i got work to do...
well, y'all i got a job doing private duty work. yesterday i completed the 5-day training for a home health aide, and got my certificate, and in the same breath my supervisor told me she had a gig for me. i was like WTF? damn, i had'nt even finished the training, but nontheless i am very happy. luckily it's only ONE patient, and for the most part all i have to do is make sure my patient gets her bath, do light housekeeping, make her breakfast and lunch, and basically keep my patient company.
i had been chanting for about two weeks, because there was so much chaos and confusion in my life and not only that, i wanted to get out of the house. well, i guess it works, because it just amazed me that i would start work so soon. i aint complainin LOL
it'll be nice to have extra money round the house. i have a debit card that i'm just gonna dump my checks into and....i also have a bank account! i'll dump money in it as well.
my hours are from 9 am to 3 pm, 5 days a week, 6 hours a day. that aint bad.
and that's all i have to say about that. so, until fingers meet keyboard, y'all take care.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))) to all!

nam myoho renge kyo
yes it's official folks. i have taken interest in the study of Buddhism (hug to you James - you're my inspiration *smile*)
i've been chanting the above phrase qute regularly now, and i must admit i feel a sense of newfound peace within.
i visited the Soka Gakkai Buddhist center last Sunday (it was hotter than Satan's draws, ok?) and the people there were extremely friendly. i was suppose to go to the new member's meeting that following Tuesday, but unfortunately i wasnt able to make it. but, i kept up my chanting anyway.
there was only one little thing that bothered me -- and that those people i spoke to seemed overly anxious to get me to a centre closer to my neighborhood.
understand, i came of my own free will, and one thing i do not like is to be told where to go and who to go and see. i mean, damn, i had just walked in the place for God's sake!
*ahem - rant over* there was this one elderly lady who was like a "mother hen" with me (another thing i don't like) but she was nice enough to introduce me around, and she bought me the fledgling Buddhist's booklet "The Winning Life." i thanked her for her generosity and when it came time for me to leave, then this guy who was standing at the front door pulled me to the side and told me about the old lady who was "mother hen" with me; that i should find my own chapter of the Sokai Gakkai that's nearest to me. that kinda irritated me a bit, because i went thru that type of shit when i was practicing Islam.
as i told the lady (whose name was Helen), i am a free spirit and i really do not like being boxed into a corner. i made the journey downtown on my own, and i feel that i should go where i want without people always trying to impose their will on me.
anyways, that is that. James if you have any feedback about this, holla atcha girl, ok?
blessings, light and love to all.

hello dear readers. sorry i havent posted in a while -- got a case of internettus interruptus again, so i'm at the library using their computer.
a huge THANK YOU to Sid, James and Marie for your ever encouraging words. and i'd like to say a big HELLO to Spicy Bug (aka MrsHellOnHeels). i love the design of your blog, Bug *big grin*
i just wanted to drop you all a line to let you know that i'm okay, and that i dont have those awful thoughts no more, so dont worry.
if it's hot wherever you are, please try to stay indoors with A/C or a fan. and if you have older people living in your neighborhood, please check on them periodically.
that's all for now. bye.
