Buddha Canvas

and another episode of my life in a nutshell.

Work: have realized that despite it not being my first choice in employment, I am really enjoying my job. Physically it is a lot , and I still lose function in the evenings, but I enjoy the seeing each piece and finding the right matting and frame to enhance it. The only downsides are the physical toll and the shop tensions. Shop tension all relating back to the “expert framer” they hired. Hiring her, it turns out, was done without the knowledge/request of the shop manager. While she is a lovely girl, she has a lot of personal drama, and worse, she is not very productive. Shop hours are based on  productivity.

Health: Saw the Rheumatologist last week, and have now been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The upside is that the condition is not fatal, the downside is there is no cure.  She stressed that one of the keys to functioning within the syndrome is keeping a regular routine and minimizing stress. Both the rheumie and my regular doctor agree that I shouldn’t be working evenings, and should avoid staying in a job with a lot of stress.

that’s where the meh comes in. I have found something I enjoy, and may have to give it up too. I am pretty sure I could handle the physical aspects if one evening a week were not mandatory.  sucks.
