I bet you guys thought I was gone forever didn't you?  I'll admit I've slacked off with the whole blog thing.  Been dealing with having to resign from a job I loved, being unemployed and dealing with the whole Workman's Comp issue.  I've never had to do that before and it has been one hell of an eye opener.  My boss, whom I had a good relationship with and who was fine when I told her it was workman's comp just up and stopped all contact with me.  So after 2 1/2 years of being a good employee I can't even use her as a reference for a new job.  I hate that people can behave that way.
On the farm front we've had lots of drama between the sheep and the ducks.  The sheep very badly want the ducks food.  We have tried everything to prevent this but they are determined and manage to get some of it every day.  The ducks quack loudly and beat their wings and the sheep are quite unperturbed by it.
With my back injury I have found that I do not enjoy the farm like I used to but it is something I am working on.  Trying to find the joy in the things I used to.  With the limitations I have I can't even really sit and knit for long.
I went to unemployment for a job resource meeting and they took one look at my restrictions and pretty much said to look for work, play the game, but noone is going to hire me.  Good times.



I will try and get back to a regular blogging schedule.  I thank all of you for being so patient.

    So happy to see you back on the blog. I checked quite frequently but did not want to bother you as I felt it was because of your back etc.
    I hope you are able to get some compensation from WCB and it seems to happen that one day you are friends with the boss, then you put in a claim and they take it personally. My son had the same problem and his claim was denied, but after a couple of appeals he won his case.
    Maybe you can learn to knit lying down, I have done it a bit when my back was bothering me and it was really painful. It was not easy but I had something I needed to finish so I persevered. So now I know I can do it if the pain comes back.
    Thanks goodness your children are grown and there is none of that lifting!!
    I can just imagine how your ducks feel about the sheep stealing their food - I could see it in my mind's eye. :)
