Dementia and Alzheimer's.....the thieves of lives. I hate both diseases. Mom and Dad both had multi infarct or vascular dementia. There isn't much to tell me that I haven't lived through myself concerning memory diseases.

As for swearing. It's funny, really. Example. Aid comes up to the desk "ummmm, becky, you know the new lady in 207? Me: Yes? Aid: Ummm....she's on the floor. Me: ****! I told you guys to keep an eye on her...I grab my b/p gear and stethoscope....Aid: Well she can't move her left leg either...... and she has a deep scalp wound....Me *** **** it! What the **** were you guys doing anyway?! I had you doing ********15 minute checks on her! ******! I just admitted her less than an hour ago! You ******* trying to set a new record on how fast I can transport someone to the hospital? Or are you just trying to get me *****fired! I tell you if I go, I'm taking as many of you *******aids with me as I can!

Yeah, I came by the reputation of being a CARPING WITCH! honestly! The latter was a common threat we nurses made to the aids. Reason we had a high turnover for aids, lol!

6 Months earlier when I started the job everyone thought I was 'sweet'. Man did they change that opinion fast!

@KDOGG331 you hang in there girl. You'll do it!

@microchick thank you! Definitely trying!

Also, figured I should update:

Ended up staying in until like 2:30

BUT!

Didn’t end up going off anywhere and instead went out to check the chickens again then. Ended up staying out for like 2 hours and only just came in maybe 10 minutes ago.

Weeded the garden. Or at least like half of it. There were a lot of weeds in that half though.

Then decided to finally plant the peas I’ve been meaning to. I bought them with. A bunch of other plants like late June early July but never planted them planted all the others but not them so they kinda took root where they were sitting and were doing well surprisingly, flowering and stuff, for a while, but now had gotten really dried out and were dying. So anyway, finally moved them to a different, wide open section of the garden and planted them. There were only 6 spaces in the tray but multiple plants in some of the sections so by the time I separated them all out/gently pulled apart the roots there were 10 plants. Some huge and thriving and others smaller but still alive. Anyway, got all 10 planted. Also picked 2 more squash and a couple hot peppers. The squash is producing sooooo many squash. We are overrun LOL the plant is HUGE!! But for some reason, some of the leaves are dying and I just noticed today the stem looks almost like rotten? And the base of the leaves that are dying are all mushy so idk what’s going on. But it’s still producing tons of squash.

Anyway, I then proceeded to give the chickens an extra bowl of food and refill the water again and a smaller bowl of water even though the water is barely lowered from when I filled it this morning lol

Threw Blackie off the nest and kept everyone outside while I added the extra bowl of food inside.

Anyway, I am exhausted and drenched in sweat and my back is sore from all the digging/planting/bending so I’m going to shower and then my mom and I are off yet again lol but this time only for the night.

I take a vitamin every night 3 of 1 kind total that is suppose to be what keeps me from going daffy now my knowledge is kinda limited but sperm bank father had Alzheimer's according to Dr's. My Ma's Mother, Grandma was senile grew to believe her children where her siblings finally passed at 103 but knew who my Brother and I, she always had sane words when we could visit ..
Ma herself went septic that lead to a dementia according to her Dr.

sorry can't like that penny.
Despite all that, I think you are quite a human dynamo. I know I would always pick you first if I had a team.

So... I have a few suspicions on what was going on in that family. but I dont dwell...

Wow, I guess I've had a pretty boring life! And just maybe I'm glad of that!!!

Anybody ever heard of this breed before? Sounds very interesting.

Yep, where Penny is concerned, diamonds and dynamite both come in small packages.

 

[ShrekDawg]

And I think the rooster is very handsome.

Also I find it crazy that for such an expensive breed they’re just giving him away for FREE!

 

[ShrekDawg]

Also we made it to the hotel around quarter to 8 or 8.

Bad thunderstorms currently and pouring rain.

Supposed to hit home tomorrow.

My phone keeps freezing when I try to take a video but this storm is crazy right now. There’s a literal river flowing down the parking lot and crazy lightning.
