Blah!
So, I'm at work. It's Sunday afternoon and I'm at work. I'd rather be in bed. There's nothing going on here, nobody has called, no emergencies to take care of... I'll have to take the garbage out. I'll do that when it's time to go though. I'm going to read some Bible to a client at aroung 4:00... basically, that's all. But I like my job... working weekends (especially Sundays) here is a whole other thing. I find it to be rather useless, but oh well. I'm gettin' paid... and in the grand scheme of things.... that's the important thing....right?
So, today the mount of Chicopee is closed. That sucks! I'm experiencing a mild bout of depression over it because I really like snowboarding...a lot! If I were at home, I'd most likely be in my bed sleeping, I think that's what depressed people do... but I'm at work, some people sleep at work... but not me. I'm a real go getter!
So Chicopee is closed. Crap. Just when I'm thinking that i'm getting a bit better at my favorite sport... the season ends, every year, it never fails. So I fell on thursday night and It hurt. The thing is that when you fall while snowboarding every part of your body hurts so intensely bad for a couple minutes so you don't know what you've really hurt badly, if anything. The only pain that has stayed with me is in my left wrist. Ah well, the freaking season is over so it will have time to heal.... stupid winter always has to leave too soon! Dang!

It's hard to believe he's gone
It's hard to believe Norwin is gone. I haven't seen him in 10 months, and he passed away this past saturday. I worked full time with him for a year and a half.
I went to the funeral... nobody should have to go to a funeral for a 15 yr old. I'll always remember his smile. It was hard work to get him to smile, but it was worth it when he did... His brothers made him smile the most, and his favorite T.V. show 'Little Bear' kept him riveted to the screen for 20 minutes every morning.
I'll never forget how he used to look up at me from his bed when I got him up every morning. He would stare at me so intensely for a few seconds, and then when he recognized me, he would just beam. Then I would spend the rest of the day trying to get his attention. Some days he would just sleep, some days he would enjoy a good play time. And we had many good talks... consisting of the words, "Goo, agoo!". That's all he was able to say, but it sure was cute. Ahh... memories.
needless to say, it was a very sad day. But he's okay now. I know he's with Jesus. I can just picture him being able to speak and walk... even run and jump. No more pain mister Norwin.

Pfffft! Praise the Lord!
They say...(I've never found out who "they"are)... that a good laugh every day will actually keep you feeling healthy. The Farting Preacher gets me every time. Oh boy! It's sooo funny, and if you don't think so, you can't be friends with me anymore... so, HEH!
