I started my started new job last week and I have had brain ache each evening I have got home. It was supposed to be 9am to 3pm, but the company have increased the hours to 5pm. I really wanted till 3 pm as it would suit me better with my small holding or very large garden which ever you look at it, I have made my planting diary up all ready for the end of March, sad aren't I, but I am itching to get out there now. I have bought alot of seeds this year and many different ones and I want to grow them now to see what they are like.
Was late finishing tonight, quick jaunt around Tescos to get some milk and lunch bits and washing soda, following Rosemary's bit on being frugal. Get home around 6pm, empty car of shopping bags, struggle to get indoors as the cat is around my ankles trying to get in as well, fighting 2 dogs off getting through the door as they want feeding. crossing my legs as I want the little girls room and the phone is ringing at the same time. I know women can multi task, but this was a bit extreme. Feed the cat and dogs, go to the loo, make a sandwich as I was also hungry, make the log stove to get some heat and hot water, make the fire in the living room, put on outdoor clothes and brave the cold to feed the chickens and lock them away for the night, change out of my office clothes, ring my sister back, turn on computer to check emails and think about what to do for supper as my hubby will be in at 8pm depending on the traffic coming out of Aberdeen as he is a bus driver and now thinking whether to have a G & T or a Bacardi or open a bottle of white as I am coffeed out as I have had the area manager with me all day, and it is only 7.12pm, plus also check to see what everyone else on here is doing.
Guess what it starts again tomorrow morning at 9am, except I don't have to go to Tesco's tomorrow and my hubby is off so he will sort out the animals etc. But the great thing is I enjoy my new job, it is busy and varied
and everyone is really nice and we have alot of fun too. Everyone still moans and complains, but that is the same everywhere. I work in a nursing home and the residents are a great bunch of people also and their families are too.
I come home with brain ache, but after about 10 minutes it's gone and I know I have left my desk empty or at least ready with tomorrows tasks to do in order of priority. My garden is the same with planting etc, and the house is too, it's nice to get back into a routine again. I'm not sure if the Matron realises what has hit the home with someone like me, very organised and everything in a place. a place for everything and a new filing system on the go tomorrow.
But then that is me!!
