Through Laura’s medical situation we have discovered that this and every community needs more nurses and home health workers. Our kids need to be made aware of these options because they will always have work because people get sick and need to get well all the time. It would be awesome to see more of our high school grads pursuing these occupations.

Twenty Years With WordPress.com. How Can That Be?
How can it be that I’ve been with WordPress.com for twenty years? Now, I haven’t posted here for twenty straight years. I was posting elsewhere like Tumblr and Google’s Blogger platform among others. To everyone who has visited here, read my posts, interacted with me, and shared their stories I thank you. This is a great community. Blogging is very much alive in the hearts and minds of those who believe in its power to tell a better story and share more.
Keep on Blogging Good People!
Welcome The Weekend
The weekend is here and I am glad. This feels like a weekend because I am scheduled to return to work remotely on Monday. I hope I remember how to do my job after a month away on family medical leave for my wife’s health scare. Let’s make it a good one good people.
Something About Health Care
My wife has been in the hospital since Saturday with a serious infection that required emergency surgery. She has had a couple other follow-up surgeries to be sure they got the infected stuff out. It’s been a week we never saw coming.
The good news is we have employers who are understanding and compassionate. Our health insurance is good. The hospital she is at is a wonderful place of great doctors, nurses, nurse techs and other staff. A true blessing if you ask me.
In the hospital where my wife is a patient are other people and other families who have their own health struggles. My heart goes out to them. Many are truly suffering serious illnesses and have been there much longer. I hope there will be healing and comfort for all.
Everyone has a right to good, quality, life sustaining healthcare. That is something that has been fought over for years. No country of any worth should deny their citizens the right to live because it’s too expensive. Many countries around the world make this a priority. Let’s hope America one day will really do the same. Everyone should have life and freedom from unnecessary pain.

Twelve Years At Blood Assurance – April 14, 2026
Twelve years ago today I began my work at Blood Assurance as a Telerecruiter. As I celebrate this work anniversary I think about the experiences and adventures I have had there. It hasn’t been easy, but my work there makes a difference.
Thanks to everyone along the way who have made this possible. Here’s to many more years down the road.
