Have you?
Sorry it's been a week since I've posted folks. Life has gotten a bit busier than normal. I do still work, but then you all probably know that. What's been the added business of late is getting involved in a local community effort to save our 911. Our city manager and council want to outsource it to save money; but many of us in the community feels it's super important not to do that. We feel saving lives is more important than trimming costs. Our particularly safety services has been rated as one of the top 8 in the country and the city they want to outsource to has dispatch times much much slower. At a minimum 4 x slower. Having been in the medical field (and I know many of you are), I know how important time is in an emergency. So, we've been having meetings to explain to the public the downside of this, walking door to door passing out flyers and obtaining signatures.
The plus side of things, with all the walking to pass out flyers etc, I'm getting LOTS of steps in. I've posted before about how important getting steps is (I wear a fitbit) to help with my arthritis and to reduce cholesterol...so things in that department are doing well.
Enjoy the funny, hope you're all doing well and enjoying August........can't believe how fast the summer has gone. People are talking about football (groan), and buying back to school clothes and supplies already. Time sure goes fast.
