I’ve never really watched Star Trek, but my mom loves it. She went to the convention last year in Las Vegas (flew from WA state to go) and a month after she got back she already had tickets purchased for next years 😀
Not going to be a Christmas this year. Since the lady I cared for passed away in March I’ve been making less than my bills. Waiting now to be scheduled for my CNA state boards, but I haven’t been able to get myself to focus enough to study. Found out last week my bosses income is being cut severely so I don’t know if he’ll be able to pay me for 5 weeks in Jan, might work 5 for the price of 4. I was counting on that extra paycheck for groceries since I can’t afford any this month. Just praying I can pass my boards and find a second part time job as a CNA no later than Feb…
I’m so sorry for your loss, what a beautiful boy.
Beyond The Rainbow
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that’s trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful — lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I’m alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
‘Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we’re never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.Ack! I saw this the other day and was wondering if I should mention it, I completely forgot about it!
I passed my certified nursing assistant class with a 97% average. Not a CNA till the state test, but glad class is done.
Not any more thankfully, but I had HORRIED neighbors several years ago. I live in the upstairs apartment of an older house. Mine is a one bedroom and the downstairs is a 3 bedroom. For two years I had this family living downstairs, a couple and their two 8-10 year old kids, the husbands brother and his two 4-6 year old kids. The brothers wife was there when they moved in, but all they did was scream at each other (and I swear they had to be throwing chairs at each other.) Anyway…3 adults, 4 kids. I don’t think these adults did anything other than drink all night. They had the garage which is just diagional to my bedroom. With two HUGE amps, and flashing lights, they’d start out about 7pm singing (blasting) karioke, drinking, and cursing-and proceed to do this until 1-3am. Literally, sitting at a picnic table under my window in the driveway drinking in the middle of the night, tossing their bottles noisely into a bin. My landlords couldn’t get them to stop. I found out they had a police scanner so when I called about the noice they would just turn it down before the cops arrived. During the 4th of July they were always setting off fireworks hours after everyone else had stopped. (one year I was delighted to overhear they got a ticket for illegal fireworks-not my fault for hearing-they were yelling right below my window.) After TWO years, my landlords finally evicted them. Come to find out, one of the annoying noises I’d been putting up with was the kids throwing darts into the walls and ceilings. Many broken door frames from the brats slamming doors all day. I was miserable. I’d literally be laying in my bed at night crying because I was so afraid of them.
Found out a year or so later that the adult brother was arrested for sexually abusing his own niece and that it was going on when they lived here.*hugs* I think most of us have felt like this at one point or another, I know I have! The good thing is, your true friends like you for who you are and will always be ready to build a stronger friendship.
