It's been 1 year and 6 months since we have lived here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been 18 months of, what is that?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been 547.863 days of happenings...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not daily, but happenings nonetheless.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most recently was yesterday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I attempted to take a nap in our bedroom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(It didn't happen, not because of this)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cats are blocked off in another part of the house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I shut all the bedroom doors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm in bed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel, what feels like, a cat walking on the bed...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and walking further towards the pillows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the feet to the head. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know there is nothing there, because times before - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
before when this would happen, I'd look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is never anything there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing that I can see. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mentioned this to hubs last night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He says 'it's funny you say that because...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'last week when you were in here and I was in there, it felt like something sat down on the bed'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I again, attempt to nap. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, today, something walks on the bed (but this time it didn't go from foot to head, but more knee to head). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I relayed this to hubs, and said 'it feels like a cat'. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*some random ghost kitty comment*</div>

show my work at a local spinning/yoga studio. <br />
A friend told me to contact a studio owner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She said he was looking to display local artists, said his studio is more like a gallery than 'gym'. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I contacted him last Wed and on Friday I met with him and willingly left 3 pieces there, with promises to bring more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I met with him on Friday, he told me of his visions of having a show (if he can get enough art (all styles)) to showcase. He even called my work 'quality'. !!! <br />
<br />
Today (with hubs help)...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
*I bought a zombie kit, but he wasn't a fan of it*<br /><br />
*zombie makeup TAKE 2*<br />
<br />
What you need:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 ply toilet paper (separate the layers and rip into smaller pieces)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Elmer's Glue</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Makeup (regular girlie makeup)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WASH FACE!<br />
<br />
Figure out where you want the booboo/scar/tissue damage/wound?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using your finger, dip into glue and then onto skin (not too much not too little).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place tissue (piece by piece)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*it will wrinkle, it will roll, it will build up = NO Worries*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let air Dry or use a blow dryer (on cold)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Makeup*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Browns/Yellows/Black/Red or Rust/Green (dark and light)<br />
<br />
Browns/Yellows and Black around eyes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On / Around the wound: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Black/Brown and Red</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rest of the face, add color where you think they belong. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the Green as an accent (along hairline, corner of mouth/nose)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did use the 'blood' that came with the makeup. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was Green, it was gross...but in the end it was very cool looking. <br />
<br />
*his costume was fun to do too*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
MEDUSA! <br />
<br />
*The Headpiece*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...is rather heavy.<br />
I used 3 wire hangers to make up the base. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I used 5+ rubber snakes and 4 smaller snakes, and wired them onto the base. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spray painted everything black (had previously painted the snakes black),</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Used my Medusa dread falls (that I made) and wrapped those into the headpiece. <br />
I read somewhere that Medusa liked shinny things....so, I hit up many yard sales and my own stash to find pieces. <br />
<br />
*The Makeup*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fishnet stocking over forehead. <br />
I used Halloween black to dab on and then used glitter black powder to set it. <br />
*The Eyes*<br />
White upper lids.<br />
Elmers glue + White glitter.<br />
Dark purple in the crease and a lighter for under the brow. <br />
Light pink lipstick + purple eye shadow to set and color lips. <br />
<br />
*Hair*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put hair in pigtails. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put on 2 dread falls per side. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Headpiece. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then used the other dread falls to balance the headpiece in place. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Medusa dread falls - I braided the wavy yarn together in sections. Then added any lil shiny bits to it. THEN dropped into boiling water for a few seconds. Pulled out and let air dry for a few hours (days really, only cause I hadn't felt like messing with them sooner). Then strung onto another piece of yarn (like you do putting together dread falls normally).<br />
<br />

Had a Halloween Harvest Festival to take the boys to, but I didn't want to use my costume for this year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took the wire crown I made. </div>
DreadFalls from a couple years ago...<br />
And <br />
Makeup!<br />
I don't know what I was? <br />
A Clown?<br />
Goth Clown?<br />
I don't know. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*The MAKEUP*</div>
<br />
Water down liquid liner in my palm using a makeup brush (cheap one).<br />
Lined the lower lids - <br />
adding more water in the spots where I wanted it to run. <br />
<br />
It was reading Dark and Moody and since the event was a kids thing, I wanted it to be more playful. <br />
<br />
I went back over the runs w/ purple eyeshadow and then went ahead and did the rest of the makeup. <br />
BRIGHT.<br />
COLORFUL.<br />
DRAMATIC. <br />
<br />
Still not *playful* enough...<br />
I took Elmer's Glue and painted on over the runs and lower part of the lid.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then using a Qtip, I dipped that into PINK Glitter and put on the glued spots. </div>
I did the same technique to my upper lid, but with -<br />
White eyeshadow and White glitter. <br />
<br />
<br />
It was so much fun! <br />
I didn't want to take it off. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Been working there for 7.5 days now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've come to a theory.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of the natives -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well, you can tell that they aren't really there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But there is this one - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when she looks at me, she LOOKS at me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've heard stories, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hallucinations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Issues. <br />
I can see that she is depressed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I am wondering if maybe -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
MAYBE</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's paranormal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mentioned some things to hubs about this and that was the 1st conclusion he came to as well. <br />
<br />
I also talked to my boss about this-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
spiritual/paranormal/religious conversation we had last night (she started it).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She entertained my theory and said it was a possibility.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I was done changing diapers and wiping butts.<br />
When Sprout learned to do it, I thought-<br />
'Never Again!'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time for me to get back out there...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got a job!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(look at previous post) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's only been 3 nights. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am still not sure or confident or know where everything is that I should be doing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to tell you, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is rewarding when a resident looks you in the eye and says -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'Thank You'. <br />
<br />
It doesn't happen all the time - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had 1 person lash out at me..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what do you do?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay calm and continue. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
It isn't an 'easy' job. <br />
It's almost like babysitting x 13<br />
babysitting a 1 or 2 year old at that.<br />
<br />
I don't know if this is 'what I am meant to be doing', it is only day 3.<br />
But - it is a job and in this economy, one can't complain too much. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

...employee.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't been called that in YEARS!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It isn't something I ever saw myself doing.<br />
I basically applied to prove to hubs that I was 'trying', </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who'd a thunk they'd actually hire me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean, I have NO experience in this 'field'.<br />
<br />
Well, I have 2 kids -<br />
I guess that's what sold it (me). <br />
<br />
It's an old folks home for Dementia and Alzheimer's.<br />
It's gross, but someone has to do it.<br />
<br />
It's sad - <br />
the residents often ask 'to go home' or ask for a parent.<br />
<br />
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THEM?!?<br />
Calm them down and try to distract them (like you do toddlers). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I've taken a CPR/1st aid class.<br />
I still have to take a 'medication class' - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is just SO MUCH to learn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Oh yeah, and I am working the midnight shift.<br />
SO far it seems to work for 'US'. <br />
I am somewhat of a night owl anyway-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the boys are in school all day...<br />
this way I can sleep (UNINTERRUPTED) for a good 7hrs+<br />
It's only 4 days a week.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the smell of rain-<br />
how it gives life to plants and animals<br />
I love rain.<br />
<br />
I do not like to drive in it<br />
I do not like to drive on the interstate<br />
I do not like driving in it when it pours<br />
<br />
I can see in front of me-<br />
WHITEOUT<br />
BRAKES<br />
!!!<br />
<br />
My life flashed in front of my eyes.<br />
<br />
Pull to side of road<br />
Looks behind<br />
I see big trucks, small trucks <br />
Big cars and little cars all swerve to miss the vehicle in front of them.<br />
<br />
I shake.<br />
I kiss the ground when I get home.<br />
<br />
I refuse to go back out. </div>
