Yes, I'm still alive.....I think

I am still here (if anyone cares) ha!
I am working, I got my first paycheck last week, and I was sooooo happy to see it. It's been over TWO years since I got a paycheck that I actually earned! Unemployment is not earned (at least in my mind for me), and it's really no fun fighting for it either:)
Still going to school too, with no end in sight for at least another year or so.
Bigblock hit an 8-point buck last week with his truck. He's not hurt, but the same can't be said for his truck. Over $5,000 damage, thank goodness for insurance!

So, how is your week/month/day going? I'd love to hear from anyone.
Anyone still out there?

Please

Update: I've heard that Sara passed away, but her family still needs our prayers!




Please pray for Sara and her family!

Thank you

Scared Silly

Hello everyone out there in bloggy land. How is your week going?

So, what's the title about? Well, today I went and took my NCLEX-PN exam. I don't feel like I did so well...and I am the kind to worry if there's nothing to worry about....really need to get that under control! Now I wait...and wait...and wait, for the results. And, I want to add..if I passed then I owe it all to GOD, because I've really been bothering HIM lately. Please, if you have a mind to..would you please say a prayer for me too? I'll let you know the results when I get them.

I'm off to bed, all this worrying is tiring!


UPDATE:

I PASSED!!! Thanks for your prayers and Thank you GOD!!

I Found You...

Now don't get scared, I'm not a crazed stalker or anything. But, today while on KellysKorner I found someone that lives in the next town to me. How cool is that?

I have been incredibly busy lately. Like who hasn't right? But I still get around and see what everyone is up to these days. I hope to have more time to blog by the end of the month. I just love hearing about and meeting new friends over the net.

We are getting cooler temps during the day here. Autumn is my favorite time of the year, though technically it's not here yet it feels like it. Didn't seem like we had much of a Summer though, did it? Oh well, maybe we won't have much of a winter either (keeps fingers crossed)!

Have a great and SAFE holiday weekend!

Volunteering

Today I volunteered at the community hospital, it's been a year since they moved into their new digs. I had a BALL! Yes, it was fast-paced, and yes I am so tired that it hurts to think, but it was a very rewarding day.

Next week I start volunteering at a county health office. It is free to people of that community that lack insurance. The patients can receive their medications and office visits totally free. They also have a dentist that comes in for cleanings and extractions. Considering the financial status many people are in today, this is a great service for the community.

The last few years I have wanted to find places to volunteer my services, and I think the good feeling I get from assisting others is just what I need at this time in my life. If you have volunteered please share your experiences I would love to hear your opinions.

Garage Sales

I am writing this as I relax on my couch...My sis (the oldest) and I had a garage sale yesterday and today....it was a town wide sale...probably less than 1000 people in my little town...it kicked our arse....garage sales are WORK!!! Started each day around 7 a.m. and didn't end till about 5 p.m., so a total of approximately 10 hours EACH day...raked in a total of $28.00 the first day....even less the second....everyone wants you to give them your stuff....and guess what? I did give it away the second day....from now on, I am GOING to the sales NOT having them!!Ha

I am loving this weather we're having lately...so nice and warm with nary a cloud in the sky...ah Summertime, where have you been?

ATT and a break

Today I am cleaning out my closet for a garage sale tomorrow....I like going to them not having them, but when stuff is pouring out of your closet....it's time!

I have been out of school for almost exactly 2 weeks now. Monday I paid the fees to be able to sit for my NCLEX-PN exam. I got the Authorization To Test today....I'm panicking again today. I have been studying, but it doesn't seem like I learned enough in school. Talked to a friend...she feels the same way...what the heck?

So what is going on in your world today? I hope you're having a great summer even though we really haven't had the weather for it.
