CHANGES...

Well, how things can change so much in a matter of weeks...

There have always been the nasty gossips at work, which is why I started to do nights to stay away from them...but it wasn't far enough!

Two carers had left recently due to the Witchy Gossip...

Then it was my turn...I was absolutely devastated and wasn't going to stay there to be anybody's scapegoat...

I gave my notice on 17th June and my last shift was on the 22nd...

Oh, yes...they were all 'surprised' when they knew it was my last shift...and the leader of the Gossip Gang actually tried to hug me. Well, I was adjusting my bra strap at the time, which was much more important!!

I was so sad to leave the residents and the three gals that I told actually cried, bless them...

There's something in the pipeline, so I guess Everything Happens For A Reason...as one door closes another one opens and all that!!

 

It was my birthday on Friday, which has got to be the worst one I've had in years...I actually let all the crap at work get to me and I was in bits...

Still today is another day!

 

 

I got a beautiful Whendi Meagher Bear, bought from my very dear friend Mary...I love Whendi's Bears and now own FOUR of them!
