The Physical Strain

I'm losing my zen. Thankfully, I don't feel like depression is taking over, but I don't feel quite as calm and centered as I have been. I haven't been keeping up with The Book of Awakening. I haven't been doing yoga, or working out. I know this all is directly related to not feeling fully grounded. I'm still struggling with back pain, so I'm currently in survival mode. I'm making it through the day, and I'm not asking too much more than that of myself. At least, not until I start feeling a little better.

My doctor didn't call me today. I'm going to assume this is a good sign. Nothing too terribly serious. I would really like to get some relief before stock out, because that's going to be a really long/physically exhausting/challenging week. I'm scared I won't be able to manage the physical strain. Snookums came in and did his new hire paperwork today, so I'll have him there to help me (at least, some of the time). Still, I need some relief soon.

I got to see the new store today. It's beautiful. It's almost too hard to believe that it's actually happening. When I was hired back in 2006, I was told we'd be getting a new store in 2008. When it never happened, I assumed it wouldn't happen anytime while I was still with the company. But, it's here. I went in with Donna. They're putting in fixtures and art work. Electrical is still being done, the registers still need to be installed. There's lots of finishing touches left. Even though it is a much larger store, they kept the feel of our current store. Still lots of pink walls, striped wallpaper, and a small store feel. It's not cold like the Tacoma store, or super fancy like Southcenter. It fits. I haven't decided yet if I'll be staying, but at least the new store doesn't feel foreign. That won't be a factor in my decision.
