Hey! I am falling off of the beaten path here. I haven’t been writing in here. Why? Because I don’t want to complain all of the time.

I thought about SAZ the other day. Really thought hard and decided to make it focus on troubled youth. What do you think? I have always wanted to work with troubled youth. I sent an email to my board members to ask them what they thought. And, I was thinking about offering paid positions. Maybe a shelter? For the young people, I mean. I don’t know.

Okay, so I was at the drugstore today and saw a pin that had a big smiley face on it. And because of Ellen’s really negative attitude lately and because this male patient calls me "Smiley" all the time, I decided to get it and now I’m going to wear it all the time. LOL! Any questions asked, I’ll just say that’s my nickname. People are going to be like, "What is this? Wal*Mart or something?" LOL! 

I must say that my relationship with God is growing. I found this great site that has Bible study chats and inspiration. I love it. He has relieved me from my panic attacks.

This whole weight loss thing is killing me. I can’t go down past a certian number. I wish I could. I thought THAT this plataeuing was over but I guess it wasn’t. That’s okay. I’m trying my hardest. That’s all I feel that I am able to do.

That’s so cool. Wow! I was looking about a month or so ago for a speech recoginition program for my laptop and low and behold I found one already on it! How cool is that? I just found it now.  I am using the program now.

This week has been totally draining for me. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s just hard to get back in the swing of things after being sick. Id

I decided last night, before going to bed, that my life is so uneventful. All I feel I do is go to work. I honestly need to get out more. Maybe I DO lead a boring life! I wish I had some hot news but I don’t.

It’s so odd at work. How many people come in. I know a few. But only less than a handful. The thing is, though, it’s amazing how many have a drug/alcohol problem. Or have had. Half the staff that works at work has had a problem like that. I never even thought so many people would struggle with that. But they do. Think about how many people in the whole world have such a problem. I’m just talking about a small community, but imagine how many other people out there are dealing with this. I’m not saying I’m perfect or anything but I never had a problem like that. I’ve mentioned before that I used to be so judgemental, when I first worked at work but now I’m not.

Still haven’t heard from another job or counseling. Don’t have any idea what’s going on. And, to be honest, I don’t really care either.

I heard today that you can easily get assistance for going back to school for being a CASAC counselor at work, so I thought that I would look into that. I don’t know for sure, but that would be neat. I would make a lot more money being a counselor than being a housekeeper! LOL!  It would be more rewarding.
