TGIF

I logged in to our bank account last night & found out that the government had saved our butts to the tune of $88!! Woo hoo! Utah State income tax refund had shown up on Tuesday & the federal refund had shown up on Wednesday! Then our car insurance will come out on Monday & we would have been in serious doo doo! We get paid NEXT Thursday. As it was, four transactions had cleared. Besides the amounts of the transactions, a $22 service charge would have been deducted. Mother's bank is $35 for an overdraft.

I'm so glad it's Friday. I went in to work today & announced I could only stay an hour. When asked why, I said that I had worked 14 hours on Monday & Tuesday & that only gave me one hour I could work today. Instead, I worked 4 hours, sigh.

No news on my MRI yet. I guess I'll wait til Monday & forget to call.

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

When I posted this quote, I think I was going to explain it later, but never have. This was given during one of the workshops in the Hospice Conference (it is a conference for both home health & hospice) I attended in February. It looks like I didn't write a lot about the conference. It was spread out over 2 weeks with 5 days of workshops. This is the third year I have attended & love it. It helps a lot & I've learned a lot.

The quote was given by a professor from Utah State University during a workshop on spirituality. I decided perhaps this is the reason I've survived so many things. I definitely have lots of whys to live. I don't know if I could survive a holocaust or prisoner of war camp though. Even the trek across the plains, but then would I have been brave enough to listen to the missionaries & join the (LDS) Church to EVEN make the trek? I've always been grateful that I live in this period of time in the earth's history with all of the medical breakthroughs. I probably wouldn't have made it out of the Preston Hospital when I was born & neither would Mother.
