I get those honestly since I have very flat feet and they come and go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is making it hard to walk on my right leg. Left one is fine and I am very grateful for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am getting around OK. Occasionally I do have to take a couple minutes to let everything sort out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work has been very accommodating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am frustrated that I cannot get the speed I usual have because of the knee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was not a good time for this to happen as we are changing the store into a Winter Wonderland with something for the holiday seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have the best management team I have ever worked for in my retail career. They work as hard if not harder than the rest of us and appreciate what we bring to the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have become the resident yarn expert as I have been given the yarn section to maintain. I have learned a lot from our customers along the way which helps in assisting customers to find the yarn they need for their project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My fellow workers have discovered that my broad knowledge is very useful in helping customers make their projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Halloween I walked someone through a quick and easy way to make a Loki helm. One of a couple of cosplayers working with me was very impressed with my knowledge. He\u2019s in his early 20s. I pointed out that I have been around a bit longer and have a theater background. We had a very happy customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am glad I can do that and help people solve their crafty problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The job is keeping my mind nimble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caroline is loving college. She finished the first shoot on her first short film. Now she is editing and adding sound in post. She is taking to film making like a duck to water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She still wants to go into animation however I think film making will give her tools many animators don\u2019t have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, my shin is throbbing. I am using all the techniques I have learned to keep the pain at bay. It is still making me sweat. I hate pain sweats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am hoping as the day goes on, it goes back to a dull roar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I try not to use pain killers until it goes to a level that makes me unable to finish simple tasks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a set of tasks I need to do today. I must mail something to Caroline, who turns nineteen in less than a month, household chores, a toilet to fix, and I would like to get something creative done before end of day. Also, I have a broken bookshelf to fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am grateful for things that make my right leg feel better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a rare two days in a row off before I work nine days in a row.
