I'm not here to apologize for the lack of posts on the blog so far this year; I'm hanging on by a thread over here and doing the best I can do. This week, my office manager at Not-So-New-Job landed in the ICU after surviving not one, but two surgeries that she was not expected to live through. Her recovery is going to be long and stressful, and I am so sad for her. I'm also super stressed at the pressure her absence is putting on me at work, although that's the lesser of my worries; I just want her to get well.
So, the first thing I'll mention in this Favorites post is the overwhelming support and all the prayers that our community has thrown up for her. It's heartwarming to see how many people care for her, and I can't wait for her to be on the mend so she can see it for herself.
My Forensic Interviewer Coordinator at Not-So-New-Job is my second favorite this week; she has gone above and beyond to keep me sane and grounded as we work through the duties my office manager has had to step away from. We are in the audit process, which my office manager has always handled like the professional she is, so our lack of skill in this department shows. Thank goodness we're in it together and seem to be mucking our way through. She's also really fun to be around, and I consider her both a friend and a coworker.
Do you see the face on this gal? How could that smile not light up your day?!
On a non-work topic, Guinness seems to be feeling much better this week. The meds he is on appear to be keeping him calm enough not to over-groom, which was the goal. Getting him to take the meds was a learning curve, but I discovered a product that has worked wonders; I just crush his tablet into a fine powder, mix it into one of these spoons, and he licks it up like the most delicious treat he's ever had.
It's been a relief not to have to fight to get a pill down his sweet little throat. I rather like this little furball.
