It's going to get better

I decided to start doing a few shops again. It's been so long my log in has expired. Fortunately most are welcoming, and those I have to email seem to be responding positively. Already got assignments from one of the schedulers I didn't think liked my work? It's all good. I love working for her, she challenges me.

Tim came over today and helped me clean out the stalls after moving the goats. That was a big job. Tomorrow is will be a month and I'm really over doing it. So I was grateful for the help. My chest hurts in 2 different ways and it's very uncomfortable. My shoulder feels like it's skinned raw, but the skin is there.? Muscles torn up underneath I guess.
I usually have a high tolerance to pain, but I've never had anything like this.! I'm hoping doing shops again will help distract me. Since I can't really do half the things I want or need to do. I might as well get paid to shop, while I heal. If you know anyone in the age range of 18-30 there is a huge need for alcohol and tobacco compliance shops.

Ever since I got ill the first time, since the stroke.. and now since the accident... You just don't realize how much things can take the energy right out of you. I find myself only able to do about half of what I used to do. And I don't see myself ever getting back there! Perhaps simple old age plays a part, but I think when we beat ourselves up we speed up the process.

It's going to be a better year, I feel it. This is just the start and it's been a crazy month so far. Feels like we've had a roller coaster ride. Cold weather and high winds in the forecast. Stay warm! I think winter is trying to make a statement.

Blessed by God

Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn

Thanks for stopping by

Until next time, Stay safe and Happy Trails.

When to love the rain

When it isn't snowing...... I would so much rather have the rain than snow. Too many people around here don't know how to drive in snow and it makes it dangerous for us that do.
So rain, something Washington is famous for..... is a welcome site!
On this cold dark winter day.

Now because we live in a rainy state, it's important to keep your lights working ! Rainy nights make driving a challenge sometimes.

I came home from the hospital to find the other guys headlamp in the back of my truck. I told the police I didn't see lights when I pulled out.... After looking at the front of his truck and where it hit my truck... I have a hard time believing that this headlamp was even attached to the truck? It's in pretty immaculate condition compared to everything else that made impact in the crash?
