Well, I warned you that I had more to say and since some people keep whining that I haven't been blogging enough (Kim), this should settle you down for a bit :) It's actually not that easy to blog with one arm in a sling, but now that Jeff has given me this handy dandy attachable keyboard, it's awesome and makes things somewhat manageable.
Anyway, today was the Administrative Services Division (ASD) picnic for work. Last week we had the Financial Services Branch (FSB) picnic which I really wish I could have attended, but I was in Scott's Valley, so I tried my best to make it to this one. I truly didn't believe I was going to be able to make it, but thanks to my good friend Roberta who doesn't even work at DMV anymore, she arranged for our buddy Shelly from Budgets to come all the way to my house and pick me up! What great friends I have :) Thank you Shelly, you're incredible. And Roberta, you too, you're just the best.
At the picnic, although I didn't do much more than sit and eat, I got to say hello to a whole lot of people that I've been missing...a lot! Jordan came along with me, so that was awesome to see the looks on everyone's faces as they got to see how tall and beautiful my daughter has become :) I'm quite proud of her, she's turned out to be such a wonderful girl and I love hanging out with her. It sure was good to see my boss, Jeff Mansur, whom didn't even recognize me the last time I saw him, so it was nice to see that he wasn't so distracted this time with work that he knew who I was! I know that sounds silly, but I know how busy Jeff gets with stuff. He even made me promise to call him from time to time and that I had an invitation to the Christmas party for sure :) that made me feel great. You just don't understand when the highlight of my day is to go out to the mailbox to see if we got any mail, so actually venturing outside the house for a change was quite a nice ordeal. Although everyone kept telling me how great I looked today, they don't realize that this visit will probably do me in for a couple days. I am thoroughly exhausted right now and ready to go to bed for the night, although I hope to last until John gets home from work so that I can see him (which will be around 9:00ish).
Well, here's a shout out to my lovely co-workers whom I miss a lot and if I forget any of you please don't be offended, I'm still experiencing chemo-brain so cut me some slack...it was good to see you all:
Shelly, Kim, Yolanda, Lukeithia, Kristine, Jenelle, Gisela, Vikki, Dale, Angela H., Angela P., Selena, Robby, Laura, Jeff W., Jeff M., Marianne, Ollie, Marilyn, Evelyn, Jeannie, Lien, Todd, Michael, Theresa, Genea, Jason, Filomena, Sandee, Wes, Charlene, Linda, Allison, Jim, Linda, Esper, etc. That's all that I can remember seeing.
P.S. It sure would be nice to win something from that raffle cuz I heard that I didn't need to be present to win :) hint, hint. (LOL)
Peace to you all ~ Love, Genie
