Hi Marilyn, am glad to know that you are o.k.
I had a customer that happened, to, though she was much older in her 80s. I
called her on Thursday morning to remind her of our appointment on Friday.
My supervisor was with me as it was her first time out to see me do
assessments, and well... Friday morning, we go to the home and ... lights
on, no one comes to the door and meals on wheels is sitting at the door not
picked up. Thought very strange. Came back to the office, and left a note
with the social worker that the appointment wasn't kept. Found out later,
the following week on Tuesday that she had passed away, on Thursday night.
Sigh. I reckon it comes with the job, smile.

Hi, Shelley. Hi, All.
Not to worry, Shelley, I'm fine, although I certainly do appreciate the
concern. Picture me at my laptop, on the kitchen table, with the TV on
in
the living room tuned to the political channels, two Shih-Tzu dogs
sleeping
on various pieces of furniture in said living room, and I'm validating
pretty
much all day. My email box is also open all day, so I see all the emails,
I
read them all, I LOL along with you when appropriate. I pluck most books
off of Step 1 or after I see a "Just Submitted" message that interests
me, and
I work on "Sighted Help Needed" books as often as I can. And I'm happy
as
a pig in poop.
On another subject, to make a very, very long story ridiculously short,
in the
late 1980s my mother sent me, in the middle of a work day, into Queens,
NY,
to check on her sister, my dear Aunt Rose, who hadn't been heard from
since
she left work sick on Monday. This was Wednesday. You can guess the
rest, which was shocking and sad. Rose was 49 years old.
So, if you don't hear from me for days, and I don't answer email for
days,
feel free to please call my husband Kevin at work, (631) 588-9500, and
ask
what's going on. I would appreciate it. Our home phone is (631 750-3205,
but he never answers the phone.
Happily Lurking,
Marilyn
