If he doesn't get better, I don't know what will happen. My company is already talking about it's not a job, for one person. That is taking care of two old people, and I hear, they are debating not having it be a live-in arrangement. Well I hope he gets better, or that he just dies in his sleep. He has too much pride, and wants to do it all on his own.
Well almost time for class. There wasn't much point in coming home, before I went to school. bye for now.

work
Well everything isn't normal. Bob* isn't very well. I am not going to go into details about this day. I notified my office, and they want to send another caregiver in, because two old people needing care isn't a job for once person. So now they want to make more money. Bob needs to recover and keep on moving.
The best way I can tell you how he changed is this. When you first see old people, you think wow they are old. Then you get to know them, and no longer see the old. Now the old is all over his face.
*means Bob isn't his real name.

Michelle and her new best friend. This is part of the training, they gave her to make the jump. This is going to be her 2nd time jumping. He will be strapped to her, and they will jump together.

I know these pictures aren't really in order, but this is Michelle when she is too far for us to really know it was her, but then there she came. This wasn't the easiest picture to get. It was like do I want the picture or my eye sight. The sun was very bright.
Since this was her second time jumping, they got to do fall backwards and see the underside of the airplane. It was a very cool day.

This is Will and Tyler, right in front of the hanger of the airport. Will wants to jump when he is 18 years old. You can't do it until then.

The memory walk was held at Rock Valley College. It's to raise awareness and raise money to find a cure to end Alzheimers disease. My company set up a booth there, along with other companies simliar to mine. I took Ann with me. She did a really good job. It helped that we walked around in the wrong area, and then we had to walk to the booth. So by the time we started walking with the crowds, she was already settled down. The picture below shows her sporting her Comfort Keeper shirt. She behaved very well, and learned how to drink water from a bottle. On the way home all she could do was lie down in the seat. bye for now.

Work has been okay. Sandy had a test down today. Yesterday as a favor to my client and co worker. I came in and washed her hair. We are talking about a lady who always gets it down professionally. I guess after I left. Sandy was ticked off!! lol Today she looked rough. Her hair is a mess, and I noticed her jacket is wearing out. So instead of being prim and proper she looked rough. lololol It's too funny. Now we look more like family, because I know rough looking hair.
She had her test and then we went to breakfast. We are wondering if she will go play her card game looking this way. I said, "only Sandy can decide if she wants to go looking rough" Opps that didn't come out right, and boy am I glad they can only hear every other word. Poor co worker tomorrow lol.
School is okay they are making me think. What a jerk teacher making me think. haha. The coolest thing is happening at work. I can get online stealing a connection. It's not perfect, but hey it's better than nothing. Well I got to go see what I can do around my home. For those who don't know me too well. (that would be my work home) Bye for now.

How many years does it take to earn a million dollars if you put in $100 in a 5% savings account?
The correct answer was 190 years. What I want to know who has so much time, that they can figure out how fast that 100.00 grows. Why not figure out a dollar amount that people can put in, and be alive to see the million dollars. Can I borrow a 100.00 from you all? I promise I will leave the money for your kids or their kids.Monday, September 15, 2008

It looks like summer is coming to a end. I am not excited about that. Tyler this summer has been living off the land. He will eat nuts that fall from the trees, berries off the bushes, peaches of a peach tree. (the neighbor said it was okay) He eats apples off our apple tree. We can't forget that we have tomatoes growing in our front yard. I have to add that we do feed Tyler other food. He just loves his fruits, and I can't imagine a better way to get them.bye for now

my clients
Their daughter in law brought us in a tv they haven't been using anymore. So now we have cable in our room. It's very cool to be able to watch a little tv of my choosing.
Old people do some funny stuff, and normally I can control my laughter. They have some shrimp and sauce and she asks for a spoon. We can't figure out why she wants a spoon, but I was told to just get one by her. So I give her a spoon and I watch her. She gets a spoonful of sauce and eats it. I tried to bite my tongue, but I had to go in my room to laugh. Bye for now.

Flight 93
I watched the movie of it about a week ago, I bought it quite sometime ago. I had different feelings during the movie, I admit at times it was hard to remember this was real. Some of the actors I had seen in different movies. I could feel myself clenching my fists, hoping for a different outcome, but of course history has already been written. The plane crashed still.
I don't understand why after the pilots were warned about the other planes, the opened the door to the cockpit. My best guess that they didn't get the time to comprehend what had happened. It probably all happened way so fast.
The passengers fought the terrorists and stopped the plane from hitting their likely target. That was really brave of them. But too bad they didn't kick their asses before the plane crashed. The whole 911 attacks just suck!! It's a very sad part of America's history, I know we have a lot of sad history but I would say this one tops it for my time. What makes things so much worse for me, is that my Daughter turned 10 years old on Sept 11 2001. It makes me very sad. :(
