Anybody want to talk to me ? Show some DU love I AM BORED !

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

Its Sunday night - its cold outside. I am actually looking forward to going to work tomorrow. My mind feels like mush.

[cwydro]

1. I wish I was looking forward to work...

:hi:

[Tony Soprano]

17. Me too!

My work is seasonal...hence my boredom.

[Midlodemocrat]

2. Sweetie, How's your mom doing?

I think I must have missed an update. Hope she is doing well.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

4. My mom is doing well.

Each day that goes by she is getting better. The nurses say that she is doing better than expected. She is bored in the hospital. She is getting her rest as much as possible. This past week she was on so much medication. During one of her moments she told me " you don't have to wait to have a baby ..." I was like WTF ! I think she wants a grandchild but I can't give that yet for a couple of reasons. 1) I am not ready 2) Again I am not ready - my cousin has a baby so he will be the baby of the family for now 3) I think I am the last person who should raise a child 4) I am scared that I might raise a child like me that ended up depressed. And she remembers that she told me that - I am trying to forget it, I can't even get a boyfriend LOL.

I don't know when she is coming home. But it has been weird not having her here. There is a void. Before this accident (her aneurysm) happened I was thinking about moving out - last week I stopped thinking about it .And this past weekend I started thinking that it might be a good idea for me to go because I don't want to cause stress or be a burden.

I feel a bit overwhelmed when I go to the hospital - I don't know what to do when I get there. I just sit there. I don't know what to do. She wants me to come there and visit but when I get there its all negative talk sometimes so I just read a book in the corner. I don't know what to do. I know she does'nt mean it but this is has she always been . Oh well.

11. One thing to remember about something like what your mom has gone through

It is a life changing event for her. She was confronted with her mortality and she survived. There is no question that she is going to be mindful of that and perhaps a little 'off' by the standards of people who haven't faced this.

Give it time. And give yourself time to heal from the scare. It's important for your own growth and happiness.

3. Wow, It's Cold Outside Here, I'm Looking Forward To Work

and my mind is mush.

So, what kind of work do you do?

I work in a geriatric psych unit as a clinical social worker and supervisor.

Today has been a loooong day.

We need some excitement in the lounge

:hi:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

6. I work for this man who makes overpriced clothes.

I see his merchandise everyday and I wonder how the hell is he a billionaire. I get paid lots of money to make sure what is supposed to be there is there for 8 hours a night while you are asleep. Oh so much fun.

[SPKrazy]

8. Well, You Are Looking Forward To It

so that can't be all bad?

:hug:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

10. The plus side is that I can work alone and do my own thing.

The only thing is that this week I can't really get my talk time in with my other friends in my department because we have some big wigs from the office in NYC coming in for a SURPRISE visit. And pray that they don't ask me anything because I get nauseous around bigwigs with clipboards who right down everything. LOL I remember when one of them came to audit my old department when I still worked there , they told the managers that I was hard to keep up with because I worked so fast and they could'nt find me as I worked LOL ;)

[SPKrazy]

12. That Is Pretty Funny

they couldn't keep up with you

and they couldn't find you as you worked

best way to be around auditors probably.

I dread auditors and inspectors, and accreditation people.

:hi:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

29. In actuality I was just working how I normally work.

And that is FAST - once I get my daily assignments I get it done.

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

30. Too Fast For The Auditors Though!

good for you

:applause:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

5. Go watch this!

It's a comedian named Mark Day. This is entitled Bushpocolypse. He's freaking hilarious. Oh and did I mention he has a hot Scottish accent?

[SPKrazy]

7. It Is Hilarious

this guy is a riot!

Iraq is different from Vietnam, there's no Marlon Brando up the river with the natives and no Martin Sheen going up the river to behead him



:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


good find

:hug:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

9. And charlie Sheen won't take his place...

Because there are no women dressed in burkhas on every street corner yelling "Me love you long time" to every American GI. Or something like that. :rofl:
Duckie

[SPKrazy]

13. Yeah That Was It

or something like it

"me love you long time"

poor Charlie Sheen?

nahhh

:rofl:

[Tony Soprano]

16. Southpawkicker

there you are again. I think we are glued to these keyboards! Thanks for the personal message by the way....first one in my DU inbox!

[SPKrazy]

22. Hey, DU is FUN!

and for people like me with no life, it is a way to pass time

[Tony Soprano]

27. I think you just described me

re: having no life!
I read in your earlier post that you were a social worker in a geriatric psych ward? That has GOT to be challenging and trying!
Yep, I'm glad I found this site. I bet it was WILD prior to Nov. 6th and a HUUUGE party Nov. 7th!

[Tony Soprano]

14. I'm bored, too

and my mind IS mush, haha. But I'll talk to ya!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

15. Nice to meet ya Tony Soprano !

I am always bored on the weekends. All of my friends are out doing other things.

[Tony Soprano]

18. Nice to be met!

Don't let my screen name fool ya, I'm a pretty good guy. Of course so is Tony. For a sociopath. So...what is a "peridot"? A flower?

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

19. Its my birthstone for the month of August.

[Tony Soprano]

20. Cool!

I wasn't that far off, Flower...stone...whats the difference, eh? Don't dread going to work tomorrow. I wish I could go. My work is seasonal and the season is OVER!

[SeattleGirl]

21. Hey CP! I read your post above, saying your mom is doing better.

I am so glad to hear that. :bounce:

As to your boredom, that sucks. I hate being bored too. But I'm glad you came here; lots of entertaining folks around the Lounge, so hopefully they can erase the boredom!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

25. Yeah she is doing really good.

Right now she is just getting some rest. Her headaches are the only thing bothering her now but the doctor's say that thats normal. She is doing better than they expected. I think it was a sign from God (everything that happened) to finally make her stop smoking and to make her rest her body.

[SeattleGirl]

26. Sometimes we need a really strong sign to get the message.

I hope she does quit smoking and gets some rest once she gets back to a more regular routine.

[BikeWriter]

23. Waving a hand at you, Pretty Lady!

:hi:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

24. Awww I am blushing.

I wish that this pretty lady had a boyfriend. I have everything else I want but I would love to spend my evenings on the weekends watching television in bed with someone special.

[BikeWriter]

28. I don't understand that as lovely as you are, and a sweety, too.

:shrug:

[haf216]

31. I not looking forward to fork tomorrow, but I'm board.

Something about Sunday nights, I'm aways board. I can't even get in to the Denver game, and they never show their games around here.
