well its monday...hospice is bringing a hospital bed for my father in law today...i take care of him between 7 am and 1:15 pm....yesterday was a great day....hes got advanced dementia...a lot of family members were over yesterday...he decided to join us in the living room for about 45 minutes...he asked for his wallet so he could buy hotdogs for everyone...we didnt get hotdogs because my wife was making corned beef....anyway the gesture of him wanting to visit and treat everyone to dinner was so typical of him when he was healthy...2 days ago i thought he may never get out of bed...hospice gives you information on the death process and one of the things it talks about is a burst of energy people get right before death...at first i thought yesterday was one of those energy bursts...when he asked for his wallet i started crying because that fits the pattern of these energy bursts...what i think it really is is that hes finally getting enough sleep at night because today he woke up and ate a whole cup of pudding...that may not seem like a big deal but in the last 2 days hes only eaten about 4 bites of food...hes not ready to check out just yet...im just glad to have the opportunity to take care of him because hes done so much for his family...it can be stressful but its so rewarding....and by the way, if he offers to buy hotdogs again im gonna have one...have a great day...oh yeah i didnt to so great on my diet this weekend

Well I did a Flirty Girl Fitness DVD and 30DS yesterday. Boy I did not feel like doin that 30DS. LOL. I skipped strength but only because I actually forgot. LOL. I'm gonna do it today, Wed and Fri for my 3x this week.
I'm worried about my cardio for Wed, Thurs and Fri cuz I work at the rest those nights. It's gonna be tough. I def won't be able to get time on the elliptical but I may be able to squeeze in 30DS on Wed and Thurs and if I get up early on Fri I can do it then. LOL. |
the diet thing hasnt been going too good but im gonna stay in touch because thatll keep me thinking about it...father in law has had 3 good days in a row...nikki youre so focused its inspirational....everyone have a great day

:wave: everyone.
I have a huge decision to make concerning my job. With the economy in the crapper and people losing their jobs/homes/etc right and left, my mind is screaming to keep this job no matter how emotionally and mentally draining it is. It doesn't help at all that working for the VA is basically my security blanket. I'm trying to wait till I get my first project from the WAH position but this new boss.....I have several people I need to talk to tomorrow before I make my decision. I'm 22 and too young to be this stressed! :headache: |
I am now give up chocolate, bread and Cookies. I only eat fruits and vegetables, a little rice.
|
Still doing great on my challenge! I exercised Monday and Tuesday without a problem!!
|
jason...my advice is to stay there until you have something lined up unless moneys not a problem...thats easy for me to say...you wouldnt get unemployment if you quit right???but, if you can afford to quit then by all means do it...my nephew hated his job but he lucked out...he was laid off...hes a worrier but he says he feels better not working than staying at that job...good luck david

:wave: everyone!
So I talked to both HR and the union today like I planned. Found out from HR that I won't be career till my 3 year mark which is in June. If I quit before I make career, I won't be able to come back to the VA in my current grade. I would have to start over, at the bottom. I actually laughed because I had already promised myself that if I didn't get another position in the hospital by my birthday (July 29th), I would quit and now I know I can. Went to the Union with some of my complaints and he's going to have a meeting with the new asst chief and the supervisors. If this continues, we're filing a EEO grievance. We'll see what happens. Mama's birthday is tomorrow. Not sure what to get her....:chin: |
jason...perfect!!!shes probably younger than me...take her out to the movies to see slumdog millionaire

I did my strength yesterday. I had planned on doing 30DS when I got off work but I didn't get home till 1130 and was WAY to tired! So I set my alarm 30 min early and got up to do 30DS! So proud of myself! I'm gonna try to do it again when I get home but if it's too late again I'm gonna do the same thing tomorrow morning.
