I Love Scrabble!

Yes, I know. That is a different title for my blog. But after spending hours playing Scrabble on the computer, I feel I may be developing an addiction of sorts. Well at least I am admitting it. It is just a great game!

It has been a busy week. I am in the midst of some employment leads and this has been taking up some of my time. It will be a nice change though if I am successful. I love working at St. Joseph's Community Health Centre and the staff are wonderful but I just feel like I need a new challenge. A new chapter!

Last week we had a M.D. and Nurse Practitioner come down from Ontario and it was a great learning experience. They spent Friday sharing their experiences in the "Community Health Centre" field with us. They have a lot of specialized positions such as a Coordinator to help low income and immigrant individuals to navigate the government systems....what a great idea!

I had my final French class last Wednesday which translates into a final exam but I feel it went well. Well at least I hope so as I have already registered for the next level which begins on April 12th at the Community College.

I took a break on the weekend from Community activities to catch up on some yard work. We did some raking, fertilizing, trimming and planting. Soon I will be able to till the gardens and plant. Anyone have a tiller? I have started many herbs indoors and they are doing great. The warmer weather is definitely helping.

Last night I had another training session for my work with Victim Services. It was a very interesting session offered by the Saint John Volunteer Centre on the ABCs of Fraud. It mainly deals with fraud as it relates to seniors but would be useful to anyone. They will come and do the session at your organization if you are interested. It is hard to believe that people can make a living off of ripping off other people, but they do and they do it well.

I have to plug another session around Domestic Violence that is coming up on April 10th from 12-2 at the Church of St. Andrew and St. David on Germain Street. It is entitled, "A Journey Through the System" and will focus on the journey of a victim of domestic violence from start to finish (if there ever really is a finish). Of course, the mock journey will use an actress even though there are thousands of real victims. There will be a free lunch and if you are interested in attending then just RSVP me (jarda@reg2.health.nb.ca).

Well I could go on and on but will wrap it up. If it is too long no one will read it, right? I hope everyone is doing well!!
