Finally a day off!
It has been a crazy two weeks. Last week we spent getting ready for the Summit, putting together the handouts, copying and trying to do all the regular office activities to boot. Sandra’s printer died and my computer has been dead since early February so I have been using Patricia’s since she uses it remotely. I was finishing up the window repair at home which got picked up the day before Summit started.
The Summit went well. We had 97 attendees. It was great to meet names to go with the faces. Lots of kudos for the staff on the work we have done this past year. Also got to hang out with old NRA friends that I had met at National Training Conference in Louisville. We worked long days but found time to let down our hair and even enjoy extracurricular activities. I am still recovering from sleep lost but it was well worth and I look forward to next year’s Summit.
So this week was clean up in the office, picking up odd jobs left till after Summit. Today I will pick up Sandra’s printer and drop of my hard drive so Abi can load stuff on my new computer. I will be the envy of the office with the fastest computer there. Don’t tell them I said that or they will be giving me more work!
Sunday Nancy and I head to Bear, Delaware to represent NRA at Delaware Rehab Association Conference. The pressure is on…. will we be good ambassadors for the NRA? You bet. We are ready! Road trip.
We talked to Christopher Kempski during the Summit and he is looking forward to having NRA staff at the NERA Conference in July. Look out New York here we come.
In the studio… the workbench is empty, no repairs at this time so I am working on making the molds for my new PMC pendants. I am really looking forward to starting this line. As soon as the ground dries a little more I will be getting the faceting machine from the shed and cranking that bad boy up. Can not wait to facet my first stone! I get get a couple of rough stones from Art to practice with. Will let you know when hand how it goes.
Well the weather is beautiful out and the animals are begging tot go out so I think I will take a cup of coffee out and sit in the yard with the boys and watch the grass grow for a little bit before I jump into the day.
