Our New Cold Call Author and Other Random News

Oh my goodness what a week.

I never viewed my writing or blogging as relaxing until this week.

I've spent the last four days in a doctor's office shadowing the staff to see if I am cut out to be a nurses' aid. (NA) Talk about making your head swim!! I've never had so much foriegn information hurled at me more than this week.

Makes my filing system and my piddly little computer jobs here in the comfort of my own home seem a WHOLE lot easier. ;-)

And by the way...I know understand the question I have wrestled with for ages...why the wait in a doctor's office is so long! ;-))

  8. Hi Casey! So have you been hired as an NA? If so, it sounds exciting!

    How did your angel food cake turn out? I made one a few months back, and I really liked it! My family wasn't too hip on it though; they'd rather eat chocolate cake, lol.

    Have a great week!!
