A Long Day

Hello! How are you my dear blog buddies and friends. I just came home from work. I feel so exhausted and  it was a long day for me. But I am happy with my job especially seeing the residents  so excited every time they see me and looking forward when they going to see me again. Resident Care Assistant is not an easy job at all. You need to have a lot of patience and perseverance dealing with them. You have to always need and practice  presence of mind in pouring pills and giving it to them or else you will be in big trouble if you give them a wrong medication and so on….
I had fun and learned a lot of new things today. That's why,  I always excited going to work. I love to see and talk to the residents with different kind of topics from American history to current events. I feel good and so relax being with them. Most of the time it is overwhelming hearing them praise you. In my job I also see that the golden years is not that golden really.  Because seeing the pills that they have to take everyday, the aches and pains they experiencing and going to their doctors almost everyday of the week.  And sometimes I could take a peek of them inside their room, they would be looking at the window alone.  Suddenly, I feel a pinch in my heart and I feel so lonely and sad for them. Oh boy! if only I can take care of them all everyday I would. Well, guys I have to go beddy bye bye  now. I am soooo tired! Enjoyed the rest of the weekend with your family and friends everyone. 

My 1st gift  from our big boss yesterday in celebration of  Nursing Home Week 2010! It's a picnic blanket and a thank you note.
