I am not moving

Several weeks ago in response to a challenge by my sister in law to post a response in support of breast cancer awareness. Based on the month and day you were born you said "I am moving to somewhere for x months". It prompted a side bar conference of my daughters and a call to my husband to ask when I was leaving. The simple answer was no and why. The longer conversation with my wee tots was that I don't communicate and that in fact they thought it totally plausible they would find out something life changing on Facebook or my blog. I promised to try harder and remember to call when something happened that I would want to know about them. So here goes. Last Friday on the way to meet friends for dinner I was rear ended at a traffic light. It was a dark and rainy night and we were at the light a half block to the restaurant when wham. Luckily she was slowing down. All is well. My boat of a car absorbed the shock with little visible damage. Th other driver buckled her hood but could drive away. Car goes in to the shop next Friday and will be repaired. Her insurance had been great. I am pretty sure she felt slightly faint when our friends walked down to help us and I leveraged my handicapped spouse with both legs in braces out of the car and our friend got the wheel chair out to drive him to the restaurant while the police filled out the report. Maybe that is why their medical claims person calls me every other day to see how we are feeling! Other great news. Bruce is out of one leg brace and can bend the other leg. It gives him a huge amount of freedom. We leave Saturday for a 5 day sales conference in Las Vegas. I get to go along as his health aide and add my two cents during the data center migration session as a project manager. Great visibility for me that will hopefully add more work to my dance card. I will also be scouting out a great massage during the day hours when the poor therapists are hoping for work from people who are sober. Now for the promo of Charlotte news. It has been wonderful. Very few cold days. The jonquils are blooming and the mocking birds doing their "ain't I cute" dances in hopes of attracting mates. Children who move closer to their parents have doting Nana's ready to spoil the wee ones. And this is a wonderful place to work. Keep it your thoughts. Move South!
