Feliz Ano Nuevo!

Yay!  It's 2011!  I'm having a beautiful time in San Juan- started work on Wednesday and so far I LOVE IT.   I'm tackling the medication room here and after 3 days, well, let's just say I STILL have lots of work to do.  However, organization and rearranging are high up on my list of favorite things (ask my former roomies how many times I rearranged the furniture in the house!) so I'm really enjoying it.  AND I'm learning stuff that I haven't thought of since nursing school.  In fact, I work with an old drug book (thanks Jville!) next to me and I pull it out often and look up the drugs to "file" them in the correct place.  

I am blessed to be surrounded by fantastic supportive folks.  Joe and Shannon, the Guesthouse Host/Hostess, are my bosses and couldn't be any more fun and supportive.   I'm psyched to be working with them.  Also, I've met the doctor and administrator (Dr. Canario and Bienvenida) that I'll be working with, as well as the greatest security detail ever, the guards who hold down the fort here and keep us safe and sound.    And sweet Margo works in the kitchen and in the Guesthouse rooms as well.   Everyone has been excited about what is happening here.  The first team arrives today and I'm EXCITED to get going.

I spent New Years Eve working most of the day and then attending a church service at the orphanage.  Great stuff.  Fantastic way to bring in 2011.  Now I'm up and at 'em.  I want to get my room in shipshape form for the group and do a few other things to prep.   January 1- HERE WE COME!

2010 was a great year- I'm feeling blessed by what God has done and what He continues to do in my life and in the lives of the folks I come in contact with.    Dios te Bendiga!

PS Here are some pix of what's going on...The one of me isn't great but you can see how beautiful it is where I live (my room is on the second floor...kinda above my head in the pic).   And then there is a shot of the medication room that I'm organizing.   GOOD TIMES!
