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!

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!

2 years!

Yesterday Travis and I have been together for 2 years! I don't know where the time has gone! I guess time flies when your having fun lol. It's been a good 2 years. We have been through a lot, but we stood by each other. He was my biggest support when i was going to school, and still is. He's my rock!! Sure we had our rough times, and will in the future too. I believe everything happens for a reason, and I believe in fate. LOL think what you want. But I think we were meant to be, I just got out of a 4 year relationship, and so did he. And somehow when we weren't expecting it in the least we met! I hope these two years will turn into 20 years, 40, 60 years, and we grow old together. Travis I love you!! When we first started dating, all I heard for a long time is that he was a rebound bf, and it wasn't going to last! But i thought different. 2 years later, some rebound bf hey!

hmm not sure what to write!

Well I haven't posted in a long time...Not sure if anyone reads my blog anyways, so i've kind of given up! I am going to go take me learner's tomorrow! Maybe...I really want to drive, and feel I am ready. Just not sure If I am ready to take the test and pass it. but we'll see i guess!

Work is going alright. I had my first palliative resident. Which was kind of hard to see. But we did it, he ended up passing away 2 days later...Kind of scary, but hey it's all part of life! Other then that nothing to exciting happening at work. The men are interesting, I love it a lot. Just need to build more confidence.

I have today off, Travis will be home at about 2:30! I finally get to see him today and tomorrow for a bit. I am not liking these afternoon shifts! Oh well. Anyways I am going to go study for a but, and clean my house!

thought I might update!

Nothing to much happening here, I am working lots! Last night I did a double shift, 16 hrs! OMG what a long night! I am so tired today. And now I am craving coffee! So my awesome hunny is making me some! YAY. It's so nice having Travis back home! It's hard to believe our 2 yr anniversary is coming up! I know we have been through rough times, and fun times, it's all been worth it. I don't have much to right tonight, I am tired and want to watch TV. I called in sick tonight cause I am to tired. We are going to watch dancing with the stars, then go to bed!

Work!

Work is going great. I am on my second day off now, and I am excited to go back. The ward I am on is Severe dementia! They are a lot of fun, but a handful. On Friday everyone was in a weird mood. They do something called sundowning in the evening, which is where they get very agitated and aggressive. And being Halloween too it effects them. So I gathered all the residents around the table and started passing the ball around. Now we have a couple residents that are in a vegetative state, and they were even tossing the ball around. It was amazing, seeing how they still function a bit! Then after that everyone was good, and all calmed down. I just thought I would share that story, It sure makes my job worth going to. I am really enjoying it, i just have to get some good shoes. I get home and my feet swell so bad!

Travis has been gone since Tuesday. I am missing him soo much! I can't wait till he comes home! Anyways I am going down town to get some cheep leftover Halloween candy lol!! I need chocolate!

YAY!

So I got a call today from Hamlets saying they will offer me a casual position...I took it! But I just got a call from Ridgeview, and they offered me NIGHTS!!!! full time! WOO HOO I can't wait!!

UGH!

I have an interview at 10:00 this morning at the Hamlets, and one tomorrow too! I did not get any sleep last night, or the night before. I am freaking out! But I am feeling confident about this! YAY wish me luck, and i will wish for sleep tonight! I doubt I will get any sleep tho! Anyways gotta go get ready! Chow for now

Concert was awesome

So we got to go to the concert! It was awesome. We got to meet them, get pictures and get their autographs! Amanda is so nice and friendly. Here are some cool pictures.

Good news! I have an interview on Thursday!! YAY

I hate this date with a passion, October 19

It's been 2 yrs and I still hate this date, I hate hearing it. To this day it still gives me chills and tears to my eyes. On this day 2 years ago, I have never felt to hurt and alone. Someone riped my heart out and stomped on it a million times, left me in the middle of no where. With no one else around. I felt like dying. It was by far the worst day of my life. I don't miss the fact that we broke up, it's not about that. It's about how I felt, how alone and scared I was. I want to make this a good day. Even though it was such a horrible week after the 19th, and I thought my life was over. It was just beginning. And I couldn't have asked for anything better. I have grown in so many ways in 2 yrs. I'm not that stupid girl that was to dependent on others. I am going to make this day a good day. Dinner with the grandparents (Travis') and then the Wilkinson's concert! WOOO HOOO. Travis I love you more then anything!

no luck yet

Well i have had NO luck with a job, not even a phone call. Oh well it will come. I am starting to keep myself busy. Baking and cooking lots! Yesterday I made chocolate fudge! OMG it's so good, but so strong and sweet. Travis has 3 days off. So we are busy cleaning the house and stuff. I want to bake. I want fresh bread. I have never made it, but I will attempt to make it. I also want to make cinnamon buns, and pizza dough. LOL can u tell i'm bored? Tonight we are going to have hamburgers and salad! I can't wait. Haven't had homemade burgers in a long time. We are going to go see a movie tonight, then go to Karaoke for a bit. Sunday we are going to a concert. The Wilkinsons I can't wait! It's gonna be fun, we might even be able to meet the band! Free tickets from a friend of ours! YAY. Anyways we are off for more job hunting, wish me luck!!

Leave some comments!!!!!!

When will i get over the fact??

I don't think I will ever get over the fact my dad is not around anymore. I miss him so much all the time. Most days i don't think about him, because I get so emotional. My dad was a huge part in my life, and I will never get over that he is gone, and we don't know where he is. Last night i actually cried over it. I try so hard not to, but some days I wish so bad that he was here in my life. It's so hard to say and think this...But i don't even know what he sounds like any more:( It has almost been a year and a half since I seen him. Christmas is coming, it will be our 7th Christmas not together. I was 17 when I got to spend the last Christmas with him, and we moved a short month later. So tomorrow is thanksgiving, I have to say I am thank full for how he was a great father, and all the memories I have of him. When I miss him I can sit down and remember the times when we were small, and then I touch my left shoulder, knowing he is with me, looking over me. Daddy's little girl always! I would do anything to hear his voice, and give him a big hug and kiss, and hold his hand. Tell him stories that he has missed in the passed years. Let him know about his grand daughter and grandson! I think he would be the best grandpa ever. When I went to see him the last time, he carried a baby picture of Mercede in his wallet, he looked pretty proud! When I do see him again one day, one year I will tell him to never leave, cause I can't do this anymore! Dad I love you more than anything in the world. Thanks for the memories and the kisses. Happy Thanksgiving where ever you are!! I love you!!!

Can't trust anyone

You know how you think u can trust family members? Or parents even! Today I called to change my income tax address so it can go to my house, not my moms. So all that was done and good. I also asked the lady if i could get my income tax return sent to my address too. I have not received my income tax return for 2006 and 2004 i think, and they sent them to my moms house. One was almost 400.00 and another was almost 200.00 I asked my mom many times to send them back to me, and she said she did, so I waited and waited. She made excuses blah blah blah. Well the lady said today that all the checks have been cashed, including 2 of my other GST checks! So my mother and her dumb ass bf probably forged my signature and cashed my checks!! I am setting up an investigation, and if it is her, I might sue her, and she will be charged for fraud. Almost 1000.00 worth, I hate doing it, but I feel I have to!

BLAH no luck yet!

Well I have been graduated for a week now, and have not gotten one call. I went out Monday and Tuesday and Thursday. But I think some of the managers are away. So my fingers are crossed for some calls next week. I'm sure they will come. I think our instructor mis led us on how many jobs are actually out there. I don't know whats going to happen to all the other grads coming out soon. TCC has another RCA class starting on Oct. 7th...so monday! They will be graduated in march! Hopefully there will be new jobs, or even another facility, cause there are 4 schools of RCA's. Kind of stupid if you ask me! Oh well. I am stressed to the max, I have NO money. I haven't been this stressed in a long time. But it will work out, even if i have to find a different Job. I told Travis tonight I should apply to Convergys till i find something full time! HAHA that will never happen! anyways I gotta go, bored of writing! Who ever checks my blog from Kelowna, Who are you!? Leave me a comment! I want to know who reads my blogs! Thanks!
