HI IT'S ME AGAIN.......

Well yes I am still alive....my residents are working my last nerve......especially "the quilter" She is a riot! She is 89 years old.....and still quilts by HAND!!!!! Pieces them together by hand and quilts them!  She is amazing....she had some Batting issues today so I had to help her straighten it out.....3 times...LOL....She was looking for me   and asked  "the know it all" where's that white lady? Apparently the last time we pinned the backing on I put it on upside down.....lol No she never remembers my name....

The "Church Lady" (aka  "the demented old bat") also...never remembers my name.....calls me Merl....she is normally the sweetest thing.....just don't piss her off.... ask how I know this...lol messed up her oatmeal one day..sheesh.

"The know it all" is my second job....he is ok..has hired two of us...and usually keep him company for two and a half hours...after the little work we have to do for him...

Then there is "The Artist" he is the youngest of the residents we take care of...he is AMAZING!! He is "physically challenged" he only calls if he needs dishes done or some veggies cut, he does his own cooking tho.
and he is an amazing artist..

Anyway...we had nice weekend weather last weekend! we had two days in the 50's!!!! Even took a nice long walk...from 27th street to 8th street....AND beat the bus home...LOL.

Well that's what's up in my world

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

HELLO!!! YES I AM STILL HERE!

YUP!  Still here.....doing well. Winter finally showed up (darn) had VERY COLD  sub-zero weather for a week....burrr...You know the kind that makes your face hurt.....
I have gained a bit of weight..no walking..weather is just too cold...my numbers are still mostly good...anyway...

I am seriously thinking of joining a gym...and go after work for an hour or so....I am thinking Planet Fitness, seems reasonably priced and supposed to be a "judgement" free zone.....and NO LUNKS...LOL. 

My second job starts February 2nd!  so that will be a few extra bucks in my pocket.......

OH!!!!!!  and.....I finally got signed up for health insurance...WOOOOT!!! I will get a check up before I join the gym.

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


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

WOW!!!!!!! WHAT A MOVIE!!!!

WOW!  What a movie!!!   I just got back from seeing Star Wars!!   I LOVED IT!!!!!!  I could however do WITHOUT the 3-D......gave me a bit of a headache and whiplash...sheesh.... and the ships that seem to come from behind you.....and the burning embers all over...I have never been to a 3-D movie so it was all new to me.....Didn't care for it...was cool, but....  and some parts made me gasp!  I won't give anything away...


anyway....Beginning January I will  have  another job...taking care of one of the residents I used to take care of....for a few hours a week....He has been having issues with the other agency's that he has tried. He found out today he could hire his own person...(or 2) so he will be diving up the hours between me and another aide.....wooo hooo a few extra bucks for us...

We are having a nice spring so far this winter....only 3 or so inches of snow..(so far) which is  OK by me.  And that was back in November....LOL.  Some of the daffodils are even trying to come up.....


Well hope everyone has a Merry Christmas  and a safe New Year!!


That's what's up in my world....


Later.....

WELL....YES.....I AM STILL HERE.....I THINK.....

Well  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!   I volunteered to work my coworkers shift for her so she could spend the time with her family.....( I had nowhere to go anyway) She said how about  half the shift? We don't  do anything till late afternoon anyway....OK by me.....So I worked....but got fed good!  Weather sucked..RAINED ALL DAY.....Well....I guess it could have been worse.....1.5 inches of rain = A LOT  of snow.....Which we got our first of.....5.5 inches or so.

     My friend lost her husband the day before......puts a bit of a damper on the holidays......

Other than that not a whole lot going on.....OH!!!! My sisters boyfriend got a deer !!  WOOT!!  I am tasting deer chops now!!  I only have the burger he gave me left  so hopefully he will give me some more chops!  I make a mean venison Swiss steak!!!   I have to tease cousin over this because he has not gotten a deer in about 2 years now....so every time I have it I rub it in...LOL.


Well that's what's up in my world.....be safe


Later........

FOUND IT!!!

My "new" couch!

I'M STILL HERE!!

Wow it's certainly been a while.....there is a whole lotta nothin going on......still going on my walks....most day anyway......I have also been naughty a few times so I have put 8 lbs back on....I know slap me...lol.  Anyway.....other than that doing ok.  

Still lovin my job...My home care lady said something that startled me a bit...about 10 min before I left she said "I wish I was dead" I told her everyone will miss you if you were......I called her daughter and told her. I guess after you get to a certain age.....She will be 94 this December...she lost her last brother earlier in the year and that was a bit tough on her.  I try and encourage her to go down to sit with the other people in the reception room so she won't be so lonely.

Weather is starting to cool off a bit......which is great for walks....colors are starting to change. This is my favorite time of the year....NOT looking forward to winter at all...



Found out when  I went to get my new numbers last time the lady told me 6.1   it was actually 6.7  which is still great...the "Dr. Du-Jour" said he never seen an A1C drop that much in 3 months! 


OHHHHH   I got a "new"  couch!!   It took me a bit to get used to it cause it is 6 inches longer than the old one and now I get glare on the TV from my lamp...so I just turn the lamp off and turn my smaller lamp on...I can't find my pic of it tho  :( .....

Anyway not much else going on in my world....

Later......
