"You are the cheese to my macaroni"

Isn't that a cute line? And cheesy, haha.

So I'm working my first ever night shift. So far it's completely uneventful. I've watched a re-run of Gerard Butler on a talk show - goodness he's a good looking fellow - and done some sweepind, mopping, and general note taking on Connie's oxygen mask wearing. Knucke busting, I know. So I'm trying to keep myself busy, therefore making the night go a bit faster and I wont get as sleepy! Mind you, I've downed an extra-large and a large double double from Tims in the first hour here, and am still riding the high!

I love this job. I'm going to talk about it for a bit. I'm a support worker at the main residence home. It's the only one with 24/hour "care and supervision". I basically come here, say Hi to everyone and get a couple of hugs - life is awesome - and help make supper *aka leave the room so no one gets hurt* and spend the evening with the 8 people living in the house. We go for coffee, there's bowling night, there's Friday night movies... and a lot of laughing. I mean, yes people have tantrums and throw fits, yes there's drama - hello, it's a house full of women! - and yes, I have to learn how to give a needle and I do bloodwork a couple of times during an evening shift. But I love this place. I don't want to leave, lol... I've found something that I can't get enough of, despite how much it can leave you wanting a completely silent room for an hour afterwards, haha.

I miss being able to write papers. So I have this fun idea... you guys, being the wonderful friends you are, should give me a cool topic, and I'll write a mini paper on it! That way I'll have something to do to keep me from watching movies and getting obese... and I can have voluntary writing practice any time I feel like it! Because sitting down and writing stories, as much as I loooove it and want to do it forever, can get a tad boring. So yeah. Nothing ridiculous though, I mean, something cool. Like the Nephilim. I did an entire paper from biblical times through until today on how Nephilim could have created the original giants that still walk on our ever-depleting planet! And then woke up to realise that it didn't apply and quickly wrote something about how Christ's death was necessary.

I think someone is on the stairs. I need to go chase them back to their room!

False alarm. Anyway... I also hope to get my tattoo by Christmas. I've decided that if I keep overthinking it, I'm never going to do it. And what the hell, I like spontaneity, and don't do it much lately. Other than the nose piercing - which is currently infected and causing me pain -. I also tried Buckleys for the first time today. And because I've seen so many commercials of the faces people make, I stole Nicole's camera and set it up so I could see if I made a face. A) the medicine itself looks like thick but runny poop. B) You put it in your mouth and half this half second of "wow, it's not that bad" then WHAM-O you're down for the count. That stuff is GROSS! But yeah, needless to say I loved watching my face... as I pretty much choked!

Anyway, I love you all.
G'morning,
Beth
