A Bad Morning
Today was not exactly a good day... not by a long shot. An elderly woman passed away this morning, and being a Nurse Aide, one job that isn't the greatest is preparing said dead woman. We had to wash her up, make her beautiful, and then, after she was viewed by her family, we wrapped her in a shroud and took her to the morgue.
And that, was just my morning.
The rest of my day went quickly. I received a call from the Personal Care Home, I'm still an employee. That's good, and bad. I believe that Chad's loan went through, but I don't know for certain and I don't want to jinx it. We're keeping our fingers crossed.
Well, thats all for now. Happy April Fool's Day!

[Link] | Well peeps, I did a crazy thing yesterday. I went to work at the county home 8-4, like always; then I went to work at the personal care home from 4:15 til 8pm. Now, there are a two girls there that have been giving me nothing but grief and aggravation since Day 1... well, one of them started there shit again, and I simply decided that I just didn't get paid enough to put up with her shit; so, I grabbed my stuff and walked out (at 5:30). =o0 I like the fact that I don't have to deal with those bitches anymore, but I really liked working there. Oh well, I guess I will get over it!
As for the myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/If_I_know_me
Like I said, its nothing fancy. =o)
Chad and I went to fill out the loan papers on the 26th (Angela's b-day). Now, we just have to sit back and wait. (Afterall, who can relax?) We so need to get the hell out of this house. My uncle is acting very strange and frankly, I just don't feel like I can relax around the house, and it makes me uneasy.
That's all for now, there's a baby downstairs that I must go see.
Current Mood:  blah

Ang is 21!!!
Happy (Belated) Birthday darling! (Did you get my text early in the morn?)
I'm starting a page at myspace.com; if anyone wants to check it out. it's new, and nothing special so don't feel obligated. LOL.
Thats all for now, I'm going to jump into the shower, I think.

Colostomy change?!?
Chad and I have placed a bid on a house. Wish us luck guys!
I have come to figure out that my new job will not give me weekends off for a whole month. That bites some majorly huge ass balls! Not to mention, that I'm trying to work in two different places... its not so easy, anymore. My feet are killing me; even as I sit at the computer, they are throbbing.
I changed my first colostomy bag today! (Cat-ate-the-canary grin) It was fowl smelling and nasty, but I did a super job! =o) And, I think I'm gunna give up chocolate. =oP
Tomorrow is payday, which is good; I'm broke and in need of cash. Some more good news is that I get paid again, on Wednesday. =o) Perhaps working two jobs will pay off?
That's all I can think of for now... I'm gunna go prop my feet up and pray that no one bothers me for atleast fifteen minutes. Lata!

A Long and Overdue Update
Oh my goodness! I can't remember the last time I was on here.... thats pretty bad.
Chad and I are looking at houses... yes, Ang, I've considered it. He makes me very happy and I'm truly grateful to have him in my life. Nothing is certain yet, so don't fret too much. As for a house payment, think of it like rent, but we'll own it afterwards. =o)
I've started another job, working with the elderly at the county home. It's an okay job, at times. It gives me evenings off, so I still work at the personal care home. AHHHH!!!!
I've been extremely busy lately. But I still miss all my Michigan buddies... I haven't forgotten about yens!!!!

One For The Thumb!!!
Steelers won SuperBowl 40 (XL)!!! 21 to 10. Finally achieving that "one for the thumb." Victory is sweet, especially in Detroit.
How are the Pistons doing??? Last I heard, they won 39 out of their 45 games so far. Go Pistons!
I am relieved. I talked to my dad today and am feeling good. That's all for now, I have to get ready to shower and shit.

[Link] | Dispite a minor "oops" earlier in the week, I am doing extremely well... I almost burnt the old folks' home down! Who knew I'd be blonde enough to put a pot holder on an electric (and very on) burner? Thus, I earned the nickname 'Pyro'. Thank goodness the fire alarms didn't go off... could yens imagine almost 40 old people with walkers rushing to the doors? Complete and utter chaos!
With the above situation forgotten, I am pretty excited!
My CNA class starts February 8th. I went out and bought scrubs and clean white shoes. (Boy, will I look dorky in clean white shoes in the middle of mud season? Especially since I'm used to looking at my feet with boots on.) I am starting school/class and finally doing well.
The weather here is beautiful today. It's hard to believe that a few days ago, it snowed a few inches. =o)
I got my work schedule and amazingly, I don't work Super Bowl Sunday. (GO STEELERS!) I went and bought a Steelers shirt... it says, "If you ain't a Steelers fan, you ain't Shit!" I love it. =o) There will be a Super Bowl Party at my grams, I believe. Party! So, who is everyone rooting for?!? I've heard that, due to the Super Bowl, there will actually be cops in Detroit... guess those city tax-payers will finally stop complainning. hehe.
Chad and I might be moving in together. At first, I was scared, petrified even; however, Chad and I discussed it, and well, I'm excited about that too. =o) Life is going pretty good. Not too mention, the house we thought was no longer for sale, may just still be! =o) (Yay!)
The only thing that puts a damper on my mood is knowing that I have taxes to do. =oP
Current Mood:  ecstatic

Pittsburgh's Going to the Super Bowl!!!
I have an interview for the CNA class today. =o) I'm a lil tired, but otherwise okay. I spent all day yesterday rearranging furniture in my bedroom and cleaning a turtle tank. The room looks good, we seem to have more space and later, I'm cleaning out my closet.
Steelers won the game last night... so Pittsburgh's going to the Super Bowl. (Here We Go!) I'm hoping that maybe Chad and I will come up to 'tailgate'. hehe.
Speaking of Chad, there's been talks of marriage and buying a house. Later today, when Chad gets off of work, we are going to look at this one house we saw up for sale. Its in the process of being remodelled... not something I know anything about, but Chad does and I guess thats all that matters.
I missed the Auto Show this year. =o( That bums me out; however, Pittsburgh had World of Wheels or something, and I still didn't go. I'm trying to see about going to Monster Jam- you know, monster trucks destroying shit... pretty damn cool, if you wanna know the truth. This is the last year they will be at the SilverDome, or so I've heard.
Well, thats all the news for now. Hopefully I'll be there to root on the Steelers at Super Bowl 40.

[Link] | Today is "What"'s 20th birthday. Anyways, not much new here... I have been feeling very fat the past couple of days... I need some exercise. That's all for now... I have to get ready for work. =oP

[Link] | I talked to Jason (aka: "WHAT?!") last night and today. It felt really good to talk to him again.
Tomorrow is my day off, thank goodness, and I'm babysitting. No biggie though, cuz I will accomplish laundry, cleaning, and loads of other things I didn't get around to.
Yesterday, despite working til 11pm, was a great day; today is an okay day... and hopefully, tomorrow will be better. =o)

[Link] | Goodness, how long has it been since I've been on a computer?! Almost a week, I think. I'm feeling pretty low today. I feel like I should just crawl back into bed and only wake up when absolutely necessary.
Today, I checked my email and received one from a certain person. I believe that is what put me into my shitty mood. I am trying not to let such trivial things and minute people get to me... but I know how Angela feels... if he is all you've known for so long, it is hard. And, even though it doesn't seem like it right now, it will get easier. Just don't be afraid; live life and remember, if you don't do it, you'll always wonder, "what if?". I am very proud of myself for not replying. =o) (Secret #2: Take pride/celebrate little steps/things.) I often wonder why I think of that person at all... then I realize that we never said "goodbye"; we left things up in the air, so to speak. Maybe, some closure will help... but I don't think I'm ready to dial those digits just yet. Maybe, I will email them my closure... after posting it and getting feedback. What yens think?
It's Lindsay's 21st birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (now she is an old fart too!)

[Link] | I received a call this morning... my CNA class may start in February. I'm pretty excited, relieved and a little scared.
I'm feeling loads better and am spending my day off rearranging furniture in my room (that'll be Sunday).
I've made a few resolutions, but don't know if they will stick throughout 2006. I'd like to start eating better, drinking less pop, and not stressing out so damn much. Yens can only imagine me stressing out over something so little and trivial... pathetic, I know.
I got my hair cut, and now, I'm not liking it. =oP I'm thinking of dyeing it, but everyone says I should just leave it be. Any suggestions?

[Link] | Hey peeps! I've been fairly stressed out lately... and a little sick. I'm getting better slowly, I think.
I can't help feeling like a failure of sorts these past few days. I missed the deadline for the nursing program here, and I am not telling a soul in my family... they would all bitch at me, and that is something I cannot take at the moment. I feel like I'm letting everyone down, failing. I'm sick of everything, and almost everyone....
How was everyone's New Year? What's your resolution?

[Link] | I can't say I'm in the Christmas spirit. I was earlier, I swear, but now, I don't care. I feel terrible, and I'm not sure why. I feel unloved and unwanted. I think moving here was a horrible idea... but its already been done.

01:55 pm
[Link] | I'm back to the grinding wheel of work... I feel like a work-aholic. Oh well. My mother flies in tomorrow. I'm excited, 'cept I gotta work til 9pm. My aunt thinks I should spend the night with my mom and sister (at sister's place). Apparently, no one other than me goes crazy when they spend time with their sister. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but I can only handle so much of my sister, and I prefer small doses of it. Driving to Michigan to get my brother, which is about 6 hours one way, was a little too much too close to the holidays. =oP
Felt sick to my stomach last night. Damn green veggies!

Tips for Women
My mother emailed me this, and needless to say, I think it is true... to a point. Hell, if yens are lucky enough to find one man that'll do everything, then I say do everything not to blow it and lose him.
Five tips for a woman....
1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you.
4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.
Foot Note:
One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob:
"If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts."
I prolly won't be on here much before Christmas eve, because I have to work. I got kicked out of the kitchen the other night so my b/f could show my aunt what he obtained for me for the holiday. I agree with Julianne on that... spending 1000s is not the meaning of Christmas, and I think that society has lost that, a long time ago. That said, Merry Holidays, and Happy New Year!

[Link] | I drive in to Michigan tomorrow. I'm pretty damn excited. Work was crazy; I got stuck there an extra half-hour because of an old lady had a puking problem. It was... akward. We fed her potato soup for supper, yet she barfed up green shit (not literal shit), and carrots! Gross! And it reeked, and stunk up the room. Gag!

[Link] | I haven't updated in a long ass time. Sorry bout that. Life's been pretty shitty with my two parents duking it out for my brother, putting me in the middle. I can't say that I've been sleeping good; except the last two nights seemed fairly decent. For some strange reason I keep waking up at two or three in the morning... I blame someone for stealing the covers and allowing me to freeze my ass off. (GRRRR) LOL.
My aunt thinks that because I've been so "down" lately, that I should go on antidepressants. Needless to say, I totally disagree. Anyone in my situation would feel down. Afterall, how many fathers DON'T want their daughter home for Christmas? I've got a few more gifts to buy... and my mother flies in from Florida in one week. I look forward to seeing her.
I guess thats all for now. There isn't much more to say.

[Link] | This one will be quick guys. I'm picking up my brother Sunday, the 18th and driving home the 19th, but not til after he's outta school. Since school is out, i'm game for anything while my dad is sleeping... seeing as how i'd like to see him alittle. (strange, i know). as for the impending holidays, "Merry Holidays and Shit" (I'm in a baaa-humbug kinda mood; sorry to piss anyone off). Lata.
