this is me driving all by myself on the beach! I also drove from the airport to work, and from work to home!!! I am slow and shaky, but I can drive myself on the Honda now! Of course on the beach I am fast because the ground is smooth and there are no little kids or dogs in my way...

-I am officially a certified phlebotomist
-I should be going for my Medical Laboratory Technician certificate in the fall -I started college classes, working towards a Medical Laboratory Science degree and work pays for it. I am currently taking Chemistry. -Working at the clinic is awesome!!! -I am going to Colorado for 2 weeks with my boyfriend -Our 1 year anniversary is in 15 days I really want to try out this beer bread recipe I found, but there is no beer here. I want to make a wine sauce, but no wine.
It use to be in the teacher contract that if you brought alcohol to teacher housing, you lost your job. You cannot make alcohol or import it, yet almost everyone in the village drinks. It is not illegal to drink as long as it just magically appears in your home. I personally think homebrew the way they make it sounds nasty. But seriously, everyone I work with talks about drinking. Kids tell me that they are getting pressured by adults to drink (which I told him it okay to just leave the house if that is the case). Lots of people come to the clinic drunk (even pregnant women, but they get strong lectures). Tons of alcohol related injuries. It is insane. There is AA here though and providers try and help those who want to quit drinking with weekly appointments and behavioral health stuff. We want more elders who have gotten sober to help the others. i just want to make a beer bread, not drink it. Guess I will need to make my bread in Colorado. The Brownie party ended up being 7 kids, 5 girls and 2 boys. We made 4 pans of brownies. The kids did all of the mixing and stuff. Some were better than others and everyone needed a turn stirring. Of course there were lots of, "Christine, he won't let me have a turn!". We watched one of my movies, Bring It On All or Nothing. One set of brownies got frosted, which made a huge mess! Then the kids had a super sugar high and wanted to bring brownies to other teachers, so they took blobs of brownie to a couple houses. They did not want to leave our home.
It was fun but exhausting. I think the afternoon was spent saying stuff like this: "No, you cannot go into our bedroom" "No, you cannot go through the closets" "No playing with the daggers" "No hitting people or objects with the fly swatter" "One person upstairs at a time" "No basketball in the house" (that was funny because half way through the day a green basketball magically appeared inside) "No watching R rated movies" |
