Well, it has been 2 months (maybe a little longer if you count days – but who is counting) since I last posted and said I was going to get better about posting. As you can see it did not happen. Alas I failed at that attempt but here it goes again.

Much has happened in the past few months but I feel that progress is at a slow crawl. Every day is a rush and blur but where am I really going? I know I am not getting there very fast even though it seems as if I am off at a feverous pace.

My son is home from Marine boot camp. He made it 11.5 weeks of the 13 prior to getting “separated”. I had hoped that he would be going back in 6 months to repeat but it appears that everyone wants to be a Marine and he could not go back for at least a year with the current recruiting levels so he may go to a different branch after his 6 months is up.

Work is busy but it seems that our profit margin is ever shrinking and I have made all the cuts that I feel I can make for now. It is a wait and see with our industry and I feel as if we have been on the hamster wheel dealing the requirements that keep changing and being added to in order to continue to bill Medicare. And America wants to know why it cost so much for Medical Equipment, because it cost our company an extra $5,000.00 per year to be accredited and have a Surety Bond! Both of which are new requirements over the past few years.

Employees still never cease to amaze me at what they will come up with and how shocked they will be when you try to hold their feet to the fire. Accountability – everyone should learn the definition of the word and not be surprised by it!

So, with that all said as quickly as possible I must be off to try to complete as much as possible within the time allowed and hope that it is good enough for this one day.

Good luck with your day!
