Today has been pretty good, because I can’t complain! haha. Today my parents pretty much left me alone and I stayed in my room pretty much all day except when I ate lunch. Other than that the phone hasn’t rang, my mom or dad haven’t bothered me, and I have had a general great day of health! Accomplished a good day!
So why I called my blog Awaitingwas because I am excitedly awaiting my trip! I am going to be video-blogging (I think its officially called V-logging) the WHOLE trip! I am totally PSYCHED! We (my mom and I) leave Wednesday at noon, and probably wont get to Arlington, VA until dinnertime. It’ll be a little boring drive but I’ll keep my mom awake! I think she’ll need it! haha. So after the 3rd of August I am going North again! Up to visit my relatives in Lincoln and then to NY! It will be so much fun because my cousin is coming with us! He is an AWESOME, AWESOME cousin! I wish I could see all of them but hopefully for Thanksgiving I will.
I downloaded a new program yesterday called Skype because my dad had it; he wanted to be lazy and talk to me through it from upstairs. Its a good device I like it but I don’t like the simple fact that if you click on ‘Skype Me’ as your status that absolutely everyone can talk to you. There are some crazies out there so you have to watch who talks to you. In fact, when my dad had me download it he told me to go into an Arab room. hahaha, it was so puzzling listening to them. This guy now is on my contact list and I can’t figure out how to get him off. hmm.
Anyhow that is it today, talk to “ya’ll” tomorrow!

Today has been pretty normal.
I had Latina, and thats a great thing! I think I got Brenda (or Brenda got herself) in trouble for not following proceedure stuff. She obviously has a hard time following directions, even when they are put right infront of her. I kept on trying to think if I could have done anything to prevent Brenda from getting written-up but there was nothing I could have done. It was her fault for not making sure communication happened and happened correctly. I just have never NOT trusted any of my CNA’s because I haven’t had to. As far as Nursing Agencies go, I think mine right now, might be the worst. I won’t go into detail but thats what I’ve heard. Hopefully things will change when I get back from my trip that I am going on Wednesday the 30th. Who really knows, I think ANYTHING, good or bad, is possible at this point.
So tonight is another night where I am left alone. My mom is busy packing and getting everything cleaned up before the trip. So of course I get stuck on the computer, reviewing a packing list for myself for about the millionth time. :-\
That’s about it, not many events today.
I’ll write more tomorrow.

First of all, I want to let you all who are reading my post know that I am NOT against nurses at all. You people are the most amazing people with a lot of skill and wayyyy underpaid. I am soooo not kidding!
But today, I am going to talk about me and my situation as it stands. (or sits…)
OK, so I have this “nurse”, and my thought is that I really don’t need a nurse but a person instead. Ya I know, pretty forward. Honestly, I really don’t understand why some nurses have to be so dumb. Yea, the one I have now is dumb. She is unintentionally turning people against me, but doing it in such a way it looks intentional.
Her name is Brenda. That’s all I am going to say about her name. She says she is 40 but acts like she is 5 years old. What I mean exactly is she doesn’t have good grammar and about everything she says I have to repeat it back to myself to fill in the blanks. Her sentences seriously lack structure. When I do finally guess correctly at what she is saying, it’s totally different than what she said… if that even makes any sense?! She is short, which I don’t have anything against that cuz I’m short too. I’m wayyy short. And she is really “cutzy” meaning she is basically southern. Well, that doesn’t really get too much on my nerves.
What bothers me today is the simple fact of her not communicating. (a simple thing a 5 year old can do) She told me that she needed to be home at 5:00PM so that she can be at home for her daughter. Which is all fine because she is supposed to get off of work at 4:30PM. So Latina (my AWESOME nurse person) is supposed to pick Brenda up in the afternoon and drop her off at my house in the morning (Tuesdays and Thursdays). Well poor Latina is also the business manager of the nursing agency I’m with, so Latina didn’t have time to pick Brenda up by 4:30PM but did have time at 5:30PM. Therefore, Brenda made arrangements with the van service called ICATS to pick her up at 2:00PM! Brenda neglected to tell Latina her situation and what was happening and proceeded to tell me that she already took care of telling Latina (in whatever language she was talking in). Well, come to find out at about 4:15PM Latina calls me up and says that she is on her way to my house. I said, “Cool, why are you coming to my house?” (of course assuming that Brenda had told Latina her situation).
Latina was furious when I told her that Brenda had left at 2:00PM on ICATS. Latina and Brenda live in Statesville and I am about 15 minutes (on good traffic days) away from there. Latina was on her way to pick up Brenda so they could go home.
Needless to say, Brenda owes some apologies. She owes Latina an apology for driving all the way down here for nothing; especially, when gas is like it is now! (BTW, Latina was mad at me for not telling her about Brenda’s situation.) And ME because she put me in the freakin middle of this stupid mess! It all could have been prevented! This blog didn’t have to be here like this. GRRR

I didn’t really figure out WordPress.com, its still really confusing, BUT!, I have just decided to live with it as it is. I have to admit, you have to do a lot of blogging to fill this thing up!
So, right now I am testing out my many chairs to see which one of my manuals I am going to take. Let me be the first to say that it is not fun AT ALL! Talk about seating systems I’ve out-grown and UNCOMFORTABLENESS!!! So yeah, thats been all my life tonight, oh and Im eating watermelon. Good southern summer treat, which I will tell you I AM NOT A SOUTHERNER!!! I am a westerner and proud of it.

Is not an easy task, but I intend to do it, REGARDLESS! I wish it was somewhat easier to do get used to because MySpace is easier to me for some reasons. Not much to click on, you can always get back to “Home” if you need to. Its just sorta easier… um yea. Becoming a Graphic Artist, I really would like to change my layouts,… but… I am not great with HTML codes. I deal much easier with just making stuff on Paint Shop programs. Which reminds me, I need a MAC. People say there is a lot of better graphic stuff on MAC but who knows, I’ve only owned a PC. So yea, I am going to try to get more familiar with this site and I will write back later. 
Wish me luck!
