I just got off of work for the night and had to tell my boss that I'll be leaving in a few weeks....and it was sad. I call her my boss, but I don't look at her in that way at all. Those people are family to me. I've mentioned it here before, but I'm a personal care attendant and work with a family of 3 people in wheelchairs ages 23-30 who live with their mom and dad and they are all amazing people. All 3 of the people I work with are considered to have sever mental retardation, though I debate that in some areas...they understand and make more sense than the rest of the world sometimes. They all have a rare muscle degenerative disease called Mucolipidosis Type IV. Their mom and dad are some of the most incredible people I've ever met. The dad has multiple sclerosis unrelated to the children's disease, and the mom does more charity work than anyone I've ever met, all while taking care of her kids and husband. I never leave their house without a smile on my face and I've never met a more positive and loving group of people in all my life. They'll continue to be in my life as long as they're on this earth, but it will be hard after 6 years of working with them to say goodbye in that respect. They are the reason that I'm in this field.
On a different note, how about those Tigers?!! LSU is doing one hell of a job of making me temporarily forget the travesty that was the Saints game on Thursday night. LSU just went into half-time against Virginia Tech 24-0! What an amazing team. I'd kill to be at that game right now. My sister got 4 tickets to the game, and I could've gone...but I had to work. It's all good though, I'm enjoying it on TV. Now if only the Saints could take some pointers from the Tigers, we might be OK! What the hell happened to the Saints? I'm really hoping that the Colts are just THAT good. Which they are, and they did play one hell of a game, but we did play a pretty shitty game. Step it up boys!
And finally, there are only 3 left right now, which may be gone by the time I post this, but Lisa Snellings-Clark has posted little black poppets!!! Of course I bought mine already :p
Here's the link to her current sale. If you don't see them up anymore, keep checking back as she may add more. I noticed she also added some more purple poppets and those really cool harlequin candle holders! Also check out her latest blog post as she has a preview of things to come for Halloween time...mwuhahahah! Now go buy a goth poppet!
whole lot lot has been going on. There have been a couple of new arrivals at the house. The first was my little black poppet who is so very, very cool and fits in nicely with the purple poppet. I think that black and purple will join forces and be mascots together for the remainder of the RIP challenge as they seemed to do well together for The Historian. I also picked up the new Orson Scott Card book a couple of days ago and I'm almost finished that and it's amazing! But that should be no surprise coming out of my mouth. It's called Invasive Procedures, and I should have a review up either tonight or sometime tomorrow.
