Hello Hello.

Well sure picked a wrong day to not only leave my umbrella, but my jacket as well. I think my first mistake was that I listened to the weather man. I mean what kind of schooling do you need to be one of these idiots. No offense if actually know one. I think they get their "weather predictions" from throwing a dart at a board. Today's weather will be 100 degrees. What its the middle of the winter..... My favorite is when they give a percentage of precipitation. What the hell? I have a percent for them you have a 99.9% chance you don't have the slightest idea in hell of what you are talking about. I walked home with a 0%, yes a 0%, chance of rain today. I trying to come up with theories of how I got wet walking home. It couldn't be that the weather man was wrong. This guy is a "professional".

Moving on....

Yes, yesterdays song was from the Broadway musical RENT. I love to watch musicals. I know people would consider that strange, and no I'm not gay. I just enjoy them. Rent is one of my favorite musicals. Apart from it just being well done it also has a special place in my heart. You see my brother is HIV positive. We almost lost him because of an infection that he got. His T cell count was way low. Right now his count is much better. When he gets sick I go stay with him, because it can be serious. When he almost loss him...I was a wreck all I could do was right. It helped ease my nerves. Well, I wrote a song for him that he has yet to hear.

I think that is another reason while the passing of the kids at the hospital affected me was it reminded me of when I almost loss Brandon.

I think that is all I have for the day. Have a great night.

You know sometimes I need two of me. I had so much I had to do today. Amazingly I actually got it all done, but now I am so tired. I was talking to my brother after work, and I fell asleep. I have a lot going on with work at the moment.

Today I had my meeting with the nursing staff. It went well. Their nurse manager wants me to be on their exceptional patient experience team for the floor. Although it was nice that she asked me I had to tell her no. I told her that I can't be on everyone's team. I already sit on one, and I have a lot of training and I have enough meetings I already need to attend on a monthly basis. Those have to take priority since they are meetings with my department head, and one with the CEO, COO, and CFO. Suddenly I am everyone's favorite and they want me to work only on their floors all the time. It's nice, but when my roll at the moment is the trainer I can only have two floors where I work with consistency.

Today was a really nice day out. Finally I was able to go for a walk when it wasn't raining. I really should get to bed earlier today, but that probably won't happen.

Have a good night!

"there is no future
there is no past
thank god this moments not the last
theres only us
theres only this
forget regret
or life is yours to miss
no other road no other way
no day but today

guys:
will i lose my dignity
will someone care
will i wake tomorrow
from this nightmare
theres only now
theres only here
give in to love
or live in fear
no other path
no other way
no day but today

girls:
i cant control
my destiny
i trust my soul
my only goal
is just to be
without you the hand gropes
the ear hears
the pulse beats
life goes on
but im gone
cus i'd die without you
i'd die without you

I just stopping in to say that I'm getting ready for a presentation with nursing staff tomorrow. I will write a little more then.

Take care and have a good night.

So Jennifer being the sweetheart that she is took me out last night to try and cheer me up. She took me to dinner and to see Night at the Museum the second one. I actually enjoyed the movie. It was really funny. It meant so much to me that she tried to put a smile on my face and lift my spirits. She actually listens to me and understands that you need to listen sometimes not always be the one that is talking. I feels like something out of a movie at the moment. Most dates I go on I'm the one that pays. It's nice to know that I can be treated once in awhile.

We came home and continued talking. She told me that the reason it hurts so much is that I have such a great heart. She told me that we (meaning Benjamin and her) are lucky to get an opportunity to know you. That he is in a better place and much happier now.

She stayed over and we listened to music and shared a bath before we went to sleep.

Have a good night ladies.

Thanks for those that read yesterdays journal. God Bless you and it's good to know that you didn't go blind from reading it or want to scratch your eyes out wishing the insanity would just end. Thanks for adopting me I need to bum some money. =)

I want to use today's entry to write about something I read in the paper. It is called the CityWeekly. It's a publication that has highlights of the going ons in the city. There is an article in the paper that talks about surviving school reunions. It in fact gives ten well thought out rules to survive. I would like to share those ten, but before I do I would like to note that one reunions are already done and two by the time the next one comes around we shall have forgotten this great insight.

1. Go with a spouse or significant other or girlfriend or boyfriend or life partner. First of all doesn't the term "significant other" entail all those others. I think he is trying to meet his word quota. Why would you want to go alone to these events. They are extremely boring, and having someone you know gives you both an excuse to ditch the snooze fest.

2. Don't take your children. Ok, who would really take their kids with you. If you do have kids and they are at home it also gives you an excuse to leave. Although it would be fun to let them create havoc somewhere other than your home.

3. When the class bore approaches you, run for your life. Now the class bore may have a lot of money. Then again if he is not it does make for good advice.

4. Sit with someone you don't know at lunch. I don't know about everyone else, but I knew everyone in my class. I went to school with most of them forever, or it seemed like it anyway. Lets face it at a reunion its not that I didn't know them its that I forgot they even existed.

5. Don't stare at nametags. Why not? If I don't know them I'm not going to play twenty questions to remember their name.

6. Remember that you are not in school anymore. Really is that what a reunion is for. I so wanted to run up and down the halls back and forth to classes. What does this even mean? We can't pass notes here and look at the other persons menu. I wonder if they are saying there is no more dress codes so be happy.

7. Don't lose weight, get a facelift, a boob job, or hair plugs for the reunion. Why is this a rule. Most people change after school. Besides after 50 years no one will even remember they went to school.

8. Don't suck up to celebrity classmates. If you have a celebrity in your class do you really think they would come to one of these.

9. Don't try to rekindle old romances, or start new ones. Yes, this particularly bad advice seeing as that if you follow rule number one. I think he is running low ideas with this one.

10. Don't carry food back to your hotel on the final day of the reunion. Ok, who is going to wait till it ends and run to the table and grab a bunch and take it with them. No those are mine hahaahah as you run out of there. Or better yet stick in your pockets. Silly person.

Take care ladies.
