On a mission

Sorry i haven't blogged in a while. I've been busy settling the apartment and trying to settle into a new work schedule. I love my job. Finally I've found something that is a good fit for me, and I know I'm good at it.
I've been inspired to do many things. I never dreamed I would want to start a cause for this next one! Depends!! I'm on an all out mission to get Medicare to buy an old women depends that actually work. Sure, they're covering depends now, but they're sending her cheapo ones that don't hold anything. Consequently, she doesn't go anywhere and she has been in tears because she just doesn't know what to do, and she can't afford to buy the decent ones herself. What is this world coming to?! All to save a dollar...grrr! but then, as Big Guns likes to remind me, they use our tax dollars to build a museum for cauliflower or to start an anti-terrorist task force in nowhere-ville, Arkansas. Why can't their be a little common sense put into how these decision are made? To me, it is much more important for our citizens who are struggling to have their basic needs taken care of than to have a museum of anything. There is enough to go around, it's just a matter of getting them to put it in the right spots....so that's what i'm going to do. I declare i'm not going to rest until this woman has leak-proof depends!

My other cause that I'm focusing on is to get a sweet, 96 year old woman a new pair of wheels for her walker. It seems that she has warn them out and the don't spin anymore and she can't do anything without her walker. I asked her if she wanted me to try to find a new walker for her and she objected saying hers was just fine, if I could please just find her some new wheels. How sweet is she!! The things we take for granted....
During our meeting today she pointed out to me how soft her hair was and asked me to feel it, so I did and remarked on how shiny and beautiful it was. I then asked her if it was her natural color (it was bright red), and she nodded and said it was. When I looked up, you should have seen the smile on her face! She was so tickled! I wish I could have taken her home;)
Well, this is all i have time for now. i need to run off and meet Big Guns for some appetizers at Applebee's
