End of Week 1

Can't believe it has been a whole week since I left California! Unfortunately, it seems like forever since I was there with Mary Ann. Still having a really hard time believing it's over. I watched her FB video and actually cried when I saw her hands. She has such beautiful, soft hands, and I always loved holding them. I know it takes time but I am still so had. I was laying on the bed this afternoon just staring at the ceiling when the following thought just popped into my head. "Take time to heal. And don't be afraid to ask for love and support from all those people who care deeply for you. For it is in asking that we receive."

I had a very productive day even if I didn't shower and dress until 3PM. Got all my clothes hung up and folded all the ones that go in drawers. Then Steve, Jen, and I went to Micro-Center to buy my new computer.  I can't believe how little money I spent!! I walked out with a Toshiba laptop with a 4 Gig memory and an HDMI output plus many other features; a wireless 3 in 1 printer; a 3 yr warranty on the printer; and a 1 yr warranty on the laptop. In addition, I got a $50 instant rebate for buying both a computer and a printer AND a $40 mail-in-rebate on the printer. Then it was Iacono's for pizza. Yummy!!

Tomorrow is full of plans too. I just don't think I have the heart to go to church though. Maybe next week. Jen, Steve, and I will be going to brunch with Jen's dad to celebrate Father's Day. Then tomorrow evening Summer and I will be meeting friends for show tunes at Union Cafe. Of course, then Monday comes and I have to get down to business.

I have decided I am just to old to work 12 hr. shifts so I have to call the recruiter and tell him I pass on the travel job. Also have to call and left Orleans know I am not going to take the apartment and call the movers and push the move date back to 1 Sept. Then, it will be job hunting. At least there are tons of jobs out there and a lot are 8 hrs. I am hoping I can work casual or at least part-time.  I am also going to investigate going on disability for my knee. At least I can supplement but I'm not sure yet how much money I am allowed to make in addition to disability. Anyway - I'm off. Catch up with you later this week.
