Learning To Breathe

This title is fitting for today, because I can't breathe. I have a cold. I normally wouldn't mind having a cold, because then I would get to call in sick and just lounge around the house all day. Unfortunately, my boss is out of town, so I have to go in. I just don't want to get all my residents sick. They already have the flu! And, I have a weakened immune system, so I can pretty much guarantee that I will catch what they have. Yuck. Along with the cold, I have a really sore throat and a timid voice. This isn't so good when exercise has to be taught and BINGO has to be called. If I cancel BINGO, I will be tarred and feathered, then burned at the stake. So, I will trudge along:).
I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas! Mine was excellent. I got a digital camera which will facilitate pictures being put on here! I have yet to take any, so I guess that will be on the next blog.
There was something that I had to share, but now I can't remember what it was. Hmmmmm. I am sure that it was very important and had the possibility of changing all of your lives (is it lives or life's? I just don't know!). I guess that will have to wait also. Is the anticipation for my next post building yet? I thought so.
I hope to see you at our New Year's party this Saturday! That is all.

I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower, makes you talk a little lower, bout the things you could not show

Ungh. Why am I such a glutton for punishment? I like to think that I have at least a semblance of self-control, but the past few weeks have shown me otherwise. What is it about Christmas that makes things that otherwise would be simple and meaningless so desirable. I, of course, and talking about food. It just seems to be everywhere! I don't even like half the stuff I am eating, but I consume it anyway. At work, we keep getting all these bread baskets and other such items delivered to us by home health agencies. And, of course, they come straight up to my office because I share it with the Care Coordinator. Then we proceed to pick out what we want before we send in down to the other staff:). It isn't just the free food. My friends, family, and co-workers are wanting to eat out more, and I can't turn them down! Today was the worst. I normally eat 1-2 meals a day. I never eat breakfast and I don't always eat lunch. But, today, I ate breakfast, lunch, and then my sister called and wanted to go to Golden Corral. We had a gift certificate that expires on Sunday, so we thought we had better use it. I seriously thought I would die before I was done with my first plate. I went back and got a little more, but after that, I couldn't even comprehend eating more. I couldn't even get dessert! It was a very sad day indeed.

Blister In The Sun

Blast! I totally just wrote a whole post, and my internet shut down. Stupid computer. I guess I will try and recreate the magical feeling that was there in my last attempt, but I fear that I will fail miserably.
School is out! Wahoo! I have actually been done for a couple days, but I haven't really felt like it til today. I usually have class Tuesday nights, but as I previously stated, I am done for the semester, so I decided to do something else. I went to the mall. I hadn't even really started on my Christmas shopping, so I figured that I had better get a few things, so I thought I would just run in. Yeah right. I was there for over two hours. And, I bought more stuff for me than for others (refer to my post on being the most selfish person in the world!) This was not so good because I am poor, but today kinda sucked. Shopping is a form of therapy for me, and it is cheaper than other forms, so I justify it. So there. I found out today that two of my favorite co-workers are leaving and I needed a little picker-upper. Thanks Goddess for coming with me! I had a lot of fun, and my spirits are lifted, which is exactly what therapy is there for!

We are livin in a material world.....

I have decided that I am the world's most selfish person. Especially lately. All I care about it myself. And, it doesn't make me happy. In fact it makes me exceptionally depressed and mopey. So... new goal. First, no complaining about my life. Actually, no complaining in general. Second, try and help other people out a little more even if it just be by listening. Third, be a better friend. Well, there you have it. I give people permission to make sure these rules are enforced. Feel free to use violence if necessary.

All These Things That I've Done

Nobody is guessing song titles anymore! There have been two really easy ones in the past week that nobody has gotten! That is very disappointing.
Well, I came to my senses yesterday. I quit the part time job that I had. I actually never started, so I guess that I can't say that I quit.
School is almost over! I have about two more weeks left. In those two weeks I have two presentations, one final, two papers, and a powerpoint thing to put together. But, this shouldn't be too bad considering that I only have one job now! Other than that, my life is pretty boring. I am just enjoying the winter. I wish there was more snow! It was snowing earlier, but it appears to have stopped. Sad:(.
