How was my week?
This week was pretty easygoing, except for Wednesday when we met with the state for our caregiving jobs. Those are always nerve-wracking. Someone in your home judges you and tells you how many hours you will be awarded and if you can keep your job. I finished two very emotional books this week. One was for my Library Book Club, The Five Wishes of Mr. Murrary Mcbride; the other was for the In Case You Missed It Challenge and The Storied Life of A.J. Fick. Both were very good, but I avoided a tear-jerker for a bit. I hope you had a great week. Happy reading.

The evaluation certainly sounds nerve wracking. Do their share their results while there or do you have to wait for their findings? I definitely need to take a break after very emotional books. I gravitate to light and easy after one of those.
No we have to wait it basically they do a calculation to tell us how many hours we get paid per month. Though we provide 24/7 care since we live in the home with the client. We get no breaks, there no subs and no vacation. It nerve wracking cause they could find something to be nit picky about like last year it was the state of the ramp of that we had to build to get the client to be able to get into the house. state would not pay for it so we built it. It not covered so every year in the spring we go out and shore it up and replace the boards well last year they visited before the weather cleared enough for us to do that. so this year they were looking extra hard at the ramp. thanks for stopping by my blog.
You Ave definitely impressed me again, Jan. I really am determined to use Bookly. However, this morning I read a couple of hours of Bleak House but forgot to log it.
