Guess were going to get bad weather again. Ugh, I was sure hoping
we were going to get some nice weather soon. Oh well it has to get
nice someday right.

I have only been out about once in each of the last two weeks. That
is because of all the snow and bad weather. but that is life.

I'm going to take a week of vacation the first week of March only
because if I don't start taking my 4 weeks soon I might loss some of
them. I have to take them by the end of June. Usually I loved taking
all of it in June, but they like us to spread it out. Because some one
needs to answer the phones.

So I will try to save two weeks for June. But that is all.

No I don't plan to do anything special. I might go for a few days to
Kokomo to see my sisters. We will see.

Yes it will be. Its been so hard to go anywhere with the way the
weather has been. So I'm really looking forward to it.

I am hoping my sister that works is off before to late in the day. I think
she is.

I'm also hoping the derrick will be okay with taking care of
Jake for me. Jake has a really hard time being on his own that long.

So I'm hoping this will work.

Guessing sometime Sunday I will be taking Jake to Derrick.

Anyway he got a new provider to go out in town with today. He met
her yesterday. So we are really hoping she will work out. They go
from 3:15 to 5:15 today. He just wasn't sure what he wanted to do.

Its been so long since he has had someone other than the Wednesday
lady that mainly get him groceries and runs errands he will have to
adjust to this.

Donna

how often will she be there for him?
just curious.

I will have to find this out probably this weekend when I talk to
Derrick. I'm hoping once or twice a week. I now he only has
about 8 hours for this kind of person. But when he finds a job
he wont have a whole lot more hours than this for someone.

I'm just glad they finally found someone again. Its been
a long road waiting till they could find someone. Its not easy
in Lafayette to find someone or most of the state of Indiana.

You can usually make more working fast food or other places.

How is it working out for Derrick?

[Dmom3005]

As luck would have it his new provider couldn't start. Her mother
had to come out of a nursing home she was in or something like
that and is waiting on another placement. And her daughter
is the one taking care of her till she is placed.

But this we can understand and hope that one day she will get to
start with Derrick. He had my dog last week and they did good together.
And with dobey.

He seems to be doing a good job lately. And is working on job interviews.

Donna

Good luck to derrick on the job interviews. they are nerve racking.

[Dmom3005]

Yes, he is practicing with his job coach. And she will go with him
to the meetings.

So it will be helpful.
