Hello everybody, I'm back for a while
It's been a rough time for me the past several months and circumstances led up my losing my donner star (why I couldn't post here) and then my job. Today, I donated a modest amount to DU and regained my star. I still don't have a job and am going to release energy later today and tomorrow for gainful employment with more positive relationships that support and sustain my well-being. Any help in this area will be greatly appreciated. I've been working as a CNA for the past 18 years and have been getting 'burned out' doing this as greedy corporatists have been making the job very stressful and demanding the last few years. In the last three years I've worked in three different nursing homes and found my job getting worse, not better. Not only have the patient loads gotten bigger, the type of patients have become more skilled with time consuming work on ventilators, tube feeding, and psych ward people. Now, I'm not complaining about doing the job, but when you work night after night never knowing if you're going to have 23 patients or 35, well....it gets to you. I got into nursing because I wanted to make a difference in peoples' lives, not work until I was all used up! Anyway, today and tomorrow, this New Moon, I'm sending out the above energy.

1. wb..and I am glad to meet you :)
Years ago I tried working in a nursing home but I had to quit. I just couldnt take seeing all the abuse of patients..mostly due to a way too heavy work load on the caregivers.
It is impossible to take care of 23 or more patients without some having to stay forever on the toilet, some not getting turned often enough etc.
I also couldnt keep my mouth shut when I saw the elderly being treated so badly by some of the caregivers...
I just felt I was contributing to it by working there so I went into private home care instead.
I hope you get caught up in your rest and things go well for you.

2. Thank you and glad to meet you too!
I just finished todays releasing of energy for this matter and now I've got what I like to call my psychic headache. Isn't it amazing how preparation for something like this can take most of the day just for a 15 to 20 minute ritual? I'm taking it easy for the rest of tonight.

3. Dear Icymist.....
I will keep an eye out on this post until I retire...because getting rid of a headache long distance is very easy for me to do.
If you still have a headache and want it gone...let me know.
I don't help people without their permission so you must say it is ok before I will attempt to help you.
Either way it is fine with me. Just thought I would offer as it is easy to do.

4. Headache is all gone, thank you.
I wound up going to bed early last night. It was kind of you to offer.

anytime anyone has a headache and I am on line...I am happy to help.
Headaches are the easiest thing to do long distance.

7. It's good to hear from you too Ilsa.
We had one of our power outages out here in Port Orchard for most of the day. Had a can of.... cold beans..... ummmm cold beans.... for my only meal. Then when it got dark and the temperture got down to the lower sixties, well I just love these days by flashlight, lying on the couch with two blankets and a cat that may or may not lay down with me! What a way to spend the day. I'm going to go make some hot food to eat. See ya all latter.
