My Average Week in 2026

I am NUTS!  My youngest is 18 and you'd think there would be some slowing down, but everything is moving at the speed of light....I can not be anywhere without something alerting me to the wherabouts and doings of my kids and husband....I'm juggling my career which I'm doing something I Love and truly helping people, but even the office can reach me anytime anywhere throught the computers running my home and car etc.    Technology has made it so that I don't have to miss anything going on in my kids lives or my career.  The technological advancements have helped make psychology such an exciting field...it doesn't take near as long to get results and therfore starting therapies to provide help almost immediately.  I love my life and that I get to help so many deserving people...and to think 15 years is such a short time :)

Google Knows Everything

I do find it disturbing that because I use Google, gmail etc that nothing is private.  We all use the internet with the assumption that at least some of the things we do/say are private.  To find out otherwise is disconerting at best.  I think that having us "control" our settings..including privacy settings is severely misleading because it gives us a false sense of security and privacy.  Currently, it would appear that just becuase Google knows all, does not mean that everyone knows all, but we don't know that for sure...it's unbelievable all the things to see that they know...I mean...where I am right now....everything about me because I use gmail....WOW!  I never really thought about it before, but now the wheels are really turning and the potential for living off the grid went from extremely difficult to impossible...at least if I want to socialize...or having running water and power :)
