What I’m doing now (June 2024)

 

I’ve been sick for most of June. The NP I just saw said she thinks I probably had RSV and before I was done with that, got Covid. It’s a good reminder not to take my health for granted.

 

My kids are 17 and 19. The big one is back to her mowing/caretaking job at the golf course and still not putting much thought into her future, despite my prodding. Her brother is home from Debate Nationals in Iowa and went straight into Debate Camp.

 

I got into both MSW programs I applied to but the one I ultimately decided is the best fit is full for this fall. They said I’d be top of the list for fall 2025. The silver lining to that is I can be more present for my youngest child’s senior year of high school.

 

I’m still loving my job in transitional housing at our local community mental health center. Without school in my direct line of sight though, my mind has wandered to where else I can go from here. I’m planning to meet with my bosses about moving into case management. I’d like to stay in housing, but there are also some open positions on other teams within our larger mental health center.

 

I hope this finds you well. Please drop me a line,
