers.
Some days I will be on my feet for nearly twelve hours bar two ten minute bus journeys so by the time I sit down they throb a lot.  It is getting better though and I think by the time my contract ends at Christmas they will be fine, which would be typical.
Today I had a day off, so after dropping the boys off at school I took a walk around the park. I watched the squirrels play and listened to the birds through the mist. I've done a bit of knitting and cleared the back yard of the summer plants along with the daily chores but now my eyes are starting to close and I feel my bed is calling so I'll say night night and fingers crossed I'll be back soon .

Being busy is good but sometimes it's frustrating when you feel you don't have a balance of busy and craft time.

I hope things calm down for you soon Lisa. Don't worry about commenting or blogging. If you haven't got the time then so be it! I am glad that you have settled into your job even if it does leave you worn out in addition to doing your usual daily chores. The tree photos are lovely as usual and it is good that you took out some time for yourself in the park. x

Not surprised that your feet are throbbing at the end of the day! I'm glad you managed a peaceful interlude at the park - it's good to be able to slow the pace down a little - hope you manage to find a little more you time before the craziness of christmas descends!

I work with the general public, and it is exhausting! I'm glad you managed a little time to yourself in the park though. Yes, and life at homes carries on as normal too! x

Hmmm -- I had to chuckle at your tired feet and then you have a day off and you go ... walking! Working and all the other same ol' same ol' is rough stuff. I hope you can soon catch up. Oh, and thanks for popping in -- I've been wondering how things are going. How is Kali adjusting to you being gone?
