Looking back

Hm, do you ever look back at past events, situations, etc and just ask yourself "Why?" I was talking to one of my coworkers the other day, and we got on the subject of relationships and friendships in general and it got me thinking. Then, I was just cleaning out my inbox on yahoo going through all sorts of old emails... It makes me sad and mad at all the effort we sometimes put into friendships only to have them fizzle away. But, as I've always said, it can't be a one-sided friendship. I've extended myself so many times to people only to have them not hold up their end of it. It gets tiring to always be the one trying, So, I've finally decided to wash my hands of these "friendships" and try not to feel too sad at the loss of communication. There will always be those people that I'll see randomly and be able to pick up with, but that's as far as some of them will go. Anywho.. "The frienship that can cease has never been real."

Dum de dum. Melissa is moving to Charleston the end of the month! I don't think it's really that much closer to here than Nashville is, maybe an hour, but it seems closer. She's taking a nanny type job for an 18 month boy.. so I'm going to have an excuse now to get to a beach! Hot damn! Finally, it's only been like 3 years since I've set foot in the ocean.

I'm going to Atlanta in a week to meet up with the 2 E's.. Erica and Emily. Erica is driving from Baton Rouge, and we're both staying with my sister. It's a bit of a drive to Emily's from where we'll be staying, but hopefully we'll be able to see her for a good chunk of time. And, find fun things to do while in ATL. Maybe we can go out on the town one night too! I've never been "out" in Atlanta. Trez is going to be there the same weekend we are, so I told him he might have to come find us and take us somewhere fun! Scandalous! Someone might actually meet him. :-O

Still no word on our potential diabetic client coming in. We're getting (or maybe got already) a new girl who is a bad cutter. She was in the psych hospital for 3+ months, managed to cut herself up pretty bad a few times in there, and spent multiple times in seclusions and restraints. Oh great. WE're going to debate to death the intake of a girl with diabetes, but let a known cutter and suicidal child come in with no discussion at all. The damn Children's Home is going to self destruct very very soon. I've got my raise, now I just need to get my QP status, and I can seriously be outta there. If I stick it out till August-ish, Tina has said she'll bring me along to the place that she and her mom are starting up. I have to have my QP certification and I'll be good to go! Word. AND, she said she's going to be making in a day what she makes in 3 or 4 days at TCH. SHIT! I hope she follows through and brings me along. That'd rock. I'm so used to living on my measly salary (both at TCH and APSU) that I won't know what to do with that kind of money!!

I'd better skoot, I feel like I'm coming down with a cold or something again. Better get sleep while I can.
