HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with their families! I spent mine alone..... I know sad right....It's OK...I did try to call Brother #2 but he didn't answer his phone......to bad for him!!

yum!!!

The sweet potatoes were an "experiment"  turned out pretty good if I do say so myself!!  sweet potatoes fresh pineapple....cinnamon...nutmeg...butter and almonds on the top....I did put a few to many almonds on but....was still pretty good! I will be eating them for days tho.....same with the broccoli and cauliflower!!

Not much else going on!

OH!!!!!!! ALMOST FORGOT!!!!!!  

I PASSED THE CERTIFICATION TEST!!!!!!!

OK I AM STILL ALIVE AND KICKING......

I am still here!!   I FINALLY got through clinical training..third time the charm I guess.....Did my 4 day clinicals at Milwaukee Catholic Home  LOVED it!! Now I wait to take the certification test on the 21st..not worried to much for the written part...I worry about the skills portion....I always worry I will forget something critical...5 skills in 30 min is a lot of pressure..lol and the way you learn to do things in school are nowhere near what they do in the real world!

Well Brother #2 is still making me crazy..his latest   He was "burglarized" a month or so ago...took his meat out of his freezer...and the wires for his surround sound....and..(gasp) a gallon of milk...NOW he can't leave his home because someone(?) is trying to take over his house....No idea what that means....Today is Brother #1's birthday!! 

My unemployment ran out.....Oh Joy!  

well that's whats up im my world....sigh

WELL THAT WAS DIFFERENT...

Well..I completed the "classroom" portion of CNA training......Had one day of clinicals....and promptly got sick.....so Now I have to wait.......Till Tuesday....IF I am feeling better...which I doubt.... because I feel Like I have been run over by a steam roller......On top of that I will need a flu shot for this class....and They won't give you one if you are sick.....so I might have to wait anther two weeks........ sheesh.....My Unemployment runs out sometime this month.......oh well...401K here I come...sheesh....

Not much else going on in my world...

OK..IT HAS B.EEN A LONG WHILE SO....

OK...Yes i am still alive and kicking.........why I have no idea....back in school for C.N.A.  this time........There is a lot of hand washing...more so than C.M.A. (or so it seems)....knock on door,introduce yourself,explain what you are going to do,wash hands, do task,(pulse) wash hands record......If old people are that coated with germs I don't want to be a Nursing assistant!!!!!!  LOL. anyway I started on the 27 of August and will finish on October 2 or so...take the test(s) on the 18th......then I hope I can get CBRF training also.....for free again....my C.N.A training was also free......if not I will have to take the classes one at a time and figure out how to pay for them...I don't think they are that expensive....Its only a week worth of classes...(so I can work in assisted living or hospital...still working on a C.M.A job) hospital at least I can get my foot in the door.....very intense training..120 hrs...We learned how to get the patient up to sitting position and stand them and give them their walker or cane today...tomorrow...we learn transfer from bed to wheelchair ......
Brother #1 is still here visiting....I saw him twice.....hopefully I will get to see him again before he leaves.

anyway..that's what's up in my little corner...


Later.....

OMG!!! I WANT A FREAKEN CIGARETTE!!!!!!!

Oh Well.......I at least went from 2 packs a day to 2 or 3 cigs a day........patches and lozenges are doing not much ........they help but.........some days  I just want one...just one......so I have one.....and it has been so gosh awful hot and humid.......I hate the heat and humidity.

Still no freaken job.........~~~~SIGH~~~~    


Brother #1 will be coming to visit soon........Brother #2........is making me crazy.......per usual......


oh well.......that's whats up in my world.......


Later......................

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE RETURN FREAKEN PHONE CALLS???

That is one of my   BIGGEST  pet peeves......Some one leaves you a message and asks you to return the call or get back to you...Please do it.....

OH!!!!!!!  GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brother  #2 finally got his stupid brace off! He came by about two weeks ago without it...for the first time...(he said the Dr. said I did a good job putting the brace back on (?) )

Still no luck on the job front...will possibly be going back to school for my C.N.A.   I am hoping to get my foot in the door that way..if not I have no clue what I will do......I am getting more and more frustrated everyday......not to mention more and more depressed and hopeless... OH  and will be attempting to quit smoking again...July  1 is my quit date.....I signed up for a 3 year study on the benefits of quitting with the University of Wisconsin I think....I get paid for it which I did not know till my second visit.....$75!!  I will get another check on my 5th visit.  They supply everything.....free.....patches.....(or)......patches and lozenges ....Or Chantix........I got patches and lozenges...the guy said they have better results with the patches and lozenges... I was on the Chantix which works wonders....I had none of the side effects other people had....till I had a HUGE stressor...my furnace died....( I think I wrote of this)

Anyway that's what's up in my world......

Later.....
