I Promised!

I promised pictures of mom's new room at Presbyterian Manor. Here she is on her bed. She is so enjoying having her own space! She's even got a new wall clock, and a picture of Elvis! She's set now!

I survived getting up early yesterday for the Eagle's "Taking It To The Streets" Campaign. Several of us manned the 21st & Amidon intersection. Our team leader, my friend Chris, told me today we raised almost $500! That's not too bad considering there were only 3 of us out there for the whole 4 hours. One person was a no show, and two folks were late. But the good thing is we raised money for United Way! Sorta makes you feel good at the end of the day! I didn't get any pictures of our morning. I was pretty much still asleep when I left home! I just put the van on auto-pilot and took off!

Music of the day: Josh Groban, mellow music for the drive home from work tonight.

And our quote for today is: "Attitude is the palette by which our lives are painted." -- Unknown

Mom looks happy about having her own room.
I think I'm still recovering from Taking it to the Streets. My legs a still killing me. Oh well, it's worth all the hard work and feeling good at the end of the day.

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
