Wind in the trees

Leo, Thursday, 27 August 2009

If you keep on doing the same old thing, you can't be too surprised if you keep on getting the same result. A change is not just 'as good as a rest'; it is as good as a helicopter. It can lift you right up and out of a situation that has been slowly draining your energy. It can allow you to look down on a set of familiar circumstances from the lofty height of a fresh perspective. It can help you tell the wood from the trees and see the overview where before, you have been caught up in the detail. If you want such a change, you can have it now. Soon, many dramas will unfold around us as Saturn and Uranus renew their intense opposition. But the healing 'triple conjunction' of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron remains powerful too.

If only I could figure out what direction I'm supposed to be going...

Visualize peace and abundance for all. This is the time we see the world we choose to live in. See it in all its splendour; you must see even that which you could not believe to be true. Imagine in your mind a community sharing and caring for all. Imagine a world of plenty using systems that work with our earth for a sustainable coexistence with humanity. See peoples' needs and desires met in a loving, peaceful manner cooperating in all so that we all will benefit. See it! What does it look like? See the people in your life living in harmony. See the children of the world in comfort and delight choosing just like us. A cooperative planet sharing the journey seeing to needs of all including our great mother earth.

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1) I make no guarantees that you will like what I make;
2) It'll be done this year (er, before December 31st, 2009)
3) You have no clue what it's going to be. It could be anything!
Jewelry, a poem, a contract, a mix CD, a photograph... anything, really.
4) I reserve the right to make something extremely odd.

The catch? The catch is that you incur a moral obligation to re-post and follow through.


*shrugs* this is from Mel's journal I'll try to come up with stuff too if anyone wants something.

Hello people, long time no post.

I'm actually just wondering if anyone reading this has or knows someone who has a laptop that's capable of playing DVD's that they would be willing to lend to a lady I know who is going to be cooped up at the hospital/nursing home for the next two to three months.

I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks for any help anyone can offer. :)

Hey guys here's the update

If I didn't call you and you want to go I didn't mean to leave you out I remember making a lot of phone calls but I may have missed people.

The Fright Fest Trip is Sat. Oct. 20th that's this upcoming weekend a week from yesterday. We've got Sean Caleb Renee and I in one car so that means it would be great if someone else would volunteer to drive since as far as people who have gotten back to me Jim, Tick Gemma and Keith would also like to go. Sorry it's on Saturday Zac. :(

Is there anyone else that wants to go that didn't get mentioned here? If you read this and know that someone else would want to go could you help pass it on? Thanks!

Those of you that said you were interested in getting season passes the time is now! I'm going to call people in the next few days, I want to make this happen ASAP. If you want to contact me call me, I don't have internets right now.(I'm at Gemma, Keith, Tom and Chads)

The job's going well. I do get to go to No Brand *yay*! I haven't been on the computer much. I'm really tired.

Well I know I said that the next post would be about my new job but it's not.

Today for the second time, someone has messed with Ahnika's car while it was parked here outside our apartment. I'm not clear exactly what happened this time, only that someone had stuffed something in her car door keyholes to the point where she couldn't get her key in to unlock the doors. The first time was several weeks ago and that time someone let the air out of all her tires. She thinks she might be being targeted by a disgruntled co-worker, I wonder if these things have occurred to only her car because it may have been the only vehicle parked there at the time and it's just some random jackass who may just do it to any car that happens to be there. I told Ahnika (as I told her the first time) to contact the Madison police to see if there have been any other similar incidents reported and report this one. I think I'll talk to the neighbors to see if they've been having any problems and make them aware of what's happened so far. Poor Ahnie called me this afternoon in tears ready to break our lease (yikes) I think she did contact the police this time...makes me not want to leave my car here at night.

In happier news I think I may have, at least for the time being, arranged to fill all of Denise's open shifts! Amazing! And in the nick of time since my last day with her is tomorrow. *whew*

What a beautiful day! I'm having a lovely relaxing weekend taking full advantage of this time before I start my new position.(I'll tell those who are curious more about it next time) Tonight my mom is taking me to see the Ditty Bops at the Barrymore.

You know, I'm in a really good place right now, good friends, things to look forward to, classes to take, adventures to plan. I'm thankful and moved by the kindnesses around me. *hugs*

For those of you I haven't told already

I got the job!

I’ve said it before, I lead a charmed life. *hugs*

Two songs have been going through my head since I heard the news this morning, Color my World (everything I touch is turning to gold) I couldn’t find a good video of it so ignore the visual here (seriously minimize the page, the visual is so boring it ruins the song; unless you really like leaves) and apparently a cover was featured in an M&M commercial.


Here’s the other one. She reminds me of Captain Janeway in this video…



Have I ever told you guys how much I love Petula Clark? Her songs are corny right? But so me. :)

sign of the times Colin check out this choreography, I wonder why that one guy has just his head under a car…

downtown You guys might know this one. This video is a George Costanza tribute.

round every corner Weird fish eye video, more weird choreography.

Oh my gods so cute!!!!

Speaking of songs I love that have been used on commercials *is sucked into the vortex that is YouTube* Happiness Runs. Why O? Because

Charter SUX!!!

Can anyone tell me if there are good alternatives for high speed internet?

Like many people I know, I've been a bit stressed lately (mine's work stuff) and I know one thing that helps me is to have something big to look forward to. So even though the website doesn't have dates up yet I'd like to start tentatively planning a trip to 6 flags for soon after they open for the season. If there are enough people interested (it's slightly discounted if you have at least 4) I'm considering a season pass Gemma? Tick? Sean? I know that there are some who might be interested in going but maybe not the season pass, Colin? Jim? Matt? Lindsay there's a waterpark built right in now you know :) s'pose very early in the season might not work for that weather wise... Come on guys it'll be fun! :) If there are others interested let me know.

Crap I forgot I still have to take in my timesheets :P

Over the two years (next month) I’ve been working for CLA (Community Living Alliance) they’ve tried to convince me to renew my CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) certification 4 separate times so I could take a job in the office vs. what I do now, working in peoples homes. It would pay more and have better benefits like sick time and vacation days. They really want to keep me.

So what’s causing me pause?

I’m too idealistic sometimes and I don’t like the way some things are handled, I don’t like what people turn into when they work in that setting. I would also have to be on call a lot and could be asked to drive all over creation to fill in for people when they call in. Then there’s the problem this would cause for the people I currently take care of.
Even so, this time I’m really considering it.

I’d have to take a class to get re certified and re test with state. A few hundred dollars and a few months I could be a CNA again…

I thought this was pretty funny :)
