Events of Late

Time I wrote an update.

A week ago I did a Genealogy Presentation at our local library. There were six ladies who signed up for the event. My main focus was on One Name Studies, but I was soon side tracked with many questions. I found this a great change from work and will now be a regular once a month hands on genealogy session at the Library when the library is closed to regular patrons. This will enable us to have all the computers for those who attend to have access to the Internet, where I will instruct them in how to go forward (or should the be backward) with their research. I'm really looking forward to helping others with their Family researches.

I find I have very little time, (no that isn't quite true) it's energy I don't have, to do very much on my own BOXALL One Name Study. Other than keeping up with requests for help from those who find my name on the Guild of One Name Studies, or are told about my research. I do very little additional work for fresh research. I find working full-time has eaten into many of my favourite past-times. Genealogy being one of them.

Other than genealogy I have always enjoyed in the past,cross-stitch and knitting. You would think I would be knitting up a storm with two new grand children on the way, I have one blue sweater partially done and about 6 rows of a little white jacket. Very poor showings for my new grandchildren. As for cross-stitch, I would love to start a new project but will not allow myself to do so until the current nativity scene is complete, It's not as if there is a lot of work on it to do, all that is left is the back-stitching, but there is a lot of back-stitching and this picture has worked on black cloth so can be quite a strain on my eyes.

I come home from work, sit in my chair, in front of the TV; most evenings. On the week-ends I spend time on the computer catching up with e-mail and answering any requests for help and spending time with Richard. As the weather warms up I shall be out working in the garden which will mean even less time for my leisure crafts. Although we are beginning to wonder if the weather will ever truly warm up this year. We are still starting our days of temperatures around 0 degrees Cel., which isn't much fun for walking to work or working in the garden.

You Are Bare Feet

You are a true free spirit, and you can't be tied down. Even wearing shoes can be a little too constraining for you at times! You are very comfortable in your own skin. You are one of the most real people around. You don't have anything to hide. Open and accepting, you are willing to discuss or entertain almost any topic. You are a very tolerant person. You are accepting and not judgmental. You should live: Somewhere warm You should work: At your own business, where you can set the rules

What Kind of Shoe Are You?

TIREDNESS OR ALLERGIES

Time has flown by and nothing new has been posted here for over a month. Just lately I find myself arriving home from work and sitting in my favourite chair, which of course is in front of the TV. There I remain until I fall asleep and hubby says, "sweetheart go to bed your exhausted. The trouble is I go to bed, sleep until about 2 am and wake-up, and I mean really wake-up, with no desire to sleep. During these wakeful times I find myself doing Sudoku puzzles for about an hour, once I start to drift off to sleep it is time to settle down again. The problem with this routine, I have to be up at 6:00 am in order to get ready for work.

I do accounting work at a hospital and need to be alert to stay focused on all those numbers. It doesn't help that I am in the middle of Year End preparation. The Auditors will here in two weeks time and I have only just printed my first draft of statements. Now comes the tedious task of reviewing all the departments Operational Statements. Once that is done I have to balance all the Balance Sheet accounts. The last task is to prepare the Auditors binder and my Year End Binder. Next week I have to send a copy of the Trial Balance to our Finance Officer for her to review and send me a list of entries she feels are necessary to complete the year. With all this to do and I am so tired, constantly.

I could be tired because we had snow for so long, and once again last weekend we had more of the white stuff and now today, May 3rd, it is snowing. Due to all the snow the snow mold was very bad and my allergies are acting up. The talk at the hospital is the amount of patients who are coming in with severe allergy problems, so I'm not alone. So I decided to take meds for the allergys and just incase I have a cold I'm taking stuff for that too.

I can't wait for our holidays this year. Usually we head to Milwaukee and visit with Laura, Aaron and family, around the middle of June. This year we can't afford to go very far, plus our Congregation has a group coming to run a Vacation Bible School the last week of June, so we have postponed holidays until June 28th. It seems so far away right now, maybe once I've finished with the Year End and the Auditors have finished I shall take a few days off.
