What a Day

I know we always say that "what a day" but today tops any that I had at work in the last few months.

To List

Simplex Grinnell annual alarm system inspection

Simplex Grinnell annual fire extiguishers inspection

The local fire marshalls annual inspection

Jim the electrician telling me that the magnetic fire doors that are broken are faulty wiring done by the the boiler installation crew

Simplex Grinnell telling me to call the electrician who then told me to call direct energy about the warranty on the boiler install

Still no fixed doors.

Everyone waiting for someone else to fix the doors

Still waiting

NO ONE FIXING THE DOORS TODAY

Orkin pest control lots of activity on the outside bait stations...anyone who knows me "creeped out"

More you need to call, and then call them, this is not our problem.

1.5 hours on hold waiting for a fix to the problem

two evaluations only 15 more to go this week

Only two hires to do this week one full time and one part time

finally a surpirse full week of work to complete an application for Homelessness Perdiem application which if we are lucky we will not need as we will recieve the RFP funding that took us Weeks to write.

Oh on a positive note we caught the mouse who found his way in our house, lets hope he has no ffamily with him.

On days like this when I have a moment to think about it, I just long for home and an end to the work day.

Hoping for a quieter and less hectic tomorrow.

Where Does My Help Come From?

On Thursday June 9th, Heidi had her first Chemo treatment. We have been talking about it for weeks, building up to it with research on what to expect, waiting for the first of the 8 treatments to be done, so that she would move from anxious anticipation to actually knowing how her body would respond to the drugs.

Heidi choose to go through the first few rounds with just herself and Sam, she just wanted to make sure she could handle it and know what to expect without anyone else around to observe.

She has always been fiercely independent, and strongly courageous. Even still chemo is not for wusses. Today marks day 3 since treatment and the begining of the slow climb back up to feeling better.

We talked yesterday about No pain No gain and how the last few days have given that statment a whole new meaning!

I am reminded and drawn back to the Psalms 121

"I lift my eyes to the hills- where does my help come from?

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will no let your foot slip-

he who watches over you will not slumber;

indeed he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD watches over you-

the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

he LORD will keep you from all harm-

he will watch over your life;

the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

Thank you LORD
