Black and Blue

I am utterly and completely exhausted. I’m ditching classes today because I know that I would fall asleep in them. My first class is a Communication’s lecture; we’re learning about pronouns. I think it’s safe to skip that one. My second and last class of the day is Computers, and I really can’t tell with that teacher today. I swear I would probably bite her head off if she uttered a single word. Her voice is just so annoying and gah!!

Anyways, I worked last night. From 2pm until 8am this morning; I was the one-on-one to a resident to ensure he was having fun and not getting into trouble from 2pm until 10pm. I also brushed all the residents teeth before bed. That’s when my stupidity made itself apparent yet again.

I forgot that one of our residents is a biter if given the opportunity. While brushing his teeth, I decided to stick my finger in his mouth to part his lips more so I could clean the back of his teeth. Stupid move. Obviously, he bit down; and hard. I said “Ow, quite biting me” and tried to pull my finger out. It took a minute, but I finally pulled it loose. It hurt so much, and I had to hold back tears because not only was HCW in the bathroom brushing teeth with me, but he was brushing the teeth of Mr. Freakout and if I were to cry he would have gone crazy.

But at least I wasn’t the only dense person in that bathroom. HCW asked “what’s wrong with you?” and I told him that I just got bite, which would explain me saying “Ow, quite biting me” and me swearing. HCW then asked me if I had just gotten bitten. Um, ya. Dumbass. Lucky you’re hot.

I almost had to go to the hospital. The shift head said that any open bite wounds ended up in a trip to the hospital. Luckily, mine wasn’t open. It only bleed because I pulled it out, not because the resident had broken my skin. It still hurts like a bitch though, and it’s black and blue. But I learned my lesson. I also learned thanks to the shift head that I should not have pulled my finger out but rather pinched his nose or pretended to bite him back. HCW couldn’t have told me that though when he was standing right beside me. Nope.

But the rest of the night was okay. After everyone was in bed, HCW and I did a bit of flirting - I think. He told me scary stories and we heard noises from the basement so we went to go check it out. Then he laughed at me because I ran upstairs haha. When he did grocery shopping he picked me up a coffee from Tims, then locked me outside. As I was opening the door with my key, he was joking around and pushed it shut, causing my coffee to spill on me and the key in the doorknob to stab my hand. He felt bad, but serves him right.

So at least I’m talking to him now, and I don’t think he hates me. I told him he always looks pissed off, and he said a lot of people said that but he rarely was.

And we’re going bowling! Well maybe. A bunch of people who I work with and I decided we should go bowling on a day we all have off; so we’re going on the 8th!

Damnit my finger hurts so much. I’m going to bed.

P.S I am super amused that one of my categories for this post is “stuff that bites” because boy, some stuff really does bite!

My head will explode shortly.

Ok so I finally finished that community scan project that was due in Aboriginal Emphasis today. I have a splitting headache and I have to go to work for 1opm tonight. Yah, it’s another overnight sleep so I’ll be getting paid to sleep…but still, I don’t actually sleep during overnight sleeps.

I’m like The Princess and the Pea. I need a really comfortable bed in order to sleep peacefully, or I get a horrible nights rest - if anything. But there is someone really cool working. I worked with her on my first ever overnight sleep, and we got along great. She’s the first person I’ve met in this town who I can actually say I get along with perfectly fine. She doesn’t get on my nerves in anyway, and we are a lot a like; sarcastic, cynically, and sick of girl bull. I know, I’ve heard a million times from catty chicks that they hate drama, then they turn around and GIVE it, but I don’t think that this girl is like that. For starters, she’s 28 and seems older then that because of the way she acts.

Plus she cooks me really good food. Well not me per say but the food she cooks is amazing none the less!

Anyways, I have half an hour to get my other assignment started. It’s due tomorrow and I really do not want to do it. Apparently it requires a lot of research and I effing hate research. If I liked researching things, I would become a good damn researcher!

But enough babbling. I’m tired. I hope everyone else is enjoying Halloween tonight; let me know how much fun you had kay, cause I sure as heck didn’t have any. Although there is a CSI special on at 10 tonight; I’m going to watch it from the overnight sleep room. Nobody better puke tonight or I’ll smash some heads together.

Anyways, Happy Halloween!

For the first time in history its gonna start raining men

That song has been stuck in my head since Thursday because I made a wicked cool dance to it with several members and volunteers from the Rec group. I think it is a very suitable title, so suck it.

Sorry, I am very cranky. My back is still in an ever unholy amount of pain, and I can’t even go to get it checked out - I can’t find my stupid health card. I know where it is - in the black wallet with gray squares - but I don’t know where that is. And I won’t be spending the day sleeping or doing homework, like I should, because McPout needs help setting up for her huge Halloween party tonight.

Lately, I have not had good luck. Reading week has been a horrible time for me. I started it out with getting sat on and then hurting my back more and more each day at work.

Then there was last night. Oh last night. I was supposed to work a 5 hour shift and go home to bed. The person who was scheduled to work the overnight sleep wasn’t able to come in, so they asked me if I could. I figured, why the heck not? Sleep for 7 hours and make 50 bucks, then work for 2 hours and get paid my hourly wage. It’s easy money.

How was I supposed to know that I wouldn’t get to sleep at all really? I didn’t know the damn place is like haunted. How else could you explain the child’s laughter coming from the basement when all residents were sleeping? Or the smell of a funeral home in the overnight sleep room? Or the generally uncomfortable feeling one gets when being anywhere near that area of the house?

So instead, I kept the full time night shift girl company. We shared spooky stories - which didn’t help me get to sleep at all - and she was kind enough to give me information I would actually find useful. Such as what sets off a psychotic resident. You know, stuff that would come in handy. Then around 3:30 in the morning, I finally gave up and went down to the really creepy overnight sleep room. It was that or expose myself to a somewhat dangerous situation. I kept the TV on loud and the lights on. I woke up every hour on the hour and felt totally uncomfortable all night morning long.

Now my mom is coming to pick me up, and then I have to go help McPout set up. I’m going to sleep on the way, sorry McPout! I need it! I really do!

But I’ll leave you all with this wicked picture of the costume:

Ya, and the eye makeup rocked too:
