hello, all you cats and kittens.
it has been forever and one day since i last signed in.
my life has been full and full of blessings the past few weeks
and here is the update:
i am full-time at kettering college of medical arts in the respiratory care program.
the program is awesome and amazing. it is good for me to be around
people who (seem to) care about me and are glad to see me. school is hard and
takes a lot of study time. at times it is overwhelming and a couple times i
have considered a life career at mcdonald's. (fries with that ??) this week
i had my first clinical rotation and actually got to see patients. we did
pulse-ox and listening to breath sounds and i got to administer a couple
breathing treatments. it does not sound like much but it was way exciting
for me.
given that i am a full time student these days, that means that i resigned my
position as a receptionist/girl friday at my full time job. it has been weird
not working full time but school has kept me really busy. then i had taggart's
on the weekends to have a bit of cash and some gas money. big news is that i got
a job as a server at red lobster !! they know that i go to school full time -
that works really well. the training thing is coming up then after that i
am on my own as far as working for tips. that will be a good thing.
life as a cellar dweller has settled down and everyone in the sub-cult of clark
seems to be in the groove of things. it is amazing how you can live in a house
with 7 people total and spend so many evenings alone. even i did not believe it
when i moved in - but it happens more than not.
speaking of cellar dwelling - cate-the-golden-retriever-wonder-puppy has gone to
live with a family with a huge (6.5 acre) yard. latest news is that she is
happy being there and that she may be a wonder-mom in the near future.
i know she is happier there. she was a great stress inducer here at the cult house.
this occurred mostly when i was not here and i always feared learning
the wrath of what she had done while i was away when i returned.
when i was here, she was an angel. when i was gone,
she was a full-fledged destruction machine. i miss her but life is better
here at the compound without her. it had pretty much boiled down
to the fact that i was her only true fan and everyone else tolerated her
to the best of their ability. i tried to not bring her and even offered to
send her packing on multiple occasions but we all just kept trying.
i am considering goldfish. that way, if they make me mad, it is flush city.
children, heed the call. p*ss me off and you could be meeting the
great city of dayton plumbing system.
that's about it in the huge scheme of my ordinary life.
god had blessed me in so many ways - praise be to him.
loveyoubye.
