Posting has been light this week because I became employed again this week,yay:) I had lost my job back in Dec. due to a back injury at home,which required longer time off than my job would allow since I had been at that job for less than 6 months.(That was my Christmas present <sarcastic snort> two days before Christmas they said "per our policy, we're removing you from payroll since you'll need to be out longer than 2 weeks and you've been here less than 6 months.")
So, I am very happy 5 months later(and 10 pounds heavier,those darn cookies!)to be gainfully employed again. It's an assisted living facility and I'll be primarily on the Alzheimer's unit,and I have always loved working with Alzheimer's patients.
Also this week, my boyfriend's son graduated from high school! :) and I received several pieces of 'free mail' as they call it.(Since those in the military can mail their letters for free.) One was an update from someone I began writing to via Anysoldier.com almost a year ago, he had sent a final letter to a number of us who had written to him from the beginning of the deployment, as his unit is getting ready to come home! And the other free mail was a 'thank you' note from a soldier I had sent a birthday card to, as part of the Cards Plus team at Soldiers Angels.
I am always astounded(and honored) by those who take time in the middle of being deployed to a war zone to write back to total strangers......but especially by someone like the first soldier, who sustains the correspondence throughout his deployment....and someone like the second soldier, who sends a 'thank you' for a simple Birthday Card!!God bless our troops:)
I didn't get on the computer as much this week,lol, but I still found some places to point out for my recurring 'surf' posts:
Back on April 28 , I had posted that THE MILITARY CHANNEL was looking for soldiers videos. (and they are STILL looking) but if you go here
