A Real Job

Well, it's been way to long and I apologize but I have good reason. I have been hired by our Chiropractor (where I was temping) as a part time receptionist and I really enjoy the job. It's called Santa Rosa Chiropractic Neurology Center. I know many of the patients as they are members of the stake. It's a whole new thing for me in the job market. I'm so glad that I was able to fill in successfully and that they offered me the job. It may work into a full time position when the receptionist who is full time now moves to So. Calif. the end of December. Now I don't have to do that whole resume thing. There are two Chiropractors and they do much more than just spinal manipulation. They have a learning enhancement center for kids and adults and have helped many who have ADD and the like. It is all very interesting.



I got my "big black boot" off on the 6th of September and gradually I am back into my shoes. I can't just jump into all of them as my ankle still swells but it is gradually getting back the mobility it needs. I don't feel real comfortable yet in shoes that don't have some support around the ankle or are high heeled but that will come in time. I even got a pair of "Crocs" for work as they are very comfortable for my feet and they don't bind at my ankle like athletic shoes do. I can wear my two of my 4 pair of boots to church so I at least have on matching shoes again!...hurray!!!! And I went to Physical Therapy last Tuesday and she said I was doing really well so she gave me the home plan exercises and released me. I just have to keep working at the flexibility and getting the scar tissue inside my ankle to stretch out.




Last night, Richard and I went to South San Francisco for a gathering of the Galon family. We were able to meet Gwen's boyfriend, Yasir as they were here for her employer for a trade show. Yasir is a great guy. So very nice with a wonderful personality. They are such fun "couple" who are obviously in love; and they were even working in the kitchen together making appetizers and a marvelous Greek Salad. Gwen has become quite the cook these days and really enjoys it. The main purpose for the gathering was to meet Daisey Marie's son, Matt and his family. Matt was given up for adoption by Daisey Marie when he was born 27 years ago and he found her recently and they all have become very close. He is a delightful young man with a beautiful wife and two beautiful kids. They are expecting a third in April. See picture of Daisey Marie and her two grandkids, Frankie (the little girl) and Elijah with Mark and Kathleen's son Joshua standing behind. We had a wonderful time socializing with all of them and having a nice visit with Daisey (Gwen's mom) too.








Mark, Kathleen and Joshua (who were there too) have moved to Sebastopol recently as Mark is working at Kaiser in Santa Rosa. He is an emergency room doctor. We are happy to have them so close. Kathleen is expecting their second child and is due in April of next year as well. April will be a big month for this family. We are so thrilled for them. We plan on getting together again soon.
