There are several reasons that I have become somewhat disconnected from the blogosphere lately:
1. I have made Anthony’s nursing home room a simulation of our home;
2. I’ve become addicted to the Danish series, The Killing;
3. I’m preoccupied with crafting a present for my mother’s soon-to-be 80th birthday;
4. I have given up on trying to tempt Ming with my ox-tail stew;
5. My volunteering in the dementia ward on the weekends is a gift to me because, years ago, when I worked as a nurse in various nursing homes, there was never any time to actually chat with patients; now it is actually something that is scheduled!
So, I have decided to go for a job at the nursing home in the hope that my so-far volunteering reputation will help.

Go for it girl – all the best of luck!
Wish you the best in your search for that job.
Good for you…..
It sounds like life has mellowed a bit and you are enjoying it! How cool are you to find volunteering a gift?!
I will have to check out that series.
Good luck Jules xoxo
Hope you get a job there… nursing homes need more people like you who care… Keep in touch though once in a while… I know you’ll have your priorities … Diane
Good luck!! They would be so so lucky to have you (they already are)!
Congratulations!
Good luck, Julie. xx
Good luck with the job and I am confident that you will get it; they must know that they have a gem right in front of them 😀 Hugs Jules!
You go girl! All the best for the job interview. Rooting for you Jules. 😊
All good reasons for being away from the blogosphere!
I hope you get it. The result will be, I think, a very satisfied and contented you.
You are awesome, Julie. I wish you the best of luck; I think they would be lucky to have you!
Good luck to you Julie! ❤

Yeah, gotta love The Killing. Not enough seasons if you ask me… xoxoxoxo
fantastic idea, jules )
Good luck!
The Killing is well worth becoming addicted to.
Good luck!
i love all the Danish series that have been on TV, Julie – they are definitely addictive. I find the very best is always on late at night though.
Good luck with your application to work permanently again. Nursing is definitely a vocation that is yours and I have no doubt your volunteering will help. Doing the things we love in life is precious and definitely worth pursuing and what better way to connect with Anthony than to work in his place of residence. In this way, you can be there for not only him, but all the other residents who need such care.
The Blogasphere fills a gap when we need it, but we can come to depend on it too much instead of living in the real world around us. Vicki xo
I hope you can get a job at the nursing home, I wish I was good at crafts but I am not so I don’t do any.
so happy you have found a way for you to do something that gives you joy and reward! i admire your ability to have an open mind to new possibilities.
sending love and hugs to you my friend
Good Luck they would be fools not to hire you xxx
Sounds like a good fit!
I would hire you on the spot!! You are a gift to them!
This is exciting news, Julie. When will you know?
BTW, we got hooked on The Killing too. It was very good!
