Oh my god,
It's about time. I feel like I have fallen off the face of the planet...I had to do 2 weeks of community work for my program. It sucked! Going into people's houses and doing personal care and light housekeeping...sucks. I felt so uncomfortable all the time. I was in thier house...they could say I did anything...or nothing or yell at me because I dfidn't make the bed right, or empty the cathiter promptly enough. I don't know but I do not want to do that for a living. I don't like driving around town and going to peoples houses to do my work. I want a shift and a building I work in and co-workers and all of that. The pay isn't great either as a personal support worker for Red Cross or other HOmemaker services and honestly one of the houses I went to was so gross and creepy and dirty and the client was so creepy- he gave me the heebie jeebies and I had to give him a bed bath...I took a shower as soon as I got home but really I could never go back in to his house and to imagine that I would have to in alone? Honeslty the thought makes me want to puke....but other than that one house my experiences were well worth it nad I get why we have to get so many hours in community. I am just glad that it is over. But with that and real work...I didn't have time for anything...and I miss my friends and a social life.
This weekend I have my Aunt's Wedding to go to in Lachute, Quebec...she is my favourite Aunt and I am so excited for her. She has two kids, Shawn 13 and Heather 9. I really consider them my favourite cousins. I also think that they look up to me and respect me. They are having a hard time with the marriage and the move. So I went out and got them each a nice present and I hope to have some alone time with them to chat and make sure that know I am here for them. I know that I am far away and grew up with my mom in Ontario, instead of them in Quebec, but I don't want that to hinder our reolationship. Especially now that they are moving 8 hours away...icky! I guess it is just really important to me because I have never had a relationship worth any time or energy on my Dad's side...even with my Dad, I feel like I am not really a part of the Labonte family...unitl now. I hop it's not too late.
I hope that my life can go back to sorta normal...please call me, I need my social life back!!! Heheh. I feel good and I am happy! Spring is here, I am working on other peoples actions not affecting my feelings. I think my self esteem is going up and I have lost a few pounds, mostly because of the schedule I have been keeping rather than eating better but what can you do? Take it where you get it right. I am trying to be thankful for the daily blessings.
Thank you, Amanda for counselling me in my issue the toher night. You did more than you think and I have been controlling the temptations!! Hehehe!! Thank you sincerely. I love you!
