Good morning....so glad to have you back Dina safe and sound.

Life of a nursing student has been crazy.....we are down to our final days (12 to go) and finishing up on the "work" portion of this class. I have been in the OR everyday and have 4 more days to go. Man the stuff I see.....

Oh well...hoping that I can get a job when this is all said and done.

Have a good day all.......

I think that every person under 30 that wants to buy a "crotch rocket" (aka motorcycle that a lot of young people ride) should have to spend a day or two watching real videos of motorcycle accidents.

Who's with me on this one?

TY. Glad to be home. The drive back was LONG!! It seemed so much longer than the way UP. I split it up coming back.
I even planted a letterbox in PA.
I stopped to FIND a letterbox twice along the way home... I did the SEARCH for everything 1 mile from the interstate....... but one I couldn't even find the PARK.... and another one.... appeared to be on private property.... and I didn't dare go for it. (chicken).

My power bill was overdue.... I had the check.... and was to drop it off in their night box over last weekend. I ended up taking it up to NY with me.....
I realized that I still had it and planned to stop on the way in YESTERDAY and pay it.
Well....... cut off date was yesterday morning... and sure enough...... it got shut off !
We had to have it turned back on.... with a reconnect fee and all that.
I called them to explain the situation..... the drive to NY.... Mama passing away..... etc....
but they wouldn't BUDGE. I really thought they could have cut me some slack, but they gave me the "If we waive it for you, we have to waive it for everyone" speech. GRRRRRRR
So.... I came home to THAT !!!

But... Charlie and I went out to dinner and spent a nice evening together. I slept good last night. Today I have to sort through some of Mama's stuff and pictures and all that. YIKES

I really have been OK. I have been painfully aware of how bad off Mama was..... for the last year or so especially. This terrible alzheimers disease had attacked her relentlessly.... and she was reduced to "existing" instead of living. The caregivers at the nursing home said they checked on her and she was snoozing.... checked a few minutes later and she was gone. She didn't have a bad spell or anything...... she just was called home in her sleep. We should all be lucky enough to "GO" like that !
I believe in Heaven.... as did Mama..... and I know that she's there now.... and her mind is sharp and clear!! I'm sad that she "went", but can't be selfish enough to wish her back... not the way she was. I loved her so very much. I need to believe she's happy and healthy again .... singing with the Angels. (Mama couldn't sing...... but she can NOW!!Teehee)

Thank you again for your thoughts, prayers and virtual hugs. It has all helped far more than you know.
Charlie was good to keep everyone informed and he has been praying for me too.....
mostly that I'd come home soon....... LOL He missed me... I'm not sure, but I think he might like me just a little tad bit.
What do you think ???

HUGS TO EVERYONE
Dina B.

What? You think I might have a future in coffee roasting? Actually I don't think I'd mind that job.
