With my health history, it never occured to me that one of my siblings would be the first to deal with a major emergency health issue. My younger brother had a massive stroke yesterday. We aren't sure right now what his prognosis is. I am waiting for the others to pack up so we can drive up there. If I don't have someone to watch our pets, then it will just be my son and me. If we get someone to watch the animals, then both children, my husband and I will go.
It is about 5 hours and I don't know how to get to the hospital yet. That is next on my list. I have already investigated Disability insurance and printed the information out to take with me. He has two young girls, 10 and 8. He isn't old enough for this to be happening.

Cruel twist of fate

Looking for a job, again
Well, I had a really nice job working with REACHvirginia.org, but they ran out of funding. My boss hopes that they will get another grant (they applied in June), but until then, I am jobless.
For right now, while I am recovering from surgery (see related article, if you are interested), it isn't a big deal (other than the lack of money). I have heard that my former-former boss is retiring and they are getting a new office manager. My husband wants me to consider taking that job back, but with gas prices so high, driving out there is really too expensive. If they let me work from home (which they probably would if I take the web minister job instead of being an administrative clerical assistant), it might not be too bad.
I am just leary of working with that crowd again, because the melodramatics were over the top, and I don't need the stress (that was another reason I had high blood pressure, I am sure.)
I have sent off an email to a friend who used to do their web development to see if he is going back, if not, I may apply for his old job. I still have a lot of thinking about it to do, though.
In the mean time, I have gotten another web development client, but they didn't need much. It is located at AMIC-C. I am still looking for other clients, but so far, I haven't had a lot of luck.
My youngest is now in kindergarten, and her hours are 11-3. That makes is really rough to find a job with hours that allow me to get her on and off the bus. Oh well, I will keep looking.
