night time is the right time...

So I guess the way to keep updating this thing is to do it on nightshift when I have nothing else to do anyway (pending my patients sleeping throught the night, that is).

I'm at McMaster tonight. Watching a man sleep is rather boring. But at least I have freedom to watch his tv or play on the computer! Night shift isn't so bad, actually. I don't mind doing it at all. ... especially 12 hour shifts! You work three days, and then maybe a fourth, and you're done for the week! Woohoo!

Back at work.

So. I haven't updated in about a year. geez. I've never been great at journal keeping. Perhaps I prefer to just have no written proof of my actions...I don't know. This is a good way to keep in touch with folks though.

Last year at this time I had just gotten my job at the hospital. (Or, I should say hospitals, since I work at four different ones.) God has blessed me this past year.  I have had a remarkably stress-free year, no major changes, no financial difficulty. Much emotional healing has taken place. I am more comfortable with who I am and how my life is. It's like He has just led me to a quiet place of rest and rejuvenation. I have enjoyed it.

My job has gone well. I have been blessed in this area as well. I was thinking about something the other day...Every day this year that I worked, I had to depend on God for my shift. I am classed as "Casual part time" which means that I am guaranteed NOTHING. I had to trust God that there would be a shift for me EVERY DAY. And He delivered!  I get 75 hours every payday (the maximum allowable)  It really pounded home the true meaning of "Give us this day our daily bread".

I was at camp Omagh for the last two weeks. Intermittently really fun and really stressful. I was supposed to be one of the "helper" cooks for teen week, but then I got there and the head cook was sick. Yikes! I'm sorry she was sick, but I had never cooked at Omagh before (or anywhere else, really) and I was quite stressed. But nobody died, and everyone ate the food, and I even got compliments! Yippee!

And now, dear friends, it is 230 in the morning and I am at work. (that was another extra special tidbit for my day...doing a night shift the same day I came home from camp.)  It is going nicely, although I am QUITE SLEEPY.

Will post more later. (maybe). Love to all who read this.

So, I reallly don't have much to say...just working hard and trying to get back on track spiritually..it's been a bad summer for me in that area. I suffered a relapse in my depression, and kind of lost my direction for several weeks.  Doing a lot of wrong stuff with the wrong people.  I don't know exactly why I do this.  I always feel ashamed afterward. But....it's like I'm on a fishing line or something...no matter how far I go, God always reels me back. So for this I feel lucky. and humbled.

Enough of that.  Everything else is going quite well.  I had an interview with the hospital last week.  I reallllly hope I get it.  I'm a Personal Support Worker (Nurse's aide, health care aide, etc...) and there isn't a really large niche for us in the hospital setting, but there are some jobs available and of course, EVERYBODY wants them.  The pays great, much better than a nursing home and the workload is not quite as heavy, so the hospital is a really great place to work.  I hope I get it.....

I guess that's all for now.  Love y'all!
