Suns out, Happy Anniversary

Today we are celebrating our 21st Wedding anniversary. Amazing how time flies.
Sun has finally hit the great Northwest and today will be in the mid to high 90's. No complaints from me, I am sick of rain. I went out for a nice walk and enjoyed all the flowers, squirrels out playing and some good music on the Ipod.

The latest on Wade. This week we learned he is seriously low on Vitamin D. Who knew? The average minimum should be 30 (30 what I don't know) a reading of 15-20 is considered very low and his is only 12. So another prescription strength supplement to take along with the calcium. We are still looking into the role of vitamin D and what issues being so low could cause. The calcium and bone density issues were to strengthen the bones since even a fracture could toss him off the transplant list.
As for the list. We have finally gotten all the tests done, taking all the supplements and the file has been sent to the insurance for review and approval. This can take one to two weeks depending on the insurance co. Once they have that he will be put on the active list and will start carrying a beeper.
With all that going on and all this sitting and waiting for the next direction some things are just getting stagnant. I haven't ever really loved the real estate business, I love helping people get into a home of their own but not really the business end of it. I've always volunteered and given away a lot of my time to the many worthy causes out there and often said if I could make just a small paycheck doing that it would be perfect. Well, I'm trying not to get my hopes too high but I applied for a job with a local organization, REACH Community Development. They have a large real estate portfolio of apartments and single family homes that they manage for very low income or disable residents. They help these folks handle repairs and safety issues that might not otherwise be taken care of and enable them to stay in a home thus keeping them from becoming homeless. They also offer support services to educate people on how to manage their finances to stay on top of their bills, cook good foods to save money and stay healthy. There is a lot of community involvement and that would be part of the duties, arranging volunteer events etc. I am really excite at the prospect and think my experiences could be put to good use.
So, keeping the good thought on that one.
We can't just keep living to serve the cancer, waiting to run her, run there...
I have faith it will all work out. The girls are doing great, band concert at the High School last night, Middle school next Thurs then the Jazz at Middle the Thurs after that. So busy with end of year celebrating.
Blue sky and sunshine, it's all good today.
