i know it has been quite a while since i've last blogged..
Dad forced Mom back into the shower to get her cleaned, he couldn't stand the smell anymore and Mom was refusing to cooperate, so he basically did push her in.. after a few times of her crying every time it was shower time, she now is back in the habit of showering with Dad having to wash her completely now becuz she has no clue on what to do..
Mom has reverted to more child-like and puppy dog mentality with Dad, she follows him all over the house and outside, if he does any cleaning or yard work..
Mom doesn't know how to clean herself up after going to the bathroom, she now needs assistance but she doesn't want to go alone, and usually she signals to one of us to go with her..
i'm usually with her all day starting at 9am til 4 or 5pm, whenever Dad and Jeff get home from work..
i'm finishing my Associates Degree for Health Sciences, i'm working on the prerequisite courses now since i finished my main course work and was given my diploma of certification for Medical Administrative Assistant..
my phone has constantly been ringing with calls from my Career Services Advisers trying to let me know of job openings in my area and my resume was redone and rewritten by resume writers who make me sound so very qualified for anything!
i've also finally gotten to talk to Academic Coaches becuz of a minor plagiarism issue, even tho i cited my sources for an assignment, the instructor still felt that i was plagiarizing and she wanted me to redo my work or else she's have to report me..
i called the coaches to get some help on how to write in a way that didn't sound like verbatim.. i was told by an adviser that facts are facts and everybody is gonna quote them, but the disaster was avoided..
i did get to one interview for a front desk receptionist, but she felt i didn't have quite enough experience to do the job.. it's a small office that is overwhelmed and understaffed and the office manager is doing 4 jobs to keep it running.. i knew that i nailed the interview but i was fine with her decision, i really didn't want to get dumped into a situation that was gonna be trying to catch up with everyone else..
and i've been passed to another Career Services adviser and my phone has been silent for a week.. i did talk to him once just to give him info he needed to be able to do quick applies to applications for job openings and for us to get to know each other.. but i'm not comfortable with my phone not ringing.. it's weird for me.. since the other advisers were always calling me at least every other day..
in January was the new wage hike for minimum wage employees.. i'm now $7 an hour on the road and $10 an hour in the store for my pizza delivery job.. my paychecks have definitely improved, even me working weekends still, are now showing more money earned.. it's still the amount of half of a full time worker's check.. but it's much improved..
the tips have been dreadful for the last few months.. but at least it's enough to put gas in my car daily during my weekend job..
we're not podcasting as much, due to both of our lives are busy.. my partner Matt is busy with school and his job and now he's making plans to move to another state to be with his girlfriend.. Mom can't be left alone and my Sis has been so sick with Acute Bronchitis which is contagious and severe.. so she hasn't been able to sit with her so i can podcast.. and she hasn't been able to work for 2 weeks already.. while i did the rum remedy that kept me from getting sick..
sometimes i can get my snowbird neighbor, Carol, who is a retired nurse, to sit with Mom on occasions..
Skype hasn't been doing so great, so i did find another chat program which seems to work better and i told Matt about it, so we're gonna try it out..
i use it for my DnD online gaming, and i'm talking to people all over the States, including Hawaii.. and it's a more solid connection and no buffering like damm Skype does..
i might have to just bring Mom over to my house probably.. when i podcast and put her in front of our TV to keep her entertained.. that just might do it..
but not until Sis gets better..
i'm on medication now for hypertension and thyroid issues, i'm still having pelvic pains that haven't been resolved yet.. i'm a mystery.. i just need to get to a chiropractor to get an adjustment in my back, hopefully that will solve it in my front.. i've been having pelvic pains since September and they refuse to give me pain meds, becuz i asked for them to be able to function and deal with the pain.. so now i'm flagged as a junkie, for asking for pain meds to deal with pain.. i'm still trying to figure that one out.. i need a buttload of pills to deal with my buttload of pain (Dr. House quote) i took 9 today becuz i couldn't walk normally..
so right now i can walk but it doesn't hurt as bad as when i woke up..
the pelvic pain is any use of my lower abdomen core muscles, even sneezing hurts so bad..
transitional movements, bending, rolling over in bed, coughing.. it feels like i'm being punched in the guts with the Hulk's fist.. everything feels bruised is the best way i can describe it.. even the pelvis bones feel bruised.. i'm a mystery, they couldn't find any evidence of me being injured.. so they think i'm lying becuz i'm not crying my eyes out or screaming.. and my weight is being addressed with the thyroid medicine.. i just need to figure out how to do more without hurting myself worse.. first step is getting to a chiropractor and then i'll go to our latest gym that's opened up to get a trainer to help me..
i was prescribed physical therapy but that was limited thru my insurance..
no physical therapy, my pains have worsened.. but i'll figure something out..
Little Chris has his own PS3 now and we share some games we can play online together..
Plants VS Zombies Garden Warfare and Minecraft and i gave him my original Skyrim disc becuz i bought a legendary edition of Skyrim, so now we watch each other play Skyrim!!
we are so into Skyrim, for Halloween i put together a Dovahkin costume for him and this year i will try to dress as one too so we can be Dovahkin together..!
my school has been sending out my resumes online to local medical offices all over town, i went to one interview a couple of weeks ago... even tho i did nail the interview, i just wasn't experienced enough for them to give me a job.. i have another interview on Monday(2-27) morning and 3 people are gonna be interviewing me, i'm not quite freaking out yet, but i probably will be in the morning.. my school advisers have been calling me all weekend to prep me for the interview.. they really want me to succeed but it's lots of pressure becuz i don't wanna let them down, but i was told that me just going to these interviews is a big step and they are proud of that!
see? so much has happened and i'm still working towards changing my home life for the better, we all need a break from Mom, including Dad.. He needs to be taken care of so that he can be around for a while longer..
stay tuned for more news updates..
