My views on religion are varied.  I was sent to church with the neighbors as a small child.  It was a Pentacostal church.  Lots of rolling around in the pews and such.  I have fond memories of those days.  As I grew up I didn't really go to church regularly but my mom did take us for a while to the Church of Christ. I loved the singing and was ( Read more... )

My views on drugs and alcohol:  Having tried just about everything out there I feel I have somewhat of an educated opinion on the whole matter of drugs and alcohol.  First off let me say that alcohol is by far the most damaging mind altering substance out there.  It makes you lose your mind if you over indulge and it literally makes you do things ( Read more... )

I would like to be alive!  If that doesn't happen I would like to be in Heaven!  I want to be completely out of debt, comfortable and hopefully retired and sharing life with someone special.  Oh and I want to be healthy.

I am following along with babeofbryan so if she misses a day I will to as I don't have a copy of the meme ( Read more... )

Sunday! All I did was clean and do laundry.  I really have no life other than work and walking the dogs.  SD came by yesterday and I was this close to letting him come back and spend some time together.  He had called and said he would be here is "a little bit"  2 hours later I still hadn't heard a word.  So glad I didn't totally let my guard down ( Read more... )

Still here and still reading the few posts that are available.  Seems like there are not many people left here anymore.  I guess it doesn't really matter, the main reason I journal here is so that I can go back and read what I was doing a year or two ago and where I was emotionally.  I suppose it would make better sense to do it on paper where it ( Read more... )

Getting ready to start my 4th week at work.  Time has really flown by.  I am 3 weeks into living alone.  It is not so bad really.  I enjoy being able to do what I please.  I thought the LH and I would still see one another now and then but he doesn't even call me really.  I am a bit disappointed with that and I am not sure why.  I guess I just get ( Read more... )

Well I am about 2 weeks into the job. So far so good.  I am still trying to learn what I am really supposed to be doing.  I have been doing a lot of observing and have a few really good ideas.  I am going to be instituting a few this week.  The most interesting things I am learning is how to deal with the personalities at work.  It is a real hoot ( Read more... )

I am all the way moved into the new apartment.  I thought I had really downsized a lot, but I still have way too much stuff!  It seems I have too much kitchen stuff.  I had to give away a whole box of stuff today, a brand new set of dishes included.  Just do not have room for anymore.  I also have too many kitchen appliances, like a griddle and a ( Read more... )

Day 4 at work and I have truly done nothing.  I did sit in on an assessment today.  Assisted living is so different from Long term care.  What took the nurse almost an hour to do today I could have done in less than half that time.  I could tell that the new residents were even growing tired of her tedious questioning.  I will have to say she was ( Read more... )
