Update

[collwen]

My Aunt is now in a nursing home, and tomorrow I am taking the day off to go up to the nursing home for the first meeting with all the doctors and social workers since she went in a couple of weeks ago. It's still a wait and see game. She's eating some, but not a lot- pretty much just water, juice, and ice cream sandwiches.

I'm still working a lot of overtime... or in this week's case "how many extra hours can I put in so it doesn't come out of my stash of paid time off days?"

Last night I picked up marnen from the airport... after getting out of work at 10ish and then driving to Westchester... We ended up crashing at his dad's place, which meant we didn't have to drive all the way home and I could pick up my car.

It did mean I had to get up early for an hour long drive into work... how can people do that every day?

My plans for the weekend are to go to Southern Region, then leave from there to go to the New York State Rebekahs & oddfellows Assembly Session up in Glens Falls for Sunday through Thursday. I'll be crashing at tetsujinnooniand chickipu_no_oni's house instead of paying for a hotel room. Even with my car, it would be cheaper I think, and since I have to be there by 9 am each day I should be able to avoid the race track traffic around Saratoga.

Anyone want to meet Tuesday night (7/25) up in Glens Falls for dinner? I have dinner time after the session, but have to be back by 8pm for officer installation, so I can't go far... and going down to Saratoga would be suicide (see previous reference to the race track traffic... Saratoga track season opens that week).

I can't wait to get back to the Stronghold and see what's happened with the place since the painting party.

You do what you have to do to make sure the bills get paid. It's also just a rhythm you get into.

You coming down to SRWC alone, or bringing Tersha and/or Marnen?

Ice cream sandwiches...:-\

The mind boggles...

And, an hour into work...nasty! I had to do half an hour every day last year for my placement, and that was only for 6 weeks!

This weekend A and I went to a Rennaisance thing of sorts and there was a girl there that looked exactly like the new you (or from what pictures I have seen) It was freaky and at times she was looking at me and I kept thinking, maybe it's you. But it wasn't :(

Anyway, I hope things go well at the nursing home. Be sure to get the names and phone #s of all those who attend the meeting. Bring paper and take notes.
