In Loving Memory of Macey

Please pray for the Achesons. They just lost a very dear, sweet companion. I learned how hard it is to lose a companion like that when my 14 year old dog Sparky died last August. Pets are a blessing from God.

Here is me with Sparky. I think the date is wrong.

Theresas

I rarely run into another Theresa. That has changed this week.

I now have a step-sister named Teresa. (Jim's son Wayne is married to a Teresa.) And of course, she has a wonderful personality and a wonderful name.

The weirdest yet. One of my office mates is named Teresa. There are only three of us in the Coumadin Clinic and two of us are named Theresa (or Teresa). This isn't even the weird part. We are both have the middle name Lynn. Neither of us had nicknames and the only difference in our names is the "h" (and our last names), so it took us a couple of days to figure out how to decipher between us. I am now Theresa Lynn. She has bad memories of her mom calling her by her middle name, so I got the middle name too.

Oh yeah, her birthday is June 7 and mine is June 3. How weird is that?

I"VE GOT A JOB!!!!!

I finally got a job offer. It was kind of an exciting job offer too. I applied to Scott and White for a Patient Educator job with allergy and interviewed with an HR person and a woman above the allergy department. They decided to hire a nurse instead, so they passed my application on for a pediatrics patient educator job. I went in for that interview and was told that I would pretty much be the nurses' b---- and would be sticking babies with needles all the time. Umm...not very appealing to me. Well, I just decided to forget about S&W and move on. Today I got a call from their human resources lady and she just flat out offered my a patient educator job for the Coumadin Clinic. Apparently the allergy lady really like me and was upset about not being able to hire me, so she made a patient educator job in the Coumadin Clinic that fit the description of what I wanted to do. She call the HR lady and told her to call Theresa and offer her the job. FINALLY! I start Monday, June 11. Now I have to worry about working and getting my class work done instead of how we are going to pay rent. I don't mind the change. PRAISE GOD!
