A Grouchy Day 2/23/2010

Dear diary,

i don't know what is going on around this world today, but alot of things is surely happening with Earthquakes, peace protests, war, economy, etc. It kind of reminds me of the 1960's, but with more Checker Borad games as the politicans would play! Also some preacher dudes would say that "Jesus's seconding coming is near...!"

Everything at work is going pretty steady now as a Care Taker for old folks with Alzhiemer's disease. i'm Getting faster and faster as i wake them up and get them dress and brush their teeth for breakfast. The thing is, it might seem easy, but they will fight you about getting up... depending on the day and the mood.

As i said before, these old folks are not as nice as one would think... They can shout at you, hit you, boss you around, even race calling (that kind of piss me off)..

you know, the thing is... God created humans with a variety of different cultures, colors of skin, languages, shapes, sizes, look etc. all for the reason of creativity. Creativity with love for various variety. And Variety is great, i'm happy to eat hamburger, Roti prata, burito, roast duck, kim chi, meatloaf, etc. i mean, you can give a chicken to 10 guys from 10 different countries and you will have 10 very different dishes and taste.

Racism is just backward thinking... it's mean, it's hate, it's rude, it's childish and its judging a whole entire race....

i mean come one... we humans are all the same as one kind, we all sleep, eat, shit, shower, fart burp, etc.

This kind of got me down, hearing the nice old granny that i help saying racial slurrsss really makes me angry and at the sametime, i have to forgive them since they don't know excatly who they are anylonger, but it also lets me ponder on who they were before...


Well the drama with LoveMama (a.k.a MeanMaMa)... boy does PRAYER do wonders (God answers!!! Thanks everyone for Praying)... LoveMama, has really became LoveMama... hahaha i'm not shock nor surprise, but i was just thinking, when will God really do the work on her! And boy, has her voice became sweeter and less yelling. She even help me change some diapers and also didn't yell at me and even remind me about certain things that i need to remember and do. Again, thanks for the awesome prayers and of course we have to thank God for listening and answering!!!

Oh one thing, please pray for LoveMama's husband who works in a steel factory and sprang his arm...

Also please pray for my hernia and it is getting BEtter and smaller!!!

To comfirm that hernia can be heal by exercising... one new resident moved in and he used to be a football couch for a famous college! So i ask Couch-KillBill doesn know anything about hernia. And this guys can still alot of things, i don't know how forgetful he is.... but he knew alot about health and exercise and also about hernia! He told me that it can be heal by exercise to make the muscles stronger, so that pouch or whatever won't fall. so please please please keep on praying for me to do my exercise and let the muscles be build around the hernia area and fit that piece of organ right back to place. Its not a disease its just a freaking hernia!

Couch-KillBill wears his coach hat to the dinning hall everyday. Plus he can't really walk straight, so he needs to use a walker to walk. He's a firm stern man and he doesn't take any bullshit from some of the caretakers yelling.

Anyways... at times i get bore with this whole daily routine... its repeat and repeat and reapeat... kind of like "Groundhog's Day" (the movie) for them. At times i love it, and at other times i hate this job. I still need to get use to the morning waking up and showers and then i'm gonna try to get them all in a circle like how we do it in Chruch(hahaha). so that we can play some games or group activities... after breakfast, we just play some 1920's Benny Goodman music (which is good!) and they just do the same old puzzle and the same old rip magazines and thats it (which is bad).

I heard that Majong is good for them. So i'm gonna ask the folks at work if i can bring my majong set to work... that should be fun! (please Pray for me about this!!!!)

Oh yeah... Mrs. Rosy is a tall lady that loves my puma shoes. I always thought she was a calm and cool old lady that knows that she has alzheimer's and is always very polite. Well yesterday, so one sat on her chair or something... Mrs. Rosy took off her shoes and starts shouting.... "Don't you come near me MotherFer... i'm gonna beat jaHhhAAA ass~! Woooooooweeeee and then this afternoon, i was trying to change her roommate's diaeper... as i was about to close the door, she goes "What you be doing with my door! Don't you touch that! This is my room too...."

So i'm still getting to know all these residents. Its's been about a month or so now...
