Strange isn't that we have so many numbers connected with our lives. If I put in commas or decimal to these number one would have complete different meaning.
If I said I made twenty three dollars and hour compare to nine dollar hour.
If our yearly wage was 31861 vs 11011. The odds would be you would have a different opinion. I bet my sweet bib your trying to figure out the hourly wage.
I could list more numbers I rather be known on my own doing of good will toward all

Which or What Should One Do

Confession time....I feel guilty of being such a pain to others. Being angry over several different feeling once again.
Let me tell you and hope I can make a clear dessissions on what I'll be doing or should be doing about my work with Donna


Let just start and it wasn't direct at me but it bothered me when Donna said “It's about time Jon get the carpert clean.” Then she add “before my guess arives”
Then let up date to friday.

I was cleaning the bathroom which I haven't clean in while and so I had no trouble doing this. There was about an inch from the top and I over looked it. Not just like she going to run out.
She went into the bathroom and said “You didn't finish the bathroom you didn't fill up the soap dispenser, the ladies will see it”

I don't know why this happen but Donna but takes on this other nasty side I call the “Queen Bee sitting on her throne”
it only seem to happen when she about to host praise and worship the there a 95% chance I really feel like quiting and this only once a month.
Confession time... I thought of falling down the stairs and try to injury my self. But I'm afried that I may injury my self so bad. Plus I'm to much of a cheap skate to do it
But when it not time for the praise and worsip gathering she really is actual right down kind heart it perosn and there only a 20% chance to quite. Let me say there a lot worst out there.
Confession time...There places I go I complain to others about Donna driving me nuts. I tell anyone where I can get a away with it. Which I know I shouldn't be doing it. Plus it's not fair to them either


Then on the flip side of the coin. Since she start doing so much better. Looseing weight a fairly rapid pace. On her first round she lost I believe she lost 40 pounds in six weeks.
Plus just resently she been doing the HCG shots and back on the very low calorie diet. I can see where once again she is shrinking in size.
One morning she and I was having a cup of coffee. She was in her underies with her bedding covering up part of her lap but some of her was exposed.
Actual her underware was loose which I haven't seen before.
Now she has this physical therpist who been a mirlce worker. When she began she couldn't no how even take a step up but now her physical therapist got her to step up on her re bounder a smaller trampoline.
So at this time. I really see her making gain but I worry that if I quite she won't continue with her diet protocol if I don't stay.



I don't know if I need to quit; want to quite.
Confession time...I got turn into a collection agency though Kaniksu Health Services I know darn well they been paid.
But I'm so beat and torn up that there suggest a mess in so many area in my life I can't prove. If one took a look at the way I fill things one could see. I paid this bill and the easier way to take care of it is to pay it again.
In short of thing I just don't have the ump to stand up to them.
The point at this time if I stay on my job. I don't have the energy to do anything because I'm so drain.
Then if I quite I won't have the income to do anything.
So either way it a loose/loose situation



There was a little bit to do on the Garage/shed. The back side which is the north side we had to finish up the upper part. We even add a second coat but Bart put on first coat this summer.
statement time...Murphy and I accomplish something which I rarely feel I know the trim needs to be done which will be a dark green. The opposite way our home is painted

I'm :Learning I'm Falling Behind Is Ok


Fall has came and our oldest Son Sawyer turn 22 years old this year the first day after the fall equinox. Most people says he looks like me.
I'm real proud of him actual both of our sons. Both of hard workers, and responsible people. They both got our common sense.



With work and not knowing the future we put in a much to large of garden. I didn't expect Murphy to go hack to work. But he ended up.
So the garden went to way side. We did get some harvest off of it. Even considering the cool summer we had.
I have to say I'm not sure what we will do next year when it comes to the garden. I know if I have the same hours it will be smaller.
My job takes a tole on you emotionally

I been having my blog printed off from company called blog to print just recently I send in an order, fourth book. This book which I place an order will be from June 22, 2007 until September 30, 2007
Confession time...This is one of my hardest issue for me to print. In this issue because of the death of our nephew. It been 3 years ago it still bothers me and I strongly believe my hubby I try to get them printed up each quarter. The next one I'll be ordering is Oct 1 until the first day of winter in 2007. I will be placing the order around yule season.



Get this...About month or two. La Walla stop over at Donna and I sat down for a short break to gather my thoughts. I'm hard worker and try to achieve a good job when I'm at work.
Donna had the nerve to say “Remember your on the clock” So it pissed off La Walla and she told a few other people about how Donna is treating me. Statement time...It actual pissed me off also
Anyhow she act like this home care is coming out of her own pocket.
The only reason I stay there now. I believe she want to loose the weight and become less depending on others.
But there someday she says thing and do things she really like being depend on someone else. Then other time I think she wants to be more on her own.
I believe her review is in May. If she loose the weight and cut back on Medicaid. I'm guessing there will be her hours cut back from 15 hours. I'm guessing her new hours will be between 13.5 and 12.0 hours weekly
She still would have quite a bit of weight to loose and she using the HCG diet and it will take a least 3 years of this diet to get down so she will not have her weight as an issue for disability
Because of other health issue and bad knees. I believe she will be able to keep her hours between 5 and 8 hours weekly.
Before she said “Remember your on the clock” One day she was talking about loosing the weight and having to loose her SSI benefit.
She was talking about of loosing her SSI which is her only income and it would be scarey to loose one income. Not sure what kinda benefits she can get with regular social security
But when she said “I don't want to do a job I don't like” I thought to self “What the hell! What makes you so special ...I'm doing a job now I don't like”
Then on Monday I called in sick which I hardly ever do. She was wondering if she was going to get her hours in.
She said a prayer for me and I wondering if the reason she said the prayer so I could get better and be her servant.
But I been told she treat me the best of all of her care givers.
Opinion time...sure there been moments but in general I really don't have that much to complaint about
I've seen a lot worst ones.





I was taking a brief look around the place to see what kind of changes are happening the main thing I notice for Mabon season is the days are becoming shorter. It been a wet this September so far we have just a hair under 4 inches (10.1)
But I don't know because of all the rain this year but there a lot of mushroom. Saw a few shaggy mane mushroom but yet haven't picked any and there ok to use fresh but not a keeper.
Now for leaves turn color most of them are green and strongly attach to the tree branches.

No It Wasn't Make Believe


It was a good change of pace going up on Myrtle and got a load of firewood. Larch that is! I feel like I been on mental vacation. It was damp and misty actual warm or least not leaning toward cold and wet. I was even wishing for snow flake or two. So I stuck out my tongue and made believe for few minute it was snowing



Short time ago Sawyer and his cousin Sam came up and did some brush clearing around deep creek. Murphy sister Susan and her husband Jon bought some property out in Naples. Which is Sam mom.
Sawyer bought Husky chain saw anther words, “Husqvarna
Well I knew Sawyer said he put his saw in back of our Toyota pick so his dad could use it but I forgot.
I notice Murphy was busy cutting the logs into firewood length which is about 18 inches (45.7 Cm) long that would fit into our wood stove about 18 inches.
I say to Murphy “When did you get that Husky saw” He says “oh I just picked it up few days ago” Then I replied “Ok” But I forgot he bent his other bar on the chain saw and it had to be replace and they stuck a husky bar on it.
I was well over 80% sure that Sawyer chain saw had a bigger bar on it Yes it look like Sawyer bar on his saw is 24 inches (96.7 cm) and his dads is only 18 inches.(45.7 cm).


Well the firewood gathering actual went smoothly compare to some of our firewood adventure. We even had to pull a few trees over with a rope. The big yellow rope broke by the knot of tie off. So I may thinking of getting hubby anther big 2 inch (5.8 Cm) width of rope of Christmas present.
Well it went good and we did get a nice load of firewood for this winter



But of the way down Murphy drove and we had to put the heavy plastic basket on passenger side on the floor. It actual put me in lazy boy chair position.
I decide to smoke a little weed with Murphy. I usual don't smoke every hardly. I really don't mind smoking when I'm in a good mood. Statement time...I don't see how anyone want to drink alcohol, or smoke pot on daily bases




On the way up we say 2 mule bucks a spike and 2 by 2. Then on the way out around the same place we say two mule deers. So yes I had a day of joy brought to you by the mountains.

With Life There Sure Can Be Some Moments

I haven't post anything recently from the heart of me. Sorry to say it's the same ole grin. I really feel bad when I bitch and moan about my job. Confession time...My dad griped a lot and it very tiring to listen to someone always complaining
But yes there more to my life then home care


As some of you know I do ceramic. Well in the evening I been working on ceramics it not going as fast as would like.
At this time I been doing a sea shell box which would be great thing to hold cotton balls in. So I'll be doing this in an under-glaze. I had to dig under the stair case to get the paints and retrieve them
I got some ceramic supplies and a few pieces at thrift stores although who knows when I'll get to them.
There are the moments I have doubt about doing ceramic but I have to keep reminding my self. It doesn't matter how small the right action is it moving forward.

I also been working on some Genealogy. I found out some info on my 4th great grandparents I believe Mary Ranger who married to Ajibah Witherell


As for present day family and friend happening. I gather not post it but maybe at latter day. I will have the time to post some stuff from the closet
But both are in college. Sawyer living in Spokane Valley and Bart in Courd'Alene Idaho.
It looks like Murphy is going have a lay off. I was hoping his season would last longer at the tree farm but there so much around here to be done before winter set in.


It really wasn't much of gardening year. It was cool summer. Work has a tole on me emotional. So if I have the same amount of hours we having a smaller garden.
My flower bed is full of weed and the garden has it fair share.
honest time...I really don't give rats ass

Now for my house keeping I have a bad attitude about my home. Out of mental survival “I real don't give a F what my place look like.
On the days I have only one client I do 40 minute of cleaning and 2 chores around the place. I'm thinking of changing this to 20 minute of cleaning and 4 chores.
Then the days I have 2 client I do two chores and 20 minutes worth of cleaning on our place.


I don't see when all these people have time to play all of these computer games. I play four on facebook I rotate them though out the month by weeks.
The games I do is cafe world, farmville, froniterville, and treasure island.


I still go to tops but lately with my client and their medical appointment. I haven't been able to attended. As for my choices of health habits that is a struggle. Mainly I have a don't care attitude.
Which I know I need to do something about,


Now for brief wind of political I'm still a common sense liberal. For spiritual I don't think any organize religions is right. So I like the idea of being metaphysical.


I think I cover all the tags on my blog except blah blah. Well for my clients there doing and some-days it's better then other. So is life

Yes. I have a thought on jobs

Happy Labor Day. My hubby and I have actual jobs that pays a living wage for this area. But we have the fear of being cutback or complete loosing them.



But I have a few ideal that would make my job a lot better and it could also benefit others. I do home care (personal care giver) and we are assign a certain amount time to take care of the need of clients which is usual fair.
But every so often. I'll run into overtime which I don't get paid. Mostly when I have to transport some one to a medical appointment, and when a client needs a special project done.



Let say a client may have a doctor appointment at 10 in the morning and the doctor actual see the person at 11:30. Order some test have to drive the client to where the test need to be done and they may be wait there. My hours are being use to up and once there use up. I'm working for free and that isn't right.




There been a few times when something came up and special project needed to be done. The hours we are assign real isn't enough to cover any extra task.




As how I would handle the medical. Yes, anther form. This form would be such as the time you left the client resident. Once you arrived at medical appointment document the time and the time you leave the office. Get signature from the medical office.
Do this at each place.
This document would be turn in with ones regular paper work.



Then when it comes to special project. One would have to apply early for any special task the client feels they need.
They would have to have a pre-list of item that one could do consider special project. Then each listed project would be a signed a certain amount of time.
Let say wash walls 3 to 6 hours and only could be done once in a 24 month period.
But for client not to take advantage of special task one would only be aloud a certain amount of time for entire year. Let say for example 10 hours a year.



A brief lesson on home care or a personal care giver. I work though an agency which bills Medicaid and who sets up the hours that the client receive.
As known I could be telling more about job troubles in home care (personal care). There a large turn over for many reason because of being burn out emotional and physical. I believe if these two area would be addressed of the medical appointments and special task there would be less burn out.



Wish you a wonderful Labor Day
