This week hasn't been terribly exciting here, but it's been good. First of all, I've been doing some transcription work for a professor that my mom was working for. She asked Ginny (professor) if she could take me on, too (and if not "too," then ... instead. Yey, Mom!) And I've been working like a MADwoman this week. Also, I had to make two trips up to OHSU with Mark, one for a sort of checkup (which he has every couple of months) and one for the ventricular MRI that he needed to prep for his ablation.
Oh, and I got a job!! My friend, Pieper, runs Country Heritage Farms (www.countryheritagefarms.com) with her husband and in-laws. She has taken me on, 15 hours or so a week for starters. I'll come in to the office one day a week to do filing and such, but most of what I do from them will be at home, on my own hours. I am SO excited by this opportunity and ... touched, I guess, because she created this job for me. So ... I'm going to be busy! But a little of that is a good thing, imo. While I DO--sincerely--appreciate all the handouts people have given us, it really feels GOOD to work for a paycheck, to feel like at least I'm giving something back.
What else? Not much. Things are smoother with Kayte. (Thank God!) Mark hasn't been in the hospital for pain all week. (Thank God again!!) Alex is ... not so great. Seems to be showing some mild signs of OCD, but I'm going to get him to a specialist pronto to make sure he has the help he needs to get him through these next few years. (Just what we need! More medical bills! But ... we do have insurance. It would just be a copay. And ... well, I think he deserves all the help he can get, frankly.)
