@littleblackskirt when my mum had difficulty in standing for long, we bought her a walk stool. They are compact, easy to carry, comfortable and stable - often used by photographers. The drawback is that they are not cheap! http://www.walkstool.com/. We got mums from this shop - they have them in a variety of heights. https://www.speedgraphic.co.uk/trolleys_mats_seats/walkstool_comfort_55/16708_p.html
I hope your back feels better today. 🐝2 -

I had a great time at my new job! I met some great people, and I really think this will work out well. I spent most of the time "boxing" the store because I don't have any numbers yet. Once I get those, I can start with my computer training and things. So we're hoping that I get those today. But "boxing" is just facing the store. Like, condensing boxes, taking empty boxes off of the shelves, sweeping up random things that make their way behind the boxes. Things like that. It was pretty straightforward and stuff I've done before.
Also, our school district finally went full virtual. There's been a large break out of covid cases in my school. Apparently, the whole football team has to quarantine, and over the walky, I heard them calling down an entire gym class to get tested and sent home. So my last two days at school will be spent staring at a computer. But at least I won't get beat up by my student.
I am not at all prepared for Thanksgiving. Like at all. I'm not sure if I'm working Wednesday or not. If I'm not, I'm going to clean. If I am, I'm going to make Matt clean. I still need to pick up a few things, I think. I don't even have a list of things I want to make yet! This is my first time doing Thanksgiving, and while it won't be large. Just me and my parents who live on the same property as us, I still want to make it nice. I'm hoping that Mom and Dad will come over early to help with the final prep. Lol. Like, my mom makes the best gravy, and I don't know exactly how she does it. And she makes a great stuffing. She adds stuff to it. Like chopped up apples, but I don't know what else. Lol. I don't even remember what I asked her to bring. I think it was a pie, but I'm not sure! Lol. I hope this doesn't turn out to be a bust. My brother and SIL are going to be joining us virtually. I'm not exactly sure how that's going to work, but we'll figure it out, I guess. Lol5 -

We have a weather alert today for light snow/rain with slushy accumulation possible. It was starting just as I parked my car at work. Tis the season. Glad I got out early to walk dog. We met two friendly joggers (never saw them before) also wearing headlamps & one had on LED vest. Dog was a little freaked out. Now I know what I look like with my same gear on LOL. The morning before, right at sunrise, we saw two deer running from a brushy area to nearby woods. I always love seeing wildlife on our walks.

I expect to be without internet tomorrow but hopefully I’ll be back on Thursday. Thinking of you all and sending good wishes 🐝2 -
So I'm finally in my new house! Moved in this afternoon.
It's a smaller house but big enough for us all. Not a lot of storage and we need new cupboards and stuff so not sure where I'm putting everything yet lol! Our lounge is full of bin bags, maybe like 30 haha.
All our large items are coming tomorrow, we've treated ourselves to a new mattress (and not a cheap one this time) but God knows when that arrives!
I can't believe it's been 8 and a half weeks since I had to leave my old house. How I survived I don't know but it's gonna require a lot of effort to get back to normal.
Thursday I have the school meeting, which I'm looking forward too and so are the kids! I can't believe how long they've been out of school, I hope they've not missed too much or can catch up.
As of Monday I want to start posting goals again.
My first goal is a "body health" month. Which means sorting my mental health and physical health. My anxiety has made me pick at my skin so I need to stop that and get it all nice again, get rid of my spots, shave my damn legs and pluck my eyebrows. And take my medication EVERY DAY.
So basically getting myself back on track ready for the new year.
So, if I forget by Monday, someone PLEASE remind me I'm meant to be setting goals 😂4 -

Snow that fell yesterday was melted by rain later & above freezing temps. Very damp out & decided today will be my rest day. Good to be rested for the Turkey Trot tomorrow: only 2 miles timed & I know I'll go further than that with dog. The next day the 50 Mile Frenzy starts, and I want to build mileage early, since who knows when snow will finally make treadmill non-optional.
Office is deserted today, more than usual in this pandemic & work from home days. Lots of folks took day off. I'll enjoy the quiet, water my plants, clear more emails, and maybe get some work done. LOL
