It’s been true here since I haven’t been able to work. Darn back reached the point of making me undependable for work - - never know when it’s going to go out and knock me down for however long. It’s not fair to an employer to get the job and leave them in a lurch time and again so I decided not to try any more. Retired a lot sooner than I wanted to. :-(
There’s plenty that needs to be done around here but it’s still a bit boring.
But I’ve worked retail at Christmas time before and agree wholeheartedly that it’s a nightmare. LOL! Not something I’d want to do again.
I hate that your back gives you so many problems. I have some back pain and I can’t imagine what you must suffer! Mine is nothing! But it still hurts, darn it! LOL!
