Job Search Update & My Sis

Today I got a call telling me I start training on May 24th, 2010 for a new job as a Pharmacy Patient Enrollment Representative at Liberty Medical here in Port St. Lucie. I'm so happy to have finally found a job in this economy. I struggled for a month submitting possibly 50 or 60 applications & turning to countless job boards such as Monster.com, CareerBuilder, ApplyHire.com, jobbingtree.com, WorkforceFlorida.com, EmployFlorida.com & more.
Finally, someone said YES! I feel so much better about it that now I can start focusing more on other things like my Family & close friends. I think my Mom is always there for me anytime I need her & my Sis is too. She & I are usually pretty busy & I don't take enough time for Sis for the last decade or so but that is changing (big smile) because she is my only sibling so I'm going to extend more attention to her & hopefully we will get closer again. I really miss that. I actually realised sometime back that I barely know my Sis & I feel sad for that. I blame myself totally because she makes efforts & it's unfair to her. So to my Sis, if you read this at any point, even after everything is all said & done at the end of the day, just know that you are my Hero & you Inspire me to be a much better person/doing better things with my time & life.
I Love You Jolén!! I Love You too, Mom!! :-)

Pet Supplies

The last time I was at PetSuperMarket, I faced an interesting dilemma. I realised it would not be a good idea to switch back to the clay based Cat Litter that I used for a decade since it is mined from the earth but often does not do well when disposed of. It does not seem to break down well. I had switched to litter that is corn based and it has a much shorter life than the clay litter. I decided to switch to a wheat based cat litter instead. Since I have barely switched, I do not yet have a reasonable critique of the product. I did the switch because I am trying to use more Ecologically friendly products. I find that some Cat Litter is biodegradeable & recycled while the packaging itself does not specifically say if it is recyclable or that it can be recycled. I no longer purchase the clay based litter in plastic containers. There is 1 brand of litter that is both biodegradeable & reclyclable as well as the packaging, also made from recycled materials. I plan to experiment with this litter in the future but for now I have lots of the wheat based litter to try. It's supposed to manage odors better than the other types of litter that I have used. We'll see.

Great Grandma's Birthday

Today Adele St. Peter would have been 104 years old. She was Mom's Grandma.

Happy Birthday Great Grandma.

It is also the 98th Anniversary of the Titanic hitting an iceberg which caused her to sink to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

Rest in Peace.

New Beginning

Hello Everyone,

I'm starting a new blog since my Sister inspires me to do it & I thoroughly enjoy her posts.
I've been deciding on different things that impact our world & I want to reduce or eliminate my Carbon Footprint to the best of my ability. I also find that since my electricity that I enjoy is fed to me by the Power Grid, it tends to cancel out some of my footprint reduction efforts, which is NOT enjoyable.
I am going to start using LED Lightbulbs as soon as I can start buying them. I no longer wish to use the Compact Flourescent Bulbs as they contain high amounts of Mercury & I have to specially package them to be sent away for recycling, thus, once again cancelling out some of my efforts to save energy & the environment. Since the light bulbs are hazardous, which most sources refuse to acknowledge, I am trying to gently bring this to light with people whom I come into contact with.
If I ever can, I want to switch to Solar Energy & try composting in some fashion.
Meanwhile, my Cousin Andrea is considering purchasing a rain barrel & am I very pleased to encourage that. I will see if I can help out with hunting for a good one. It will capture rain water to use in the Gardens.
More next post. Until next time!
