At Work

Today marks my 5th shift here at work. I've been called in once and have had to come in early so another staff member could take a girl to the hospital for mild concussion. My experience so far has been pretty good. I haven't met a lot of the girls, but I'm feeling like that's a good thing. They should be asleep when I'm here. I'm figuring out, very quickly, that my shift doesn't require a whole lot from me. I have to check on the girls a minimum of 31 times during my shift and if they have to use the bathroom, I let them. But other than that, I pretty much sit around on Facebook or Tumblr or Blogger. I get to do whatever I want in between checks. If I had a job where I needed to actually do something, I think I'd enjoy the graveyard shift a lot more. 

So, yeah...work is going well. I just wish that I had a an extra shift or two during the week so I don't have to stress out so much about money and how I'm going to be able to afford rent and stuff. I guess it just gives that much more of a kick in the pants to finish school and use the extra money from my pell grants or loans to live off of. 

Anyway, I have to go and figure out my life for the rest of the month...and check on the girls.

Mama

Dear Mom, You've been gone 12 years now and I miss you just as much as I did when you left this earth to live with our Heavenly Father. Life has been hard since you've been gone, but I'm sure you know. Yesterday, on your anniversary, I went to lunch with Felisa and visited Stephen and his wife, Shauna in Salt Lake. Who would have thought that almost all us adult siblings would live within an hour's drive of each other? In Utah, no less. We didn't really talk about you, but I'm sure that we were all thinking of you. My heart ached for you a little bit more. I thought of you on Sunday, since it was the day of the week that you passed away. During the Sacrament, I thought of you and everything you taught me about the Gospel, about Jesus, about facing your fears, about forgiveness. When it came to the bearing of testimonies, I was already crying. Half due to allergies and half due to thinking of you and missing you. I was always the sensitive one. Dad's ex-wife ...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...

Like A Prayer

Recently - actually, more like since May - I've been listening to a lot of Madonna. But not just regular Madonna, Glee's remakes of Madonna classics. I'm addicted. As much as I like the original Material Girl, I like shaking my music up a little bit on my iPod. Also, I've been listening to a lot of Carter Hulsey. I'm pretty sure that he'll be another popular Myspace find with the likes of Colbie Caillat, Brendan James, and Angel Taylor. Seriously, if you haven't heard anything from Brendan James and Angel Taylor, I think you may be missing out on some awesome tunes. I like Colbie Caillat, but she's been overplayed for a while now, so I've been looking for similar music. I definitely recommend Brendan James, Angel Taylor and Carter Hulsey. They've all got myspace pages and music on iTunes and Amazon, so look them up. Not that Madonna and all my fave myspace finds are in any way related - aside from the fact that they all sing and make music - ...
