2013 Started Out Decent . . . But

2013 Started out decently enough for me and my family.  The end of February rolled around and I ended up with the "Crud" as my doctor called it as did my mom, dad, brother, and grandmother.  I got over mine within a week, mom, dad, and my brother got through it, but Grandma's would not let go--it got worse and worse--we took her to Urgent Care because her former family doctor was on call there--her doctor done nothing--then on March 8--she was taken to the ER at the hospital--she was admitted to the CCU at the hospital and was in there almost a week and she was transferred to a Nursing Home because she needs more care than we could all provide.  Her stay in the Nursing Home is going to be long-term she won't be coming home--she will be moved over to Long-term Extended Care the end of this month.  She is getting better, but there is a very long road ahead--he new family doctor told us she had a stroke at some point, but not sure hold old the stroke is the test did not show that, it just showed she had a stroke.  We have all gotten wonderful support from family and friends during this difficult time with grandma and we are continuing to get support, and it a greatly appreciated.

I am hopeful the rest of 2013 goes by smoothly.  Grandma will never be 100% but she is improving each day and we can only hope for the best and be able to enjoy her for a few more years.

 The last two weeks have been very rough, the Fiscal Officer/Assistant Director that worked with me at Wauseon Public Library passed away after a battle with bone cancer, besides being my boss when the Library Director was gone, she was also a friend and I will miss her dearly she was so much fun to work with, she could always make you laugh, she was a wonderful person I feel so blessed that I got to work with her the last six years--now the library is looking for a part-time Fiscal Officer. With the passing of our Fiscal Officer/Assistant Director, another change was made, the board eliminated the Assistant Director Position and those duties were transferred to me under my new Job Title that I was given in October of 2022 as Head Librarian, with the added duties my pay was increased--yes I am pleased with the pay increase (my pay was increased once I accepted the Head Librarian Position), but the circumstances for the added duties and pay increase came at the loss of losing our Fi...

The Holidays Are Upon Us

Thanksgiving 2012 has been here and gone already as the Christmas Season Approaches . . . a time to reflect. Our Thanksgiving Celebration was pretty good . . . the turkey was delicious, nice to spend time with family.  My brother took our parents, grandmother, and I to "A Christmas Carol" on Saturday, December 1 at the Valentine Theater in Toledo, Ohio--it was awesome! The Valentine Theater is beautiful on the inside--we had box seats and were very close to the stage.  I could see that again.  He also treated us to a wonderful dinner at Carrabba's in Maumee--the food was delicious and the service was excellent--I would go back there again to eat. I got my Christmas Shopping done early this year.  My mom surprised me by purchasing a new digital camera for me--she gave it to me early so I would have it to use now.  I am getting it learned, took a few pictures of our Christmas Decorations at home and put them on my Facebook page, the pictures turned out really ...
