Happy (day after) Canada Day!!!!!
Again it has been too damn long! I have lots to blog about too!
My weight has stayed fairly stable...not so good if you consider that it is staying stable at 224lbs....and I have been working at a very physical job, 8.5 to 13 hours a day, with a 15-20 minute lunch break,
My body is so sore that I feel like I must be 100 years old! Actually I know some folks who are getting up to that age who probably hurt less than I do!
I am so tired at the end of the day that I have no energy for fun, family or anything else.....the couch in the computer room is permanently set up with a pillow and some blankets, cause that is usually where I land when I get home. My day (sometimes days) off are not enough time to recover and as a result, nothing gets done at home. Paul is valiantly trying to keep on top of the housework, but his idea of clean and mine differ quite a bit and as a result I tend to be more critical than I should be...in fact I should just be thankful he is doing anything at all!
I ***MISS*** SCA heavy fighting.....sigh......but with being so tired and sore and busy, I haven't picked up a stick since Fighter School and that depresses me.....I haven't made a new pell yet, didn't even bring my armor to Thatsa Mare....too busy cooking feast, on top of all the other reasons....
Work....well lets just say that a love of cooking isn't all that is required to be a good chef.....I am not fast enough, organized enough, I can't remember enough, and I suck at multitasking!!!!! I like to do one job at a time, uninterrupted, slowly, methodically and PROPERLY!!!!! My faults are listed at length daily, but if I do something right.....I never hear a word.....I give them 125% and they want 200%......I am tired, sore and disillusioned and I wonder if I made the right choice in careers......yes I love to cook, and I daresay that I have some talent for it....but there is sooooo much more involved......and I suck at alot of those parts.......I really don't like working as a pastry baker.....I HATE GETTING MY HANDS ALL STICKY!!!!!!!!!! I am forever wiping my hands and the counter and then I get shit for it...... ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!
So...I am leaving Good News Cafe in 1 month and I am going to work full time for Dr. S. at the Chiropractic clinic....one of the girls is pregnant and is going on Maternity leave around the middle of August....so the job is for at least 1 year....maybe permanent if she decides not to come back......The job is less strenuous, and less stressful plus it pays better! In this year I am going to do some soul searching.....get my body healthy again, start training to heavy fight again, figure out what it is I really want.
That leaves the only really stressful thing on the horizion.....Feast Stewarding Coronation in Sept.
I have a tentative menu together......(no pork Solies!!!!) I just have to get ahold of Tim Matthews at the college and discuss plans with him.
Well, that is all for now!
Hopefully I will post sooner next time!
Bou :o)
