Lady Dies at care home in Kamloops:(

I Read in the paper, and heard it around work. But didn't really want to believe it. Where I did most of my practicum, a lady escaped the center, went outside and froze to death...Only because the door was not locked. This lady that died was a resident of mine when I was there. It breaks my heart to think that because of one person not locking a door, another innocent person is dead. It really scares me. About how easy it can happen, and how quick some of the old people with dementia really are. My heart goes out to the family.

Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

UGH

The weather is still freezing, I am getting sick of the cold...Last night our furnace died. It was soo cold in here. So we finally called the landlord, he brought over a portable heater, and we have the oven on. But it is still cold. The furnace guys should be here soon to fix it! I can't wait cause im freezing!!

3 days off!

Today was my first of 3 days off. We had a great day. Travis goes back to work tomorrow, after having 9 days off. So today we went to Lordco (BLAH MAN'S STORE LOL) Then we went to the dollar store, and bought some stocking stuffers and chocolate covered cherries...We die for those. Then we went to Starbucks for a coffee and a snack. I had an eggnog latte, and Travis had a caramel Apple Cider, which tasted like Apple Pie! SO good. We went to Marks Work World, and Travis bought me a dickies Jacket! It's so nice. Not that warm...But I love it! I love spending a couple days a week together, with no work or anything. So now we are home and going to clean the house, and put up the tree! Finally, Hopefully it will feel more like Christmas around here!

had a fun day!

Today we were supposed to go to Quesnel for a couple days, but the roads were really bad, and we didn't want to risk driving, and the other peoples driving. So Trav and I spent the day window shopping at costco, and tried all the taste tests. I think we were in there for about 2 hrs just looking around. We left with 4 jugs of orange juice lol. We were looking at rings...JUST LOOKING! LOL and I seen one that was 17000.00 I was amazed! That's more then our car! I couldn't believe it. Then we went grocery shopping! That took a long time, we are both tired now lol. Travis fell asleep on the couch and I am watching TV. I bought tickets for the Corb Lund band!!! and I got floor seats!
