Spring is here? Seriously?

The calendar says Spring is here, but the cold temperatures outside feels like it's still Winter....I'm not likin' it!! Boo...Soon enough though, right? :)

I'm still working for now and feel fortunate. I don't know for how long, but will just take it day by by until I get an e-mail from the company letting me know the seasonal employees aren't needed anymore. The hours have been cut quite a bit, so it won't be much longer.

Yesterday I did something I haven't done in years and it was AWESOME! I took a bath. Totally gross, right? lol.. See, I have always gotten bed baths since my injury! I don't have an accessible shower and the nursing home wasn't big on wheeling residents to the shower, so I just became accustomed to baths in my bed. Well, I got a bath chair that lowers me in the tub and allows me to sit back and soak while being belted in and supported without the worry of falling over. :) It was nice to take a bubble bath after so many years and I look forward to many more! :)

An off day!

Today has been an off day! It started from the moment I opened my eyes and has continued to be an effed up day all day! I don't get it and maybe I won't get it, but bed time can't come soon enough!

Sunday my aunt, nursing assistant and I went to a quarter auction at the vfw and had a good time. It was the first time that any of us had ever been to a quarter auction and we didn't know really what to expect, but I think we all three enjoyed ourselves...especially my nursing assistant. He spent .25 and won a $10 roll of quarters!!! :) Good job Kyle! :)

I no longer have the nursing assistant, who I mentioned in a previous post, working here anymore. It's always hard to hire new people and I'm happy to say that I didn't have to hire anybody to replace her. A couple of nursing assistants who already work here wanted more hours so they picked up her shifts and everything worked out!! :)

Tomorrow I'm visiting with my friend from Fairfield, who I haven't seen in a while. He is stopping by my place while he is in the area for business so I'm looking forward to catching up with him again. :)

Work is slowing down so I don't know how much longer I will be needed. This season has flown by and I hate to see it end!!! Speaking of that, I completed my taxes 3 weeks ago and I was so proud of myself for not dragging my feet ! Well, today I got a w2 in the mail.... now I have to amend my taxes!!! That was just another insult to my all ready effed up day!
