My son has an amazing case manager who figured out a way to get him rides through the Medicaid-reimbursed ride service up here. So he won't have to use up his pay to get to work two hours, two days a week!

@MaineLonghorn That is wonderful.
My youngest is going to be here for the 4th of July. First time since she left for college freshman year 7 years ago.

I started a birthday fundraiser on Facebook for NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Maine yesterday afternoon. I'm not usually into doing that kind of thing, but the organization is excellent and desperate for cash (grants typically have to go towards a particular program, so it's hard to pay for salaries and other overhead costs). I've already raised almost $340! That makes me happy.

My S (ShawSon) and his GF and my D (ShawD) and her BF are going to join us for my 65th birthday hiking in the Canadian Rockies, which has always been one of my favorite parts of the world (and where we used to come in the summers to hike and the winters to ski when the kids were at home).
ShawSon lives in the Bay area and ShawD is moving there with her BF this fall. ShawSon found an apartment that he, ShawD and BF, and two of his friends from business school will live in together in SF. Nice that our kids like each other so much that they choose to live together.

Last Saturday my dad was released from the cardiac care unit, shuffling slowly to the car and then into his recliner. The meds they prescribed have his a fib under control and his heart rate steady for a week, his appetite and color are back, and today we walked to the corner and back at a fairly brisk pace. He wanted to go farther but let me persuade him to do that tomorrow. Not bad for 89 3/4!

I was sad that I couldn’t nail down an emcee for my upcoming 13th annual event. I always feel I’m herding cats!
I happened to meet one of my board members at the shopping mall and mentioned it and she graciously agreed to be my emcee (she’s very poised and has been emcee for other events as well). I’m just delighted and can now finalize my program and get it to the printers and proceed! Yippee! This has been weighing on me for some weeks — trying to finalize speakers and emcee!

My coworker had her grad school grant unexpectedly cut by the ivy league school she plans to attend this fall. The response she received when she asked about it was not acceptable. I helped her draft an email, and her grant was restored. It felt really good to help her (to the tune of more than $8,000/year).
