I have been so dang busy!!!  You see, I have switched jobs.  I now work for my county.  Benefits are great!!!!!  I started there on 10-14-08.  I will get benefits after 6 months.   I earn 6 hours sick leave and 6 hours vacation every month.  The best part is.... after I am vested with the county (8 years) then my 15 years with the school will transfer over!

Sounds great Donnia and looks good on you.  Sounds like the kidney is doing well and that's the best thing of all.
