I'm so broody right now! I think it's a side effect of this cloud I seem to be trapped inside at the moment. I just want to feel needed. There's something so rewarding in knowing that someone is depending on you. It becomes a reason to get through each day. I definitely need that right now. I'm not broody for a baby by the way. I'm not getting into that kind of craziness! I really really want a dog. It's like a deep-seated need. I can't really explain it.I'm enjoying spending more times with the rats, but I need something a bit more stimulating and responsive. I want something to hug but the ratties won't stay still for long enough. I keep looking at dogs who need rehoming and picking out who I would take home. The most annoying thing is that the last couple of years would have been the ideal time to take on a dog. I've been around most of the day so it wouldn't have been alone too long. I could have got the dog gradually used to being alone for longer, ready for going back to work. I would have been in the ideal position to make sure any new addition was properly settled in. The main obstacles have been the state of the house (living with an obstinate hoarder is never a good idea), the rodent pets (never a good mix with a new dog) and more recently my potential employment (more on this momentarily). For now I will just make do with giggling at the ratties' antics and smothering them with love and treats.
On the subject of a job; I haz one! I finally got through the wall of security and terrorist checks and had a phone call about starting work. I'm just waiting for the paper work to come through now, so I know what to expect. While it's put an end to my dog-acquiring plans for the moment, it will help in the long run as I'll finally have some funds and eventually be in a position to move somewhere better. Although I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it all right now. I am looking forward to having a proper schedule again and decent money coming in. I was, however just settling in to a routine of caring and volunteering which allowed me time to indulge in some of my hobbies. I've been my own boss and not really had any commitments for so long now it's going to be a strange feeling to be going to work every day. To be honest, I'm not really sure how I feel about it right now. I guess I'll know more once I get started.

Ooh, what's the job?? Congrats and all that jazz.
ReplyDeleteFull time work isn't all that bad. Sure you have to slug yourself away from the comfort of home but the money is welcome and the routine is a godsend. Although I did work for Vue Cinema which were squiffy hours when you could get them.
