now that i get off work at four and dont have much to do i have a feeling i will be updating this a lot more. i also feel like i actually have things to talk about now.

day 2...survived=)

this morning i had to go and get blood work done..fun right? it wasnt to bad....

doing all my reading this morning about our clients was very insightful. i read a lot about dementia and Alzheimer's (im with the old folks remember?) i couldnt help but be thankful that we didnt have to see any of that with my grandpa. i was reading all about visitations and how to make it better on the client and family. seeing some of our clients that do have those diagnosis..i could never imagine seeing my grandpa that way. it was hard enough just seeing him sick. i miss that man like crazy. but have been doing suprisingly better that i thought i would working with older people. i figured the first time i saw any of the older men i would just cry. i will always miss him but we were lucky that we didnt have to go through all the nursing home/declining health stuff...he used to say "im glad you got to see me today" i would give a lot to just see him again.

on a funnier note...we have a rather large nurse in our unit and she was giving one of the men his meds and he was refusing to take them and he said it was because he never wanted to get fat like her. it would be funnier if you knew this man and this nurse lol he is also the man that they told me to watch out for because he grabs boobs.

my friend amanda and i are wanting to become friends with the locals so we can go ride horses and 4 wheelers all the time so we went to a bar last night where we were by far the youngest by a 30 year or so age gap. we got called young phillies by all the guys there....it was interesting. i dont think there is anyone our age in this town. i like it here though. its reallly really pretty and the weather is way different...like long sleeves and jeans and its comfortable. it was 90 in oklahoma. yikes. i do miss the lake though and my sweet Rev..i miss him a whole lot! mommy and daddy are taking great care of them though=)
