Walking

Im diabetic and have had a heart attack, I need to get out and walk for 45 min a day. I just cant seem to get it done the way I used to. I Used to walk with my friend during work but since my friend is not working for me any more I cant use that as motivation to go and walk I also have more work to do with out the help in my shop so I have less time to walk. I didnt realize how lucky I was to have found the kind of work partner I had. This leads me to the thought I have been having for the past few weeks. I need to find a new walking and working partner but I dont know how to begin. I am not easy to get along with I dont keep a neat and tidy shop and I dont want to sit here working with some one I cant talk about anything at all and I do mean anything with! So it is a hard set of shoes to fill especially when you cant hire them full time. I pay well for a part time slot ($20.00) for the right person but the hours are not fixed and the real # of paid hours only yields about 5 or 6 k a year. I dont like to be here alone as much as I am right now and I feel like a part of me is missing. As I read others blogs I see that many people look out upon the web to say I need some one. I need some one even just to talk to maybe I should hire a dog walker to walk me. I just done know but I miss getting my walk with someone to talk to and listen to and laugh with.
thats all for now
