Next Step

Kiwi is holding her own.  Her appetite has diminished greatly.  Twice a day I try to find something that she will eat.  If I get her to eat it in the morning, she doesn't want it later in the day.  I am assuming that she wants to eat because she still sits near me when I am at the table, but then doesn't want the food.   I know that when both my mother and Aunt were sick both said they wanted to eat, but just couldn't.  It was a real struggle for both of them.  I assume that is what is going on with her.  It just breaks my heart.

I have been out of work since my company closed in 2009.  Not totally out of work, but for the most part.  I tutor at school and I am also a Per Diem waitress at an assisted living facility.   I have to find a real job this summer one that pays more than minimum wage.  So, with that in mind I decided back in March to sign up for a certified nursing assistant program that is being sponsored by the college and the local hospital. 

I figured it couldn't hurt and I should be able to find some kind of job.   I am actually looking forward to it.  The program is for 4 weeks at night (4 - 9).  The class starts tonight.  This week is all class room and next week starts the clinical.  I guess after this week there will be classes a few more times, but mostly clinical.  We'll see how it goes.


I had to go buy a set of scrubs for the clinical piece and of course because I live in boonville - I had to go out of town to find a store.   I was actually able to find a pair. 

I only have 2 weeks left for college classes.   My on-line class we are just preparing for the final and my micro-biology class & lab I am pretty much done.   I am psyched because I do not have to take the final in that class.  Yippee.

Wish me luck for tonight.
