It's been a long long time since I wrote in this blog. I just discovered that I've only written two posts this year!! I can't believe it. So I'm taking the time now to update you (if you care) on what's going on around here.
First of all, it never ceases to amaze me how fast the time goes by. Days, weeks, months, all gone in the blink of an eye. My line of work revolves around time: constantly planning for next month, and booking vendors for the next year. You can almost see the time elapse, as each event you plan and worry about finally comes to fruition and you are equal parts happy it all went well, and relieved it's over until the next big event. Then you drop from exhaustion!
This year I had lots of big events at work-our "Spring Fling" in June where we bus 12 of our residents to the Senior Center for meal and music (along with the other 8 facilities in our company).
In July we had a special event at my facility, where a world renowned percussionist came in and played. He was with our former social worker, who started this non-profit organization to raise money to send Ugandan children to schools. I wrote a press release and sent a bunch of pictures to the local paper, and they printed a full page. The company bigwigs were very happy with the publicity, and I was gratified to see my work pay off. Beth and Samuel, otherwise known as Bakka2thesource, were pleased too. You should check out their Facebook page for more information. Or google it to see some videos. Maybe I can post one here!
In August we had the "Concert on the Common" -South Natick Common, that is. We brought a busload of residents to that, from 6-8 pm. That was a very long day for me, but I lived through it! Then we had our Family BBQ, another evening event, which went well. Before you know it, it will be Grandparents Day,
I'm getting anxiety already as I fear the coming winter may be as miserable as last years was. I dread the thought of trying to get around in piles of snow and ice. Yuck. I know it makes no sense to worry about something that I can't change and isn't going to happen for at least 2-3 months. So instead I'll listen to the crickets and enjoy the cooler nights. Hope you will too.
