Where did Summer go?

Where has the time gone? No wait; where has my summer gone? Funny isn't it, how it seems to take forever to get here and then, poof, it's almost over! I cannot believe that it is already July and that I’ll be back at CNA starting a new semester soon. Ah, July in Carbonear. A time for long sleeves and umbrellas, of days spend indoors, or nights huddled around a campfire. Summer, it seems, has gone missing, and the prime suspects are spring and fall. The warmest season has made appearances in places, like Ontario and Nova Scotia. But it's boycotting Newfoundland.""I think the worst is the days are just counting down and we're just not seeing any summer weather." realize my whole summer was spent waiting instead of doing. I don’t do well when it’s hot. I wanted cooler days so I can do the things I enjoy. The older I get, the faster time goes. Sometimes it whizzes by as I wait for energy to get going. I should have cleaned house and done other inside work while it was hot outside. Forget the wiser part. Getting older comes way too soon and youth is gone before you know it! Another reason the time has flown by is because I got a part-time job at the local Supermarket (Powell’s) to help subsidy this poor student.  About school I got my marks for semester 3 had made the Honor Society (3.6 GPA). Wahoo!!! I hope to maintain that!!! So Pat & Shola go easy on me… (Hey Shola you made the blog…lol). I am sad to see summer end but also excited about going back to school some might think it’s boring or hard, but it’s actually can be lots of fun."  So it seems that fall is fast approaching so I urge you all to take advantage of the remaining summer and do something ...anything. Enjoy! Also a reminder  that the Carbonear Car  Show & Shine will be going on this weekend  August 5 ,6 & 7th, 2011 @ Paddy's Garden... Come out & support the Special Oyympics...

Five Weird Habits ...Count'em. Five. No more, no less.

1. I am beyond anal when it comes to the covers on my bed. They have to be smooth. I cannot stand bumpy sheets. I have been known to tell Bert to get out of bed and help me straighten the covers! Gives me the willies just thinking about it.


2. Whenever I eat Smarties (candies) I have to eat them in two's, either in pairs of the same colors or similar colors.
3. I don’t like Christmas. Deal with it.

4. I don't like my hands to be dirty or icky.. I'm not OCD about it, but I need clean hands. Especially under the nails. Evidently I have been this way since I was little. Mom said I would come in the house and wash my hands and then go back outside to play some more.

5. I talk to people in other cars when I drive. Mostly the morons. I thought Berks' first word was going to be "Dumbass". Because of the dumbasses, I don't like to drive. People are idiots. (No, not you. You are pretty much perfect!)

What about you, you perfect, weird person? What weird habit do you have?

Self -Care

I just finished Day 1 of a 2 day training program on Suicide Intervention Skills. It’s an eye opening experience, very intense and emotional. The group itself is varied… young, old, male female, those just out of school and retirees. In our discussions, we discovered that anyone and just about everyone has at some time or another has been effected or touched by suicide. The seminar has covered a lot of information and hopefully by its end it will have taken away a lot of the fear associated with helping people dealing the suicide. My trainer Terry has given us some homework; we are supposed to do a self care activity. The purpose of this activity is that if we cannot take care of ourselves how can we be expected to care for others. Self care has been defined as “the right and responsibility to take care of your physical, emotional and spiritual well-being”. Self care may also be thought of as anything that contributes to our emotional, spiritual, physical, and/or social rejuvenation. In other words it’s “Me Time”. Me time,” refers to time for oneself to participate in activities that you enjoy, that provide you with peace and happiness, and awaken your senses. It can be anything from taking a shower / or bath, going for a walk, doing your nails , reading a book, paint, sketch, draw, or be like me and blog. For me blogging is therapeutic . And if I still want to get away from everything I'll get into a steaming bath and play music and just shut my eyes. No interruptions allowed!
