Be - All is quiet on the western front?

Everyone must be really busy or in some sort of reflective mode - I know you had a very successful meeting on Monday night Patty by the email messages I got - thank goodness you still have me on your distribution list so I get a message once in a while - that is, besides Cathy's recent messages with pictures which I loved to get. I even telephoned my friend Sue today just to talk - alas, she was out with friends for luncheon so I never did connect. So I went to some stored memorabilia from work and started to purge - felt good. As you know I resigned from the College of Nurses effective Dec 31 so I guess I am feeling a little lost - but there is no need to keep any of this old stuff hanging around from previous work ie performance appraisals, letters of reference and applications and letters of hire etc. I found my scrapbook from Nursing School which I plan to read through before bed tonight. It is in terrible shape with all the taped clippings all falling out so I must be careful as I flip through the pages. It should be fun to look at again but I don't know what I will eventually do with it - maybe fling it with the rest of the stuff? Tomorrow we go to Mothers and the CCAC Coordinator will visit to do her reassessment - it feels a bit weird because I was her Manager not too long ago - it brings back a lot of memories.
One good thing though is that I have decided to keep my car and buy it when lease runs out Feb 10. By coincidence there is an RRSP maturing Feb 24 and in talking with the bank on Tuesday, I have arranged to cash it out and thus can pay for the car.
By the way Patty what is the latest on your dental work? Have you had the necessary work or is that pending. I go to the Eye Specialist Jan 25 and can hardly wait. In spite of my obvious deterioration I stubbornly keep taking out books from the Library and then have marathon reading sessions before bed that take a tole on my poor eyes - they actually hurt with pain by the time I close off the light. Speaking of which it is time for bed and as I am into another Cussler novel I expect an hour or so of good reading before I can't take it any more. I thank you Cathy for recommending his books - I have depleted the Library's stock now and don't know what to do to try to find more - they can order in but I have to request a particular book. I have just been going to the shelf and grabbing the next book that I haven't taken out yet. But now I have no more from which to choose.
Well, take care........
