Yes I’m feeling better. I don’t know what it was that I had, and to tell y’all the truth, I don’t really care if it was the “Swine Flu” or not. I suppose if it had gotten to the point where I needed to be hospitalized, then I would care. But for now, I’m feeling better and need to go and do some stuff!

Jobs:

I applied for another job today. It is as a Rehab Tech at a hospital in the NTO (Next Town Over). This will probably pay pretty poorly, but its set hours during the day and I would be able to go to school at night without having to worry about changing shifts. Plus they requested in the job description someone who is interested in the Rehabilitation program would be a “Plus”, so I made sure to mention that I’m working toward my Occupational therapy degree.  Now I don’t know the company policy for tuition assistance, but anything would be a help, if I get the job.

Of the three jobs I applied for in the last couple of weeks, I’ve heard back from exactly zero. So I haven’t much hope for any of them. One of them was a “pie-in-the-sky” type of thing. I know I could do the job, and the pay was WAY huge so I said, “What the heck? I’ll apply for it and see what happens!” But I had no real experience to back up the resume, and the least I could do if called was try to convince them I could do the job. Oh, well. It can’t hurt to try something outside of the usual, right?

Christian Camp Week:

Each year our church sponsors a week at the local Christian Camp. Next week is our week. So next week I’m going to be spending most of the week out helping the camp.

Most of the kids are 10-12 years old, so they can at least hold a conversation and talk reasonably well. This way if there are questions they need answered, I’ll understand ‘em!

Most of the kids come from poorer homes and not that great of a home life. Just because they are at a Christian Camp, doesn’t mean that they are church-going kids or come from a church-going family. Most of them are pretty rough kids from a rough background. But by showing them a good role model to respect, maybe they will be able to change a bit. Who knows? I can hope that I’ll be that person they can look up to, and see the Christian man behind all the tattoos, the long hair, the ear rings.

I can hope.

Time to Go!

I’m going to jump on the motorcycle and putt around some. I need to get out of the house for a little while, since I was trapped by my sickness this past week.

I’m Alive… So Far…
