Money, money, money

I should not be allowed to have an exhorbant amount of money at my disposal. I mean all my bills are payed, tithing taken out, some put in my rainy day account/savings. So what do I do with what is left? Well so far I have bought clothes, concert tickets, Cd's, jewelry, and books. But my second biggest purchase after the concert tickets was an out of print CD. Yup on eBay the CD was selling for $299.00. Now don't freak out I didn't buy that one. I got one from amazon.com for $150.00. I tried everywhere to get it. I tried the used CD store in Fort Collins but they didn't have it. I got one other out of print CD there before so that was one of the first places I checked. I still have tons left. Holy poopy-do what am I going to do. I have also taken my mom out to dinner twice at nice places. All I know is that I would suck at being wealthy. But then I would donate to charities and such.

Holy cow where is the freaking autofill button/I need a nerd

So I decided to purchase an iPod shuffle to have when I go to Provo in August. Today I put all the music from my Cd's that I wanted on it and then the directions told me to click the auto fill button. Looked all over for the stupid thing and couldn't find it. Dustin got home so I asked him and he had no clue because he has an mp3 player and used a different program. (Windows media) So then I finally decided to click the help button and it gave me the manual for my iPod. Can I just say stupid button!!!

Turn the freak off

So today has been a jam packed day. First thing this morning I got online and noticed that I won my Jonas Brothers tickets on eBay. (I don't care if you don't like them I do so there!) Then I had a phone interview with the Hospice of Larimer County for a receptionist job. Then I spent twenty minutes paying bills because they have to be paid or I have no phone or Internet or TV for that matter. Well after all that was done I decided to go shopping. I needed new summer clothes because, A.) My others are too big. and B.) the others are too big. So my first stop was Wal-Mart because I needed some essentials plus I found some really cute Capri's and tops. Next stop, Old Navy, didn't really find anything there. So I went to a different store and found these really awesome Capri's and a gorgeous top. Next stop Best Buy. Had to get a couple of Cd's. Disney mania 4 and Aly and AJ (again don't care of you don't like them) Next stop Claire's Boutique. I got some cute earrings and bangle bracelets, and necklaces to go with my new outfits.

To explain the topic of my post I bought a spin toothbrush. Well when I got home I took it out of the package and turned it on to make sure it worked. Well it works all right. The freaking thing will not turn off. My mom told me to take the battery out. Stupid thing isn't one that you can replace the battery. I tried for a good 10 minutes. I gave up and through it in my sock drawer. Could still hear it. My mom laughed at me and said that if she didn't know that I was a good girl she would think I had something else in there going off. (dork) She told me to take it back. How the heck am I supposed to take it back when the thing won't turn off? So I took it out to the garage where hopefully the battery will die and then I can return it. All in all this morning and early afternoon was fun.

OK ewww

Let me preface this post. If you have any of these conditions do not read and if you do read then the outcome is not my fault because you were warned. 1.) nasty gag reflex. 2.) Dry heaves. Again you have been warned!


So today at work one of my residents died. Not bad. Sucks to start the shift off with a death but that is a part of the job. What comes next is icky. So a couple of weeks ago two residents got into it and one broke their hip. We all thought they pulled a muscle but actually it was a fracture. Well the other resident kicked the other and we had to send them to the ER where we learned about the fracture. Well this resident came back this past weekend and was so out of it it was crazy. So today I checked on them and they were breathing. 30 short minutes later they were not. Now I hate post mortem care like the rest of the staff but it has to be done. I had one of the other CNA's help because of what I found. Inside their mouth was some brown icky stuff. At that point I had no clue what it was. We first thought it was blood. Well when we rolled them it came out of their mouth and nose and it was poop. Yup an blocked bowel. This resident fell last night again and possibly caused this. No I can handle poop in its variety coming out of the correct end but when it comes out of the mouth that is totally different. The smell was so intense I was dry heaving, gagging and about to pass out. I told the other CNA that I would hold the resident if she cleaned up the mouth. Now here it is almost 9 hours later and the picture is still in my mind. I need something to take it out.

3 simple rules

Yesterday at work was just awful. I have a co-worker who hates me for reasons I have no clue. Well They are supposed to get up 15 people total. Five on each group. Independent people don't count. Cause hello independent. Anywho, I get to work and notice that I have one person up. Independent. The rest had dried poo and/or were soaked from shoulders to knees. Now that just ain't right. That is abuse and neglect. Also none of my trash cans had liners in them. I was furious. I had 20 people to get up and had an hour and 45 minutes to do so. Well since I was ticked off I was unintentionally slamming doors as I went into the rooms. If they were not awake when I went in they were when I slammed the door. These three rules went through my mind the entire time getting them up and ready for breakfast.

Rule #1: Don't talk to me.
Rule #2: You have no choice in the close that you are wearing today.
Rule #3: If it hurts I don't care.

I know mean but I had all of them up toileted, dressed, shaved and hair combed by 7:10am. Yes folks 20 people in an hour and ten minutes. Don't piss me off first thing in the morning. There will be hell to pay.

Creepy

Ok so this guy who lives in Loveland added me as a friend on MySpace. Can I just say he is really weird? Of course I can this is my blog and I can say whatever I feel like saying. Anyway I have been getting tons of messages from him. I guess if he turns stalkerish I will turn my brothers on him. Good idea. Wait... Great idea. So my mom went to church with me and she noticed that someone that I was interested in brought a girl with him. Well my mom leaned over and told me that the guy I marry will either have to be as strongwilled and opinionated as my brothers or can hold his own otherwise they will mow right over him. Don't worry I will. That is if I ever find a guy to date.

Something I ate

Last night I didn't crawl into bed until almost midnight because I knew that I could sleep in today. Well that was all well and good but then at around 2:50 am I woke up because my arms felt like they were on fire. I had had an itch and so being the normal response I itched them. Well right after they fired up. I got up and went to the bathroom and noticed that they were both really really really red. There were also bumps and welts almost. So instead of panicking like I would normally I decided to take some Benydryl and wait 30 minutes. If they didn't change then I would have to make an early morning trip to the emergency room. Luckily I was able to fall back asleep and when I woke up at 10am (that is late for me) the redness and bumps were gone. I still have no clue what could have done it. I did move around some stuff that had dust on it but that was earlier in the day. It could have been the pill I took before bed but I took that around 7pm. I am going to have to call my doctor tomorrow to see if there is something else I can take instead. The only thing I ate before bed was a bag of fruit treats.
