MY PRIVATE PART DIED?
5/8/08 4 CommentsAn old man, Mr. Wallace, was living in a nursing home. ?
One day he appeared to be very sad and depressed. ?
Nurse Tracy asked him if there was anything wrong,
‘Yes, Nurse Tracy,’ said Mr. Wallace.
‘My Private Part died today, and I am very sad.’
Knowing her patients were a little forgetful and sometimes a little crazy, she replied, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry, Mr. Wallace. Please accept my condolences.’
The following day, Mr. Wallace was walking down the hall with his Private Part hanging out of his pajamas.
He met Nurse Tracy. ‘Mr. Wallace,’ she said, ‘You shouldn’t be walking down the hall like that. ? Please put your Private Part back inside your pajamas.’
‘But, Nurse Tracy I can’t,’ replied Mr. Wallace. ?’I told you yesterday that my Private Part died.
‘Yes,’ said Nurse Tracy, ‘you did tell me that, but why is it hanging out of your pajamas?’
(You’ve gotta love this )
‘Well,’ he replied, ‘Today is the viewing.’

Just a couple updates
5/6/08 2 CommentsFirst off, I didn’t get that job. I guess it wasn’t in my cards right now. I always say, there is a reason for everything. Especially now with my cousin being so ill, I am still able to help out with her.
Speaking of my cousin, she came home last night. She was dehydrated and she was pushing herself too hard going back to work when she did. She is feeling much better today and she stayed home from work.
We just found out that her doctor gave her 6 months to live, but we don’t know when he told her that. She is a tough cookie, that’s for sure and she isn’t going down without a fight.

Update on my cousin
5/5/08 2 CommentsMy cousin had gone to work today and stayed the whole day. When she got home, my aunt had noticed that she was slurring her words and kept stumbling. As I am typing, she is on her way to the hospital. This doesn’t look good at all!!! Please keep her in your prayers.

A very exhausting weekend.
5/4/08 0 CommentsI had gotten a phone call from my mom about my eldest cousin who is dying from cancer. She is in really bad shape and we know she isn’t going to be with us much longer. We have been over her house all weekend. My aunt, her mom, just got out of the hospital too and she can hardly take care of herself, let alone my poor cousin. My aunt is 88 years old and my cousin is 59. They were both recently in the hospital at the same time. Unfortunately for us, it was 2 different hospitals. Because of my aunts heart condition, we didn’t tell her that my cousin was in the hospital, because she would have signed herself out. They are 2 very stubborn people.
My cousin has been fighting cancer for about 6 years now. It has finally got the best of her even though she doesn’t think so. God Bless her that she has been so strong and has fought it up til now. She is not going down without a fight, that is for sure. She insists on doing everything herself and even is expecting to go to work tomorrow. She is a Math teacher at a high school and up until 2 weeks ago she has been working. She was off for spring break and then ended up in the hospital because her lungs were filling up. The doctors were afraid of pneumonia. She is home from the hospital now and wants to get back to her routine. She tutors a few students during the day at school. No one is fighting her on it becasue if that is what she wants to do, we are letting her do it. Because she is so stubborn, she probably will live a lot longer that we are thinking. To see her, is a very sad thing. She was a very strong, vibrant person and to see her all weak and fraile is depressing. She doesn’t want anyone feeling sorry for her. She is so weak and can hardly walk. She has fallen several times and thank God didn’t get hurt to badly.
My aunt just got home today and has trouble getting around. So we are a little concerned that she will be alone tomorrow for most of the day. My other cousin is staying the night to help out, but she has work tomorrow too. My aunt is so stubborn too and doesn’t want anyone to help her or feel sorry for her either.
We are all pretty much exhausted. Not only physically, but mentally and emotionally too. Maybe this is the reason that I have not gotten a job yet. Maybe this it he plan God had for me now, to help my cousin and aunt. It is funny how things work out. There is always a reason for everything.

I am so excited
5/1/08 4 CommentsI had gone on my first interview in 7 years today. I had applied for a job last week and last night I received a message from a woman saying that she wanted me to call her and set up an interview. I had called first thing this morning and she wanted to see me today. I really wasn’t ready, but I told her ok. I set up the appointment for 2:30 this afternoon so that I would have some time to get everything together and retype my cover page for my resume.
When I got to the interview, the woman I was suppose to meet was in a meeting, so I had to wait about a half hour for her. I was so nervous, but I was confident. She finally came into the waiting room and she brought me to a conference room. The interview went well, I hope. She is probably half my age but that is ok. I felt very comfortable. She said if I was chosen, she would let me know either Monday or Tuesday and then I would have to go back for a second interview with the other 2 people that I would be working for. If I get the job, I will be starting on Wednesday of this week already. That means, I have to go buy myself some new office clothes. My last job, was very laid back and I could wear jeans, with this job, I will have to dress up a little bit.
So please wish me luck.
