To Work Or Not To Work, That Is The Question!!!

A good friend of mine came across a job advert that she thought would suit me down to the ground.

It's a part time role working at a local school, so it would mean I would get the school holidays off.

The work in question I don't see as a problem, I'm not sure about the hours, or the commitment required.

I suppose I'm worried about it being too soon, am I really fit enough? Can I really commit to a set number of hours every week for six or seven weeks at a time, and what about the housework?

I feel like I'm jumping from the frying pan to the fire, or visa versa, and I'm not sure which is the right thing to do.

I don't even know if my doctor will sign me off as fit to work, which is something I do have to do.

As for the Job, what do I tell them?

Do I say 'Hi I've left my wheelchair at home as I haven't used it for a few months; but don't worry, I still have it!!!'

I suppose I would feel better about this if it had happened in a few months time, but it has been such a short time since I was so bad, and I don't want to go back there.

If I don't go for this job, will I ever go for a job? Will I always be this worried about starting work after having been off for so long?

I feel like I still have so much to come to terms with am I just adding to the problems?

The thing is I'm working thru the things that I need resolving, my S*** list is getting sorted.

I know this list will always have something on it, that's just called life, but if I get the big things sorted then is this job just going to create more things than are needed?

Am I going to end up going to work and then feeling bad because I can't do the housework?

I suppose I'd better talk to the kids about it and get their views as this will affect them as well....

I’ll see what the job details say when I get them, but I only have till next week to decide as the closing date is Friday.

Let’s hope I can resolve some of the issues before then.
