Well, it is Wednesday morning and I realize that I haven't been writing. It is suddenly cold here at night. There was a hard frost on Monday night with temperatures in the 20s. I actually let the car run to de-ice/frost the windshield. The days are still warming up to the upper-60s and low-70s.
Rhonda has been sick both Monday and Tuesday, so it was just me holding down the fort. It wouldn't be so bad, but it has been so quiet there. I wonder if it is less quiet when there is someone there to share the lulls with you. I think that she will be back today; hopefully, she will be fully recovered because I don't feel like catching anything. We have received a number of donations from the big mailing we sent out. This means that I get to open each donation and then write a receipt and thank you letter. I don't necessarily mind this; it just hurts my hand. I am enjoying parts of my job, but not feeling like it stimulates my mind much. It is actually pretty basic work - at least the part I'm doing. I am trying to think of other things I could do that may help me feel more challenged. The advertising/marketing is challenging because I have no clue, but I am also not very motivated to care about learning the techniques. I am thinking about talking with Fanny at the Adelante program (2 year transitional housing). They have the PALS program which works with children ages 4-16 (I think) during an after school program from 3 - 6pm. I think that part of this program is tutoring right when they get off the bus. I believe that I would enjoy this, if she could use any help and if it would work alongside what I am doing now. I have said that I would either enjoy just tutoring kids one-on-one or doing office work; this would give me an opportunity to do both. We'll see what comes of that. I think that I need more people interaction - besides sorting and handing out clothing at Re-Threads - and this may provide that.
Jeremy is still working at finding things to do at his job. For awhile, he was working on a website, but then that wasn't really what Mike wanted him to do - they had had a website developed and he wanted Jeremy to figure out how to just implement that one. That became pretty complicated for some reason - I don't think it would load right, or there wasn't enough storage on the free site they had. Now, Mike said that Jeremy could just go ahead and start from scratch; so, now he has a mission.
