Time for Change

My younger sister, Marilyn, and I have a meeting with my older sister's doctor and social worker tomorrow. Looks like we will be deciding where Rhonda will go from St. Joseph Senior Behavioral Health Center. I'm guessing she will go into full nursing care, with an outside change at going to assisted living. Just hope she is able to enjoy her life to some degree.

My 2015 Book Challenge

I set the bar too high this year on my book challenge. Way too high. Especially considering I was working on a huge 9 month project at work. So here it is, August 27, and I've only read 39 of the 85 books I challenged myself with. Obviously, I'm not going to be able to read 46 books in 4 months. Well, I could if they were 100 pages each! I think I'll lower my goal to 55. 16 books in 4 months? Can it be done? I guess we'll have to wait and see!

Wow, It's Been over a year...

since I posted on this blog. Are blogs dead? Or do people just spend too much time on Facebook and Twitter? I'm guilty of both I guess. A lot has happened in the past year. Last November I was sent to Florida with 4 co-workers to begin the process of building/creating a new advertising system. I'd been through this before, 3 years ago, when the project was put on hold after 4 months. This time, we worked our butts off, and sailed through a couple of audits. We were able to skip audit #3 because of our hard work, and we went live the first of August. There have been a few bumps along the way, but overall it was a successful go-live. In the midst of the project, my sister Rhonda became ill. She has spent the last 10 weeks either in the hospital or rehab. At this point, it looks like she may have to go into full nursing care. My siblings and I are in the process of deciding what to do with her apartment, her cats, and her belongings. Tough decisions ahead. I'll keep this...
