Great idea Sandy. As you all know...right now I have to put that on hold because of Mom. But I still think about it everyday.

I think that after all I've been through with taking care of Mom and realizing that I can't do it anymore because she needs 24/7 care, that this probably isn't the field for me. I had thought I had finally found my calling, but it must have been a wrong number...

Not sure what I should do now. I do enjoy driving the bus, but it doesn't pay much. It's just really hard to find something at my age with good insurance. I'm keeping my eyes and ears open though, ya never know when an opportunity may come along and of course there is no hurry.

Janet, do you live close enough to Purdue to apply for a job there? Usually the working atmosphere is pretty good and the benefits are also usually very very good at a University. I don't know whether or not you have a college degree, but if you don't, there are usually many jobs at Universities that don't require one. We have several older women that work in the School of Nursing, some work part time and some full time. We have a receptionist in the Student Affairs office that all the students see first when they come in. She is such a wonderful lady, she is older and is so sweet and kind. I like it that our students see her first when they come in to our suite of offices.

Anyway, just a thought.

Thanks for the idea. I'm about 45- 60 minutes from my house to the campus. Bit of a drive, but I'm in no hurry...have plenty of things to keep me busy.
