Progress ... just tiny progresses
Good Morning … It’s just me for a few minutes. I’ve been up for about 1 ½ hours, but haven’t done much … just getting around on the computer … we read some news and looked over some of our past work. Toward the last few moments, we started to fall asleep, but then our alarm went off officially. Since there was so little time left, we figured we’d let Sweetie take the first shower if he gets up when I go in there in a few. He said yesterday that he wanted to be up at 5:30 cuz of CARF … we’ll check on that today … but, I’m not sure because he was out late with a game and dinner with his son. We’ll see …WooHOOO Bunny friend is up. He made us weigh in 318.0 … that’s pretty good all considering … yesterday was CARF day #1 and there was some problem with very good donuts. Let’s not speak about quantities ok … cuz bunny friend wasn’t so happy when we reached for #2. I love him to pieces, but I’m afraid our tummy rules the roost.
Chief says he agrees, but he is happy that we got our shower so he could play with our hair. Chief cats … they’re like that. Ahh something is up … we got Missy here too. I think she’s worried about us getting cereal, but we’ll wait for fishy friend for that. Maybe I better put on shoes and socks though so as to not slowing down the process.
Good Ann! Hmm, kitties still being a bother. I can’t figure out what they want, but now they are both sitting at the back of my couch staring at me … like they expect something and I’m being difficult. I can’t figure out what for … they have their litter box, they’ve been fed and watered. And, they’re too something to want to get petted. My closest bet is that they want me to go to the kitchen where their newer routines rest. Chief likes me sitting down across the big guy, cuz then I pet his tummy and Missy likes it that we share a little cereal. I don’t want to believe my kitties though are pushing me into routines of their design … feeling a little manipulated.
I didn’t get an important medicine last night though so we’re watching out for our psychotic thoughts. *Sigh*
There is new news in that Rich came back and said that Joe could apply for a rehabilitation specialist at JVS. That would be working with the middle man that was between Rich and us. Rich is Sean’s boss and Sean would be Joe’s boss. I’m not sure if that’s going to happen because Joe has an interview today at Target for a middle-manager position. I guess one of the reasons I’m not as happy about the Target job is that my mother had worked at Target for her entire working career – retired from it in her 60’s. She gained more responsibilities and eventually flew a couple places to start the receiving department in other stores, but she never got out of being a receiving clerk. Joe would start off ahead of her already, but just learning the ropes. I’m not crazy about retail as being a gift to mankind, but I know that Joe will have to make that decision for himself.
I told him that if he just applied with Sean, because of our close connections that he is almost guaranteed the job in rehab. I had talked to him over the weekend about my desire to have him in a field where he was making a difference and could feel real good about what he does. Maury had also worked for Target though and he was telling him about that … in not altogether favorable thing, but I think Maury liked that Joe would follow his foot steps I’m not sure. I like the rehab job because it has meaning to me, I’m not sure if Joe at the present time could make it work for him. I know if he got into people then he would excel. Rich liked the idea of getting young blood in there. But, he worries a little because Joe couldn’t say anything about my relationship with Rich other than we’re friends. I trust very much that Sean would do well for Joe. Probably even better for him than us, because we were somewhat weird. First question Sean asked Rich was if Multiplicity was inherited. Hehehe poor Sean. I don’t think that he would believe how straight up Joe is. I’m not sure if Joe is affected though by Sean being black. I would hope not, but Joe’s still young and hasn’t fully learned to value all people. I’m not sure if he indeed respects that some folks in life – the clients need assistance.
Joe could help teach that philosophy, but he’d have to learn doing it by the school of hard knocks. I don’t know if he has that kind of discipline. He has karate discipline, but still a kid from the suburbs. That’s the other thing … Joe would have to travel into the city and that’s not nearly as close as Target and he doesn’t really like to drive. I think that the choice of making a career has to be more than that, but again … it’s gotta be Joe’s decision and we would hope even if he’s chosen the other career, he could turn back to this one.
Whoops Rich is out of shower and dressed gotta go!
