When you have options you have a chance for a change!

There are a few new things with me. I sort of started working with Dr.F. with research but no news about a grant yet. We meet once a week, him, his assistant and me. We discuss whatever they work on and I helped with one review project with AMJ article update. This week we met and they proposed something to me. It's a competition for a pilot study...very interesting and Dr.F proposed that I would do the application and introduction to get registered for the competition. I'm very excited!!! I will have to review papers and think about it. If we win, the grant would be release in august. My little dilemma with all of it....I'm pregnant!!! So I'm due November 8th. He he...yeaaah we're 7 weeks. I'm so happy!!! So I have to talk to them and discuss all that.
Another opportunity i got is doing assessment for insurance companies. That was so strange how I found out about it. There is a Russian guy, who works at HI and he came up to me and said "would you be interested in doing assessments?". Of course my answer was "YES" and I was in the middle of something in patient's room; so I came out and gave him my phone number. The bonus of having me for them is that I speak Russian and English since they often have Russian clients. Next thing I know I got a call and had a meeting that week. I had my first client last week. It took me a while to get through with documentation, but I did it, sent it, I still have to get paid, but I'm sure I will. Then we'll see how many clients I'll be getting.
Also, tomorrow I'll be starting on my own, without my great mentor, who I love. She'll be there though. It's a big day for me. I feel as though I can't leave, not until I prove to myself I can do it myself and then I can safely leave whenever I want to because I just know it's not my place, but it is an amazing journey and experience.

So lot's of news and they are all exciting, I almost feel overwhelmed a bit by all of it. However, I love it because when you have options you have a chance for a change!
