spinning out!!!

OMG! i typed in my name on google and came across a girl from germany with exactly the same name. so i emailed her and she replied!!! so i have now told her more about me and my family and how i am a "blah"(my surname). it will be so interesting to see what happens with all of this......

today is date#2. its nearing!!! "I will feel the fear and do it anyway."

my stars for the week are:

You need to consider your options without distractions.
In some cases this involves deep personal introspection, in others frank
exchanges with those closest and experts.
While you wont necessarily devise a new approach now, the more willing you are to explore unfamiliar territory, the better advantage you'll take of the fresh perspective this potentially life-changing cycle offers........

Kids shows ARE very entertaining

CHECK THIS OUT!!! VERY FUNNY....

Its a script from a kids TV show that aired in america..




The sketch opens with Zippy peeling a banana...

Zippy: "One skin, two skin, three skin, four.... "
George: "Zippy, where is Bungle?"
Zippy: "I think Geoffrey is trying to get him up"
We see a view of the door and hear Bungle moaning from behind it.
Bungle: "Geoffrey, I can't get it in"
Geoffrey: "You managed it last night"
Bungle: "I know, let's try it the other way around. Ooooooh, I've got it in"
Bungle and Geoffrey enter the studio with Bungle carrying a hammer and peg kit
Bungle: "Would you stick this on the shelf, George"
George: "I can't reach, you'll have to stick it up yourself,
Geoffrey (to camera) " Hello everyone, today we are talking about playing"
Bungle: "Playing with each other, Geoffrey?"
Geoffrey: "Yes Bungle, do you have a special friend that you like to play with?"
George: "Yesterday we played with our balls.Are we going to play with our friend's balls today?"
Bungle: "Yes, and we can play with our twangers as well."
Geoffrey (to camera): Have you seen Bungles twanger?
Zippy: "Oh I have, I showed him how to pluck with it."
Bungle: "It's my plucking instrument."
Geoffrey asks the audience if they can pluck like Bungle
Zippy: "I can, I'm the best plucker here."
George: "And I'm good at banging. My peg's hard isn't it Zippy?"
Zippy: "Well of course it is, Your peg wouldn't go in if it was soft."
Geoffrey: "Let's get back to Bungle's twanger."
Bungle (excited): "Oooooh Geoffrey, we could all paint our twangers couldn't we?"
George: "Let's sing that plucking song."
Bungle: "Rod and Roger can get their instruments out and Jane has got two lovely Maracas."
Singers Rod, Roger and Jane enter
Rod: "We could hear you all banging away."
Roger: "Banging can be fun."
Jane: "Ooooh yes, and I was banging away all last night with Rod and Roger."
Roger (looking sad): "Yes, but it broke my plucking instrument."
Geoffrey: "Never mind Roger, let sing the plucking song, come on everybody get your instruments out."
Rod (to Jane): "Do you want to blow on my pipe while I'm twanging away?"
Jane: "Oh no Rod, I was blowing a lot with Roger last night. But would you like to play with my maracas?"
Zippy: "No, let's just pluck away with our twangers."
Bungle: "Yes, it doesn't matter what size your twanger is."
Zippy: "I've got a big red one."
George: "I've only got a tiny twanger. But it works well and I like to play with it."
Geoffrey (to viewers): "Well, have you got your twangers out? And remember, you can bounce your balls at the same time. If you haven't got any balls, ask a friend if you can play with his. Now, let's all sing the plucking song."
Everyone in studio: "Pluck, pluck, pluck away, we're going to pluck all day today."
"Pluck, pluck, pluck away, we're going to pluck all day."
Geoffrey (to viewers): " It's time for us all to go now, but don't forget to get your twangers out and play with your balls."
"See you soon. Bye."

FEAR

a day full of domestic duties and thinking of life and its challenges.
dating via the internet has to be one of the hardest things in the world. i recently went on a date and felt so incredably ill. my nerves were in overdrive. i couldnt eat and felt my respirations increase through sheer fear of what this stranger would be like, what his perceptions of me would be etc.... when we met i couldnt even hold my drink! i picked it up and was shaking as though i had parkinsons disease. then i was motor mouthing due to nervousness. he then told me to calm down. i was thinking "OMG ange whats wrong with you?"
i calmed down and took a deep breath. within 10 minutes i was relaxed. when i think back, i think how stupid!!!but hey i guess my human instincts are intact. fear though i came over. and i must mention that i once endulged in a book called " feel the fear and do it anyway". its so true. no matter what your fearful of, once you tackle it head on all seems to fall into place. ithink fear of the unknown will always be a tricky one to dismiss. but as i said above once in that predicament and feeling the fear, it soon subsides....

I got a voucher!!

work work work...actually it wasnt too bad. i had a student work along side with me. so she was a great help.
we then had an hour and a half ward ward meeting. so i basically had a break from 1.30-3.30pm. cant complain. during the meeting staff were handed out presents for certain recognition of there efforts recently. then my boss stood up and handed me a $50 myer voucher for succeeding in my medication course. everyone in the room cheered/clapped and i went as red as a tomato. how thoughtful!!!im stoked. its definately something i didnt expect.
so the saying goes"expect the unexpected!"

its all over!!!

yippee!!! all my hard work paid off. i have finished my course/exam and got 97%...im really happy with that. cant complain. the stress is over and i can now get back to normal.
tomorrow my new car to be gets shipped off from japan. i now have to wait 20-25 days.ARGH...i hate waiting for things. its not fair....but isnt there a saying;"good things come t those who wait."is that really a fact??

study

heads down bums up. its that time when i have to study for an exam tomorrow. im prepared, but i dont think the old memory is. talk about information overload.i better get to it. time is ticking by. i have no time to waste. i will be back with (hopefully) good news of a pass!!!!

ciao dear readers.

Ahhhh all is good

yay! mum accepted a bed for my nanna to go into an aged care facility. its absolutely beautiful. mums words were"wow, you and i could live in it". shes so happy. i can hear it in her voice. the heavy load has been lifted from her shoulders. four years of running backwards and forwards to assist in caring for her is now resolved. she moves in on tuesday and is able to take her dog. i was very surprised that she could take it. it will help her settle...
had the hair done. all layered and tinted with colors of blonde and dark brown. also shortish. had a good 2 inches cut off. it looks good. im reallly happy with it. not much else to report. im just glad all is in place now for my nan.

my studies are going well. pretty heavy stuff. the exam is nearing.ARGH.... if i study what i need to know im sure all will go well.
dramas with nanna!!! she went into a home, escaped twice, cut her arm open and had to go to hospital to have stitches, and they have basically kicked her out as its not a lock down facility. mums at her wits end! she said she can go home and we will get ppl to come to her house to assist with caring for her. however, thats going to take a while to be put in place as theres too many elderly ppl recieving home care. theres aflippen waiting list!
mum therefore today is looking at a really plush place that is a lock down facility. thanx to a friend of mine who works in aged care and knows all the right contacts. fingers crossed a bed is available...mymum listens to what my nan wants. she doesnt have the mental ability to make any decisions. i told mum that we have to be firm and do what is best for her to live in a safe environment. nanna one minute says she will be alright at home and then the next minute saying that she should move out. its ever so stressful at the moment for my mother. im here to support and assist where necessary..
gotta go now, have a hairdresser appointment. im thinking of getting a bright flourescent green mohawk...NOT. lol...

back to school

Back to course today. Was draining and bitchy!
the day started off with students going on ...and on ....and on... and on. The owner came in and had a chat with us. We were informed that the facility is not the only place to basically stuff up! Aparently other tafes that have been conducting the course have also missed out on face to face learning as outlined by the NBV. So students from other places have to return to complete the curriculum. This made us feel not so singled out.
it has to be done! Its just a shame to do it on such a beautiful weekend of warm weather.
At least lunch, tea, and coffee was provided. Only four more days. Then a 2hr EXAM!!! help.....

joke

an elderly couple walk into mc donalds. the husband order's 1 cheese burger, a small fries, and 2 cups of coffee. they make there way over to a table and the elderly man cuts the cheeses burger in half, and carefully counts the fries and gives half to his wife.
a by stander cant help to notice the man, and goes up and offers to buy them another cheese burger. the elderly man said," we have been married for 50yrs and we have learnt share". the by stander says, "ok no worries". the elderly man eats his half of his cheese burger and fries. the by stander notices the elderly woman hasnt touched her food. so he goes over and says, "excuse me, is your wife ok? i have noticed she hasnt eaten anything and you have finished your meal?"
the elderly man replies,"shes ok, shes just waiting for me to finish and then she can have the teeth!" ahhhhhhhhhhh......gross! now thats just taking things a bit too far for sharing. LOL...

eeewww...HUNTSMAN

this morning i awoke to hear my moggy meowing and carrying on. i totally ignored it, but he kept going on and on. so up i get to investigate(it was time for me to get up to get ready for work). i saw him fossicking at a large black creature on my kitchen tiles. to my surprise it was a LARGE furry huntsman! i stopped in my tracks and, observed the creture defending itself by being up on its back legs with the front ones spread trying to attack my cat when he swiped with his paws. the damn thing sprung, jumped about one metre here and there. it then sprung in my direction and landed on my foot! i screamed, i had the ashtray in my hand full of cigarette butts. that went flying in mid air, ash along with stinky butts ended up on the floor. poor mr huntsman was then murdered with the yellow pages. as for the mess from the ash tray, that stayed on the floor untill i got home from work. i had to go. i was running late.

when i got home, my nan and mum arrived. we went out for pizza and gelati! yummo...we discussed nan going into the home this thursday. mum has found a place not far from her. it will be interesting to see how my nan goes. shes so confused, has absolutely no idea whats going on! she said good bye to me and gave me a kiss. she said," im your last grandma arnt i? or am i your great grandma?" i told her shes my grandma, not my great. she chuckled to herself and i waved good bye. i think mums worried, stressing a bit, im sure all will be ok. see what happens...

April fools day."I was the fool"

bragging on about my new car today to my work friends. i told them all the details. its so exciting!!!!
Any way i had a meeting with my boss and an ANF representative about my job title. i discover that only general nurses (according to the hospitals policy) are permitted to do venepuncture. i have a certificate from a course i completed in 2001 to do such a procedure. when i was employed i was told that i could do blood taking as i have the qualification. well ive been doing this for 4 years years now, and i get told today that i am not allowed to. this is absolutely rediculous! the blood sisters of the hospital are RN Division 2's just like me! whats the difference? go figure.....
I also learn that div 2's in the emergency department do blood taking and IV cannulation. shouldnt it be "whats good for one is good for all?" As for medication administration, i find out off the ANF rep that it will probably take 18months until the protocol is effective. I dont know what to do! should i leave and find work elsewhere so i can use my skills? im very disheartened at present. After our 2hr meeting, i returned to the ward and the girls were telling me that my mobile phone was ringing. i said "Oh yeah i will check it later." i was thinking of my job and what information i just was bombarded with. i didnt care about my mobile phone. then others were comming up saying"Ange your mobile was ringing." i just said," yeah its a great tune isnt it?" Nothing was sinking in. my mind was preoccupied with other thoughts. then the ward clerk said "Ange they have played a prank on you, theres a message on your mobile about your new car."once again i really didnt take notice of what she said. so i finished my nursing duties then went and heard a message on my phone. it said:
"Hello angela, its paul here from mazda. im just ringing to let you know that unfortunately the colour titanium grey that you have ordered is not available until another four months. we have red or white only. im sorry about the inconvenience but if you could please get back to me ASAP".
stupid me believed it! i was going around saying "OMG, what am i going to do?" i was even going to call dad to see what he would say.i was a tad pissed off with everything that happened. the meeting and now this! maxine then turned around and said "ange, its not true. its aprils fools, that was the prank." i asked, "who rang me then? It was none of you guys and the ward phone numer didnt come up as private?" One of the other girls called me a dag as she said we told you we done a prank. I responded by saying,"i thought your prank didnt work as the phone number that came up was one that im not familiar with, and who was it anyway?" it was one of the other girls boyfriends. she rung him at home and told him what to say. so he rang my phone and used a very good take off of a proffessional voice. i had a laugh, and so did my work friends. i did feel like a fool.
when i got home, i told my mum about my day and all that happened. later that evening my mobile rang and i looked at the screen to see that it was my dad. i answered and said "hi dad". he put on a funny voice claiming to be incharge of the boat responsible for shipping my car over from japan. he was telling me the boat had sunk, and that i will be not be getting my car!I said" good one dad. i know its you and april fools is over!!!" we had a chuckle and a brief chat. my dad the joker...
