ok, i'm soo super excited about this upcoming holiday season. i think its because of my newly found positive outlook on life. every year around the holidays i used to get depressed, sad, and just all around disappointed because i was usually alone and/or single. this year i've got my family, shad, and friends! i plan to start my christmas shopping next week after i pay my property taxes on my house. i think that has another thing to do with my happiness. i may not get to be in my house for christmas as it is still being renovated, but i will be in it by the new year!! =]
i'm just working hard at my lil b.s. job until i get the job that i actually want. i need to get on that, so i think on wednesday before i head over to shad's crib to kick it with him and jaile(pronounced jayla) i'll swing by interim healthcare to talk to the hr lady. a lot of you may not be aware, but i am a certified nursing assistant. i have been for the past two years. i think i'ma find a job doin' that for a little while at least until i finish cosmetology. i wasn't really beat for keepin' up my certification because i didn't like the work i did at the nursing home, but this lady that i use to work with told me about home health and she says its a lot easier and there's less work for more money. i talked to my brother about it because he's working as a cna while he's in college. he says a lot of the families are willing to pay more for home health versus nursing homes because they can be certain that the same person/people are taking care of their loved ones so it gives them (family and patient) a sense of stability. i can understand that, so i'm kinda excited about checking that out. my boo even tried to help me out on the job front. his mom is an accountant at a nursing home and he was tryna get me to apply where she worked. i was like awwwww. i don't think i could do it tho'. cuz if she put in a good word and i didn't like the place and left that wouldn't look good on her.
school is about to wind up for me within the next couple of months. its kind of bittersweet. i'm happy because i already have two job offers for when i get out, but in the same token i'm sad because i'll be leaving some very wonderful ladies. i mean the school is in the same city, but if i decide to relocate i won't be seeing too much of them. i know for a fact that i'll be seeing keeping in touch with a few of them. my best friend tichia being one, my cousin ashley, and ms. geraldine, and sierra(if she ever brings her ol' pie face self back to school). its been very trying but i wouldn't trade this experience for the world. i've built up a pretty decent clientele to start out with, so i can't complain too much.
all in all life is good for me at the moment. i feel soo loved for the first time in forever and its a little scary. i like this feeling tho'. well i'ma wrap this up. there's so much more i wanna say, but i think i need to bank some of it. i think i'll be updating pretty regularly for a while..so be on the look out! two phingaz! =]
