Tuesday

Hello Everyone:

I ran out of blogging steam and need to do something else. I did do something positive today.  I applied for a planner job I heard about from grad school. It looks like something I can do. I know I said I wouldn't do it anymore because my career plans changed but even that changes. I think I got motivated by that city hiring program I signed on to. Let's just say I'm hedging my bets. Also, there's a clerical position at museum that interested me. I have to finish the application. Let's just say, that job has potential to back door into a job I want. The planner job is more of a career job. Regardless, I'll what I need. Anyway, the mum front looks better. She finally made a clear schedule with the caregiver.  She's going have her on an as-needed basis. Good, some clarity. Also, mum is a little more active than a week or two ago. That's a good sign.  I don't think mum's going to run marathons but whatever she can do is a good sign.  The Minion came over today.  He had a short day at school and came over afterward. We started talking about his bar mitzvah, in a couple of months, and his need to speak up. He's typically more soft spoken but he'll need to all but shout at the top of lungs to be heard. The synagogue is not a big place but they don't have much of a PA system so he has turn up the volume. I found a good way to get him to do just that: I told him to imagine that his parents said he couldn't see he new Star Wars movie when it comes out. That got him motivated. I told him that I'd remind everyday until the big day. That should work.
