Well, next week my life will again be infused with the discipline of a schedule. <\/p>\n
Yes, I got a job<\/em>! My private practice was part-time (though growing until circumstances changed), so this will require a shift in mental and physical behavior. <\/p>\n I’ve been hired to work as a bookseller for a major bookstore chain. I’ve worked retail before, many years ago. Working on my feet will be hard on me the first couple of weeks, but I’m looking forward to being around books all day, and helping people find what they’re looking for (and perhaps what they weren’t seeking but would enjoy). I’m going to have to leave my money at home, though, or I’ll probably buy more. Perhaps it will be similar to the experience of a woman I knew who worked in a bakery. After she had her fill of all she could eat, she lost the taste for eating so much sugar. Could the same be said of my passion for books?<\/p>\n This also means that posting may be light for awhile, as I adjust. I’ve had the luxury of time for the past year to read a great deal — books and blogs — in order to cull material for this blog. I may not be able to sustain the output, but I certainly will try. I can’t imagine giving this up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, next week my life will again be infused with the discipline of a schedule. Yes, I got a job!
