Thank you to everyone that emailed me and/or posted a message on Facebook wishing me good luck today on my first day at my new job and that you were saying prayers for me. The day went well - not what my manager had hoped for since the other new person and I didn't have our computers or phones but we were flexible - sat in on some meetings, got a high-level overview of the company and more - plus were taken out to lunch.
The good news was we were taken out to lunch - the bad news was that a typhoon hit about a half hour before we wanted to leave for lunch and we finally had to brave some of the typhoon to drive to lunch. It was raining so hard water was coming in under our front doors. And we have a metal roof on our building so you could really hear the rain coming down.
I'm not sure if I have technically mentioned the name of the company I am working for but it's Submittal Exchange and I found out on our web site (http://www.submittalexchange.com/) that we were named by Inc magazine as one of the winners of the 2011 Top Small Company Workplace competition. Some of our management staff will be traveling to Texas later this week to accept our award.
I was wondering how Butler would do being alone all day, I said a special prayer about him last night. This morning I duct taped his Speedo around him really good, got him settled on his unboo booed hip and told him to be good. I got home and he was on the floor (couldn't get up but not panicking), the floor was wet but when I let him go outside his Speedo had not been peed in so I think he had sweat some on the floor while laying there.
Talked to Dad and he said the biopsy procedure for the spot on Mom's lung went smoothly and they may get the results tomorrow. The physical therapist got her up and walking more today and Mom seemed to be more talkative today but still tired.
It's amazing how pooped I am without doing much today. Gonna read for a while.
