Empty bed and I'm cold

Empty bed for the second night. I guess it's just getting me ready for summer. :(

I miss Evan.

Ollie doesn't normally like to snuggle, but he just jumped on the bed and fell asleep on me. So naturally I had to take a picture. God I love him.

I started my new job. It's going to be interesting to say the least. I work with mostly older people, though I do have one client who is only 39. Basically I do whatever the person wants me to do. Like this weekend, I cleaned an apartment for someone. I also have to help people get dressed, bathe (including sponge baths - EW) and help them eat and stuff. So far I don't really mind it TOO much. I don't really like giving people baths..but I'm already getting used to it. I feel like it's more embarrassing to them, than it is to me. I was suppose to be at work right now, but I got a call saying my client wasn't doing very well, and that he had to go to the hospital, so no work for me right now. I have to work at 4 though. My shifts aren't like regular work shifts. They are only usually 3 hours at a time at most, and three hours with these clients is PLENTY for a day.


I wrote that yesterday before I went to work. Yesterday at work was so shitty. The hardest day by far. This lady was extremely cranky, and took it out on me. I was literally standing in the kitchen, almost in tears because she was just such a bitch to me. Ugh. The first thing she said when she saw me was, "another new girl?!? I'm SICK of them sending me new girls!" Thanks lady, way to make me feel welcomed. She probably has so many new girls all the time because she's such an ass to everyone, and no one wants to work with her. Oh well, I need to stick it out. This job will look really good on my resume, so I need to suck it up and deal with it. It's hard though. I just wish that for once I was in a job that I actually liked.

Anyway. I'm really looking forward to Jamaica. I'm requesting June 24th-July 5th off, so I won't have to go right back to work the second I get back. Can't wait!!

Tomorrow is going to suuuuccckkkk. I have class from 10-12, I have to run to Hudson to work with a client from 1230-230, I have to go back to the bitchy lady from 4-7, and then I have to bring Evan to Portland or something to meet his mom half way. Then I get to drive home and sleeeeeep. I'm going to be ridiculously exhausted. Oh well.

Okay, time for physical therapy.

Saturday Morning

I really wanted to go to Bagel Central for lunch, but they are closed. So, I might convince Evan to go to Paddy Murphey's for dinner. (Even though we really really shouldn't..we're too poor.) Anyway, this is how Evan chose to spend his Saturday morning:

Reversing the vacuum so It blew air into his mouth.


And Again..


And finally, sucking up my hair.


Here's a picture I took of Ollie about 5 seconds ago. Evan was trying to suck him into the vacuum as well. I don't think he liked it.


Right now he's sitting at the bottom of the stairs watching Evan vacuum. He looks like a Hyena.

History class and a little Easter.

Currently, I'm sitting in the history class that earlier today, I contemplated skipping. Oh well, it's only for an hour and 15
minutes. Not bad at all! We have a test in a week. You would think that a multiple choice test in US History I would be easy, but my teacher likes to have about 7 different answers, most of which say "A and B only," "All of the above EXCEPT C," or "None of the above." This drives me crazy. I think I know the answer, than I second guess myself, get it wrong and do terrible on the test. I'm making all A's in my psych classes, and this stupid Gen. Ed. class is bring my GPA down. Oh well.

Anyway, Easter was a good time. Evan and I headed out to Dixmont around 4 on Saturday. When we got there, 3 of my favorite people (Kalen, Wylie and Nora) were out in my field flying a kite.

Here's Tara flying the kite with Kalen.


They are so ridiculously cute. I've babysat for some cute kids, but these one's are by far my favorite. I'm pretty lucky to have such a great niece and nephews. That night, we ordered a ridiculous amount of sushi, and I stuffed my stomach full of shrimp rolls, cucumber rolls, sweet potato rolls, and agedashi tofu. YUM. I love when my Mom suggest we order sushi. It's probably one of my favorite meals, and I can eat SO MUCH of it without getting full. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing...

Easter morning was nice. I like watching the little kids open their baskets, and I enjoyed opening mine! This was the last year that I get one. :( My mom was nice enough to put a gas card and a Hannaford gift card in my basket. Gonna grocery shop tonight! We went to my Mom's friends barn where she had 7 new adorable baby lambs that we got to feed with a bottle! They were so cute, and would suck on your fingers if you put them near their mouth.



Here's a picture of a cute baby lamb sucking on Evan's finger!



There was also a cow there that pooped twice and peed twice in the ten minutes we were standing there next to it. After that, we went back to my house and ate a big meal of pork tenderloin, potatoes, salad, asparagus, and bread. It was delicious, and I was too full to eat any of the strawberry-rhubarb pie or brownie sundaes that were for dessert.

Ollie got to run off the leash a few times, which was nice. Him, Barkley and Sage when crazy and ran around the field, all the way to the pond where they all jumped in and got soaking wet and smelly. Ollie loved it! (Besides the water..I don't think he's much of a water dog.)

Yesterday, it was beautiful out. Evan and I decided to bring Ollie to the water front and have a picnic. It was windy, but I had a lot of fun. We made egg salad sandwiches, packed crackers, and applesauce and on the way we picked up some iced tea and Doritos. We left shortly after we finished eating because the wind picked up and it started to cloud over.



Hmm, oh yeah, my knee is doing well. Real sore after I go to physical therapy, but it's doing really well. I'm not suppose to be off crutches for another 2 weeks, but when I'm at home I don't use them much. I still wear my brace and I'm real careful though, but I can already feel that by just walking without crutches is starting to strengthen my leg. I can't wait until I get the okay for no more crutches and no more brace! It will be great. (Though the handicap parking decal is pretty sweet, too.)

All in all, my life is going in the right direction. I'm happy, Evan's happy, and I'm pretty sure Ollie is happy as well. We have 6 more weeks of school which is nice, but I'm not looking forward to when it's over. That means Evan leaves me for 4 months. 4 months without him is so hard. It's hard to get used to an empty bed. It sucks not having anyone to talk to before bed every night, and right when I wake up. Oh well, at least for most of the summer I'll have Ollie. I know I'm going to cave and let him sleep out of the kennel. Even though I know he won't snuggle with me! He hates sleeping on the bed. He gets too hot.

Okay this is quite enough I think.
