Right now, I’m on my first ever appointment as a courtesy aide/nurse’s aide! I’m with a resident who is 101. Wow. I was sitting for another resident when a nurse came in to pull me out. She said the resident was 101. I was thinking of the other resident who is 101. I saw her when I did my clinicals here. She was bedridden and would constantly say, “help me, baby, help me…” It’s another resident wh... » Continue Reading
Y’all. Today is December 12th, 2024. The date is literally a math equation. 1 2 + 1 2 = 20 24 Omg. Today is so special. I missed November 11th, 2011 (11-11-11) because I was a five-year-old who was yet to realize how special that day was. You better hope you get cryogenically frozen if you wish to see a date like December 12th, 2024 again. Live to December 12th, 2124. I wish » Continue Reading
Just got off my twelve hour shift at a nursing home. Still a courtesy aide. Y’all, you will not believe how RELIEVED I am to have a full-time job 😭🙏 Less in a place where you don’t even have to count money! Today was overall pretty good! Also it was pay-YAY! I earned $502.13! Once I get certified, it’ll go WAY up! I really care for these residents so that’s just motivation to keep on pushing! » Continue Reading
So I’ve been working at my town’s nursing home/rehabilitation center for a little under a month now. I had my state exam. I failed the skills part, but the excelled in the written part. Lemme tell you how relieved I am to know you don’t have to take both the written and the skills again if you fail one! I got hired along with my high school classmate. We had the same community college nursing assi... » Continue Reading
I’ve been regretting buying a Kindle Paperwhite 11th Gen on eBay for cheap because it’s taking too long to arrive and the new raspberry metallic Kindle Signature… I bought the Kindle to save money (I replaced a lost Kobo Libra 2) but I would have bought that new Kindle in a HEARTBEAT. Metallic YES. The back looks just like the back of a pink iPod or a pink old 2000s Razr flip phone. Omg I want it ... » Continue Reading
I got my first ever paycheck from my new job on Friday ^_^ I work as a courtesy aide in a nursing home and I’m going to buy the state exam so I can get certified. My last job was at Dairy Queen. Won’t say much about it. It’s in the past. I didn’t get very many hours. I did work and get quite a bit of money. I only got access to my bank account earlier this month or late this month. My earnings wer... » Continue Reading

I FINALLY ordered new Airpods after nearly three weeks of them being mucked up! With my OWN MONEY! Like last time. Yesterday, I had my brother take me to the bank so I could get his name off my account. Apparently, his name wasn't on my account anymore after our last visit. I thought they couldn't do that due to me forgetting to bring my ID. I already had my savings account, so I opened a checking... » Continue Reading
Tomorrow at 9:00 A.M, I start orientation as a courtesy aide at the same nursing home I had worked for my clinicals! About those AirPods… I asked my dad the other day (maybe it was yesterday?) if it’d be possible for me to use my money to order a new pair. He told me I should focus on finding them first. Fat chance of that happening. The universe must have put a black hole somewhere in the house a... » Continue Reading
Last night I woke up, turned over to see the time on my google Clock, and saw that it was 1:40 something. “Crap, I’m late my job interview!” I cried out, and kept tossing and turning until I stopped and I was like, “Oh, right… I’m forty-one.” I woke up again in my own body as an eighteen-year-old, turned around and saw that it was still nighttime. » Continue Reading
