Things are looking UP! Today I signed an agreement with a new agency. 2 of our current workers are going to continue on with this new agency and another of our girls will also return after her maternity leave. This is such a huge relief.
I met with the new company today and there were almost no "hitches". Just one that they're pretty sure they can work out. It is a biggie but I will remain positive that they can figure it out. For those in the nursing industry - it is about using lifts. We have a new ceiling lift. This company a 2 person lift policy. We live in a rural area so having 2 people is not practical as the lift is used app 3 times per day.
One of our workers quit today. I had hoped she would be able to stay until the transition in 9 days but she was hired with a new agency that needed her to begin work immediately. We have parted on good terms. She has agreed to work occasionally on a private basis for overnight care when I'm away. She got a better financial deal with the new company so I'm happy for her.
So I have informed the WITCH with a B and I have taken the high road (as always) - saying thanks for Ryan's care for the past 2 years (the care WAS good). But I am kicking up my heels and counting down the minutes until she is GONE FOR GOOD!!!
That's my good news. Oh wait - there's more...
My daughter has decided to move up here for the summer and work here. She is coming for Mother's Day and has job interviews lined up. I'm pretty excited because I've been alone a lot during the week. Josh and I will read her "the Riot Act" to be sure it will go well. But I am HAPPY!!!
And I'm going on a cruise to Alaska!!! I had wanted to go on a cruise for Miniature Artisans but did not have a roomie (Josh did not want to go). Then someone dropped out and I got the spot. Not till Labour Day but still - something special to look forward to.
