I’ve been busy

I’ve been really busy.  I have three active website clients right now where I usually prefer to handle one at a time.  The good thing about having three, though, is that it forces me to be methodical and helps me regard my work as a business.  It has been a business for awhile now….a fact that was driven home to me when my city called me up and said I have to buy a business license in order to legally do what I do.

Also my next door neighbor did move into a retirement home (assisted living apartment) and has needed a good bit of help in getting settled.  It’s going to be a wonderful place for her, and I’m very impressed with it.  She has a large apartment — 2 BR/2BA apartment with a large living room and a small kitchen alcove and wonderful windows.  It’s a very clean, sunshiny space.  I have had to interact with the staff on a daily basis and they have been unfailingly supportive, interested, and helpful.  She knows people who live there, and they have already reached out to her.

It’s just that this move came up so suddenly, she had no time to prepare herself, either practically or emotionally, and she’s also dealing with so many physical problems that she can’t do anything on her own to sort her situation out.  It’s truly a time for friends, neighbors and church friends to come to her aid (since she has no family anywhere nearby, and no close family at all.)   I’ve been running errands for her and visiting her daily, unpacking  her things in her new home and also just visiting.  Fortunately she has a couple of other faithful ladies from her church who have been extremely dedicated about making sure she’s taken care of.
