2009
Just thought I would write since I haven't done so in awhile. I just got off my two night shifts. So yesterday I set the alarm to wake up at 2pm because I like to get a little sleep then wake up and go back to bed around 12 or 2am then I am ready to begin living day shift hours again on Wednesday. Well this week it didn't quite work according to plan. First of all I stumped my second toe while getting to the bed and it was throbbing so I had problems getting to sleep,when I did get to sleep it seemed like the alarm went off so I turned the thing off. So ended up getting out of bed at 5pm.....Hobbled down the steps into the living room because while I was asleep seems like my toe got more swollen and hurt when I walked. Didn't take long for me to get on the couch and fall asleep again finally I went back to bed and sleep until 3am this morning. Toe still hurts but not as bad so I figured I am up for the day. I hate it when the routine is broken because it means I am going to be tired and want to go to sleep before 7pm tonight.... Christmas Holiday was good. One of Peter's daughters came and stayed Peter cooked most of the dinner which I helped with side dishes. New Year eve we went to Shannon, Ireland(about an hours drive from here) to visit Peter son and daughter in law. Bring in the new year with them. Ended up drinking too much which I haven't drank in a while so any amount with me is too much LOL Had a good time watching Peter's grand kids playing with all their toys, but missing mine. Then on the way home the next day we stop over on our way home to visit Peter other son and his girlfriend they have a baby that is just a year old. I think we did more traveling in one day then we have all year. But we had fun and everybody is well. Peter's daughter in law is expecting another baby in July. We have decide to visit Kentucky in September instead of June. Hopefully airflights will go down a bit by then. Gives me more time to save money for the trip also. Really looking forward to seeing my family again. I bought a digital camera online which I should be getting sometimes this week so I will be taking lots of pictures. I really hope everybody had a nice Holiday and it wasn't too sad. I had my ups and downs started crying when making dishes I use to make when the kids were all at home and small. I forced myself to be around people rather than withdraw to my room and be by myself. I even when to went to our Christmas party at work well really it was more of less at a resturant we ate and some people went on to pubs and I went home. Which that was a waste of my time because the food wasn't good and no entertainment afterwards. I am still working at the same nursig home and the way things looks I might still be working there for some time. The economy is bad here also, plants are closing and more people on unemployment. So I think I should stick with it until I get my citizenship because I don't know about me not being a citizen as of yet and being unemployed. Well maybe if I watch some TV I can go back to sleep for awhile. I think i will take a pain pill for my toe and hopefully get back to normal later on today. I think of all my friends on this site daily and wish everyone the best. You are the best people and I hate that we had to meet this way. Love to each one of you.
