I've been told I haven't posted in a while...so here goes.
When I first started "blogging" my life was in great transition and I was learning that I needed to trust God for everything. Now, nearly 7 months later, I think I'm learning!

So, what's been happening in my life since my last blog? Well, I have a permanent parttime job now. I'm officially working at the dental office in Hermosa Beach 3 days a week. At least I was going to start working there 3 days a week beginning this week, but there was a glitch in the plan (I'll explain later). But, I am going down there tomorrow for two days. I really am enjoying working there. I'm doing a little "front office" work, which consists mostly catching up on charts, writing when the patient's next appointment is and billing insurance, then I file charts and pull charts. The only part of the job I'm not crazy about, but am learning to do better at is calling insurance compananies to get information on coverage for certain plans. Actually, the worst part of the job is the 32 mile drive on the 405. It wouldn't be so bad, but if you're from LA, you know how bad the 405 is any day or time of the week. It takes me 40 minutes on "good" days, but it's usually an hour and a half. However, on Feb.17 (Friday and rain) it took THREE HOURS!!!! Made me really wish the office was a lot closer. But, I shouldn't complain, because my plan is to spend two nights down there so I only have to make one round trip a week. Many make that trek on the 405 every day, and I simply couldn not bare that. I think it must stem from the fact that I've never really had to drive far to work in my life...until now. Up to this year, the farthest I had to drive to work was five miles, and I did that for 15 years. I have a new admiration for Tom, who drives 38 miles every day to work. Wow!

Meanwhile,I'm still teaching Music on Tuesdays at Light and Life. I quit being the Librarian because I was offered the job of working three days a week down in HB. The Library job just wasn't working out for me.

Now, for the reason I didn't start working 3 days a week this week in HB. On Tuesday, Feb. 21 Tom had knee replacement surgery. He came home the 24th Everything went well, but they wanted me to stay home with Tom for a week. However, he is doing so wel, that the physical therapist said it would be ok for me to go to work. So, I'm going for two days instead of three.

So, my life has been busy, but busy is good! I am learning to trust!

Later....
