I suppose I have a confession, I don't like using people's names on CC, unless they say its okay.

Like I almost feel like its giving people an undo familiarity with people they don't know. When someone calls me by my name, I assume they know me beyond this place. I am disappointed when I discover that they only called me by my name because they heard someone else use it.

So unless I know for a fact that someone is okay with it and prefers it, I won't use it.
My username IS my name...I guess I wasn't too inconspicuous, was I? :)

Thanks, lil! I slept GREAT. It took me maybe 30 seconds to fall asleep...I don't even remember, it was so fast. Then I was OUT until my alarm woke me up for work this morning. :)

From what you were telling us, you were really tired last night...

Blessings.

I tend to sleep deeply, but can take a while to get there.

My wife often wakes up, but can fall asleep easily.

We are all different metabolically.

Jealous!! Even if I've had 4 hours of sleep I've never just fallen asleep within that short of a time! lol

I feel so unbelievably bad. Guilt feeling in my throat. It's hard to sleep. And I don't know how to fix it :(


Recently the individual that I support has been yelling bloody murder when getting changed and having to roll from his side to his back. A co-worker thinks it's a new fear that has developed. I think he's on to something. It's like he has developed a fear of falling. That he cannot see the bed behind him so he thinks it's not there and he will fall off the bed.


I think I am the reason to why he has developed it, and I feel SO bad. The individuals at a new day program that I have been taking him to, have these large bean bags on the floor that they can be put on as a way to get them out of their wheelchairs and relieve pressure. And me and him were sampling different things to do, and I figure we could try it. So I put him on it.


But I think that because it was close to the floor, it caused a fear to develop. Perhaps, he fell at one point in his childhood and it rehashed that fear. Now he yells in terror and I have no idea what to do :( :( He has to have personal care. My manager is on holidays, we need some sort of intervention ASAP. It most likely have to be meds, a sedative of some sort. I don't know if any psychological help would be enough :(
Prayed for you to receive the right understanding from Father and the right words to use with the care of God that comes through you unto this situation and be at peace in the midst, Knowing and saying what need said or done in the midst to yuor own surprise as it is God, that knows what to do and or say through you, if you get out of the way and trust God, surprise yourself you have before.

Its like Africa, it comes with its own natural Sepia Filter.
No, I'm pretty sure it was used in the series to make you think a scene was shot in Mexico.
I doubt the lighting is natural, but I could be wrong. I've never been to Mexico, or Africa for that matter...

While Mexico City is incredibly smoggy, the air in Mexico isn't a golden hue.

Know what's fun.... being called every name in the book as I'm typing this.

Can you sense the sarcasm? Good.

Why are people surprised that the Bachelor from the show the Bachelor is a jerk? Seriously you but a guy with 20 some attractive women. He's supposed to act like a Puritan? Come on, at least this guy showed his true self. Hey I'm going to sleep with all of you and pretend to fall in love with one of you at the end. Good job!

We did pick user names and they seem to work okay. :)


You can call me Jen or Jennifer if you'd like. :) That goes for any of you.
