Updates (client, myspace, & pregnancy)...

So the bureaucratic powers that be have decided that I will only have to work with "Jane" (go here for more info) until June 30. They are going to re-vamp the program for those who are not at all work ready (as in, there is too much to do with them before actually going out and finding them a job). Technically, we are only supposed to work with those who are ready to find a job... somehow this new program (which will be "newer" come June 30) was just trying to get clients to vendors without assessing their work readiness. Basically, what that means is I have to come up with 6 hours a month to spend with Jane until the end of June (without having to find her a job). And then she will no longer be our client and will go back to the people that do the job readiness stuff. Maybe they will convince her that she should work:) Eventually, she could become our client again, once she is ready to work. In addition to her, I will also be working with one of our other clients who is in the same situation (although I think she actually wants to get a job). We'll see what happens...

I did post a picture on my myspace account. And Katie commented on my account and so now I'm falling deeper and deeper into it.

And my pregnancy is going well, thank God! I am now 28 weeks and will start seeing my doctor once a week, at least, until the baby comes. When I was pregnant with Pavlos I had to increase all of my meds and, so far, I have not had to do this. With Pavlos I was spilling protein in my urine and, so far, all my labs are negative. This is a huge deal because of all the things that can go wrong with my different health problems. So let's see how this last trimester goes:)

I guess that's enough for now... I am working on a short blog titled "Days I wish that I Smoked". I have to think my lovely sister, Katherine, for that line and the idea:)

Hahaha... there have been times I wish I smoked, even though I've never smoked before. Something about the sheer relaxation that it seems to invoke. Going out on the steps, having an excuse to blank out while you take a drag of cancer stick...

:D

I'm SO glad your pregnancy is going well, Christina! Glory to God!

Giggle. Thankfully I drink coffee, it's kind of like smoking in that you get breaks for it :)

Whohoooo on the good baby news - I loved when you got closer to baby's arrival and went to the caregiver more often.

Blessings Christina,

Thank you for the comment, it helps a lot. It's good to know some people know what I mean when I meantion morality. What the media covers as morals is not always morality as a whole, there are more issues than two.

Congratulations on the pregnancy. I pray that the remainder of it goes as well as it has thus far.

Lastly, I notice you're from Portland. I'm wanting to making a move up there in the future! But, as most of my friends at St. Andrew in Riverside said, once I meet Father Josiah you won't want to leave his parish... Although, I think my dislike of Southern California surpasses my respect and enjoyment of Father Josiah being the priest at the church I'm attending.
