In addition to being back to blogging I have also returned to Twitter and have, as a result, come across some interesting reading material to pass on relating to workplace human rights issues. Here’s the latest from the Twitterverse for the two week period ending May 21, 2010:
So true whether in US or Cdn $. RT @GlendaWH: RT @Disabilitygov: most accommodations cost less than $500? http://bit.ly/cDcvDf

As I’m starting to adjust to the “new normal” that is now my life, I am slowly returning to working again, albeit part-time, and thought I’d attempt to start posting again too. I wanted to send my heartfelt thanks to those of you who responded to my last post regarding my mother passing away by sending me e-mails extending your condolences. Your kind words were very much appreciated.
It has been strange getting used to no longer having my parents around (dad predeceased my mom a number of years ago now). You wouldn’t think that at 40 you could feel like an orphan, but I have to admit I have had those feelings of late! The biggest adjustment, though, has been taking over the full-time care of my sister, who lives with disabilities. She had previously lived with my parents, and then my mother when my dad passed, her entire life. We are now a house of five, including my young twin daughters, my sister, myself and my husband (six, I guess, if you count the dog!). Makes for a very busy household and a schedule that I did not think could get any busier than it already was — but it has.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to getting back into blogging again. I’ll admit, it’s not going to be an easy task given all of the balls I am currently juggling. But, my new philosophy is to just keep on trucking ahead and hope for the best.
Cheers!
Donna
