Memorial Day 2021
Hello!
How has your spring been going so far? Weather has been perfect, and I was finally able to get some gardening done. John took me flower shopping, and everything we bought was purple. I’m going to need more, but it’s going to have to wait until next weekend. One thing I got done was to sort of pretty up the view from my office, and have succeeded, but still a few things left I want to do.
My job is going good, I’m still happy there, and am looking forward to learning more and getting better at things. Working from home is an absolute dream come true. I take about 90-120 calls a day.
My two kitties have grown up and are a year old, got them both fixed. I’m not exaggerating when I say they follow me everywhere. I love their personalities.
We got a new avaiary, and successfully transferred all 38 of them from their previous home to the new one. I love it.
Take care,
April Osbourne

New job
Greetings!
I’m delighted to report that I have found a fantastic new job. I can’t say enough about the integrity, kindness, compassion, and patience I’ve experienced in the last 2 months.
This is a work from home position, they provided the computer equipment, all the interview processes was done virtually. Honestly, it’s a prayer answered. I have a great home office set up downstairs, with a window facing my front yard.
Interestingly, as soon as I left my previous place of employment, all of my Crohns symptoms vanished, and have not returned. Success with Stelara? Or no longer being in a stressful toxic environment daily?
You can draw your own conclusions.
Happy Spring!

Winter 2020 update
Greetings!
I realize its been a bit since I've posted an update, however the world sucks right now, and I simply didn't have the urge to type up an update.
I am no longer employed with Hunter Douglas as of June - they closed the location I worked from and did not offer a stay at home option.
When I was first let go, I honestly thought that me finding a new job wouldn't be that bad. With COVID + Crohn's Disease though, it changed the landscape of the jobs I wanted to apply for.
I am primarily focusing on work from home employment, for obvious reasons. I've noticed the pay typically sucks, but I haven't given up yet.
I just signed up for "MNSURE" health insurance, so fingers crossed that it is adequate enough to cover things, until with any luck the US Government can get their head of their ass and get the US some universal coverage...
John and I adopted 2 kittens from a gal in town. Originally I was only going to adopt one, Maverick, but the gal we got them from said they're very very bonded (true!), and would we consider taking both? Sure! So far, its gone great, no major issues. They both get "fixed" December 4th.
In other news, John bought me a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix - and get this - its PURPLE!
We got it cheap, and the miles it has is 100,000, which is less than the car I am driving has. John did a TON of work on it to get it to a place where he was happy.
Hope all is well with anyone reading this, say a few positive words or prayer that employment finds its way to me.
April

Change of Habit
If you're in old habits
Changes are a-comin'
For these are changing days
While things are goin' on
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit
To let your temper fly
When you talk with people
Who don't see eye to eye
There's a newer world ahead
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit
A change of heart, you'll be all right
The halls of darkness
Have doors that open
It's never too late
To see the light
Of putting people down
Just because they're different
From the wrong side of town
They're pinning none on you
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit

November Osbourne Update
Recently, we've had some rodent issues in the lower level of our house. We initially discovered it because we have a series of cameras in our home that are triggered by motion. One morning I was checking the alerts for the camera, and there was a few around 1:30am in our downstairs. Ok. I clicked on the video and damn was I surprised to see a mouse literally RIGHT in front of the camera. Another time I was using the downstairs bathroom, and I happen to glance to the left to the hallway and saw a mouse run by. Ok. Yep. Its time to get some traps.
We got a bunch of sticky traps and traditional mouse traps and this week we've killed 6. SIX!! Funny, John inspected each kill and determined they were 3 different species of mouse. The other day he was taking a sticky trap with 2 mice on it outside to the trash, and the second the cold air hit the mice, they both started to wiggle. I would have dropped it an ran. LOL
I'm getting close to borrowing one of my BFF Kim's 4 cats.
Our hot water heater kicked the bucket, so that was a delightful unexpected expense. The last item in our house that needs replacement is our furnace, that came with the house when it was built in 1996.
As far as work goes, I'll quote Kevin Arnolds Dad from the TV show "The Wonder Years" :
Work is work.
