SHOES?

Shoes are highly overrated. I am supposed to be completely in shoes by now and I'm not quite there yet. Yesterday I wore my shoes all day-BIG MISTAKE. Today, instead of going to church I'm home with my foot propped up, taking aspiring, and icing my foot and yes, Wiener is by my side.

I thought Wiener was just going to be Bob's dog, and she is, but she has been a lot of company to me while I have been off. She's entertaining, she HAS to taste everything I eat, and of course, she has to be walked, which is also good for me. She even knows she has to wait sometimes until I catch up with her.

My time of being off is almost over. I go to the Dr on October 21 and I expect him to release me back to work. I can't stand, of course, but I'll have to take the wheelchair. I'm not really sure where I will be. I'm assuming at the park, but maybe not. I only have 4 days there and then I go to my new job. Yes. I got the one I interview for on Tuesday.

I won't be in any park, but in an entirely different area of the whole company. I'll just be answering phones from guests and other cast members. At least I'll be able to sit down. It will, of course, be hard to let guests into parks now. I have 3-4 weeks of training and then I'll get my schedule. I know I will work 5 eight hr shifts, but I don't know when or what days. I'm also trying to work in candlelight practice and then performances, so we'll see how all this goes.

I will miss the people I now work with at the parks. I will miss the "one-on-one" interaction with the guests, but I will not miss the 10-hr days, the hot/cold weather, nor the standing all day. I'm not good at doing new "things" with new "people". I'm much more comfortable "in my ruts" of life, but one thing for sure-I won't have to take my work home with me in this job. And, if something interesting becomes available, I can always change. Stay tuned.
