last and by no means least actually i saved the best for last

" smile it does look good on you"
Barb, so many have helped me on here and made my heart swell
which words of hope, encouragement and helpful stories they tell
to most of you I am still new and and some of you i have come to know
I find its through helping others that allows friendships to grow
I know you are down and you feel bad about the problems of today
just look at the kind friends and kinds words they have to say
hopefully it will find that spot in your heart and help your smile shine
remember you have our shoulders to cry on to help you feel fine

peace;)

Oh Renee, so sorry to hear about all the problems your hubby is having. You all are in my prayers. :hug:

thank you all for the birthday wishes ...

just alot going on right now ... will catchup with you soon ....

quick update - I sent in my application for the vocational rehab counselor position ... and hopefully will relocate ... first I have to get an interview!

Hey all. Real quick update. I have been having router issues and no internet. I am currently on as a fluke somehow...lol All is OK and Jim's appointment went well. He gained a little weight but nothing too serious. Sorry I haven't been able to update.

I spoke with Renee last night and she's exhausted but hanging in there. I do know he'll be having gallbladder surgery most likely later next week if all goes well. She'll probably be on later to update more about that.

Hugs to everyone!

muchas gracias, San, for the update on NaeNae!

:grouphug:

oh, and glad Jim's thingie went well!

Vonn, hope the vocational stuff works out

Sandy, thanks for the update. Glad to hear Jim's appointment went well.

Good morning all :) I'm sitting here with my last cup of coffee for the day getting ready to head out to work. The other girl is out, so going in a little early.

We have an office inspection (which is a good thing) next week, so trying to get things organized for that. It is rare that an agency gets it within it's second year, so we're not sure what to expect. If we pass, we'll get recognition.

As to the painting pic, hubby has hidden the cameras :D so I asked him to take a pic of it. lol. Hopefully sometime this weekend.

Renee - I'm so sorry, sweetie. You poor thing. I do pray that it will stop "pouring" on you. I hope hubby starts feeling better soon.

Frank - Glad the headaches are settling down. What a relief!:)

Vonn - Wishing you luck on the possible new job. That is awesome!

Sandy - What are you feeding that man? LOL. Glad the appointment went well.

Fin - I'll be looking for your post w/pictures. Good luck with the inspection.

Yipeeee! I can sit up longer than 15 minutes. I am on the mend. There is light at the end of this tunnel, I can see it. Still having other issues but those are more manageable than the grip that was out of control. I should be back up and running within a few days and back to normal in a few weeks. Maybe I'll get a little painting in depending on my workload as it is my busy time of the month.

Hope you all have a great day!

tk -- Glad you are seeing some improvement. You have such a great attitude. I could use a little of that here if you have any to share.:winky:

frank -- I hope your headaches continue to diminish.

Sandy -- glad to hear that your hubby's appointment went well.

vonn -- Good Luck!

Renne-- I have been thinking about you. I am so sorry that you have had so much to go through. I hope your husband has a successful surgery and a quick recovery.

My update -- have been ordering books for my courses next fall. They are so expensive. We have a textbook rental system here so the students do not have to buy their books. The faculty all hate it because it puts strict limits on how often we can order new books and how much money we can spend. But the students and parents love it ,and I do understand why. I found a new textbook for my gender and law class that looks great and is only 55.00 (that is a bargain; believe me) so I am really excited. And it is only 650 pages long. Won't the students love it?:D
