Love is in the air

Today I started my new job at the hospital. And what a day. And I am exhausted. Between the long hours and the lack of no sleep, I am tired.



Some of the patients stayed up all night playing the new violin I had acquired at the second hand store.
And the truth is, these residents are eating like there is no tomorrow. I bet the delivery lady is surprised about how much food they go through in a weeks time too . Two deliveries a week.
I know I am......


So.....
We fell a little behind on our bills and was forced to sell the piano plus few other furnishings.
I did however purchase a violin. And a nice double bed.



It seems I have been away so much lately that I have missed all the events here.
Some of the patients have become .....well let's say friendly.
Friendly
is good right ?? They look happy to me.


I will have a chat with Jaws and catch up and find what is going on with the other residents.
He does however seem concerned with the other residents sleeping habits.
Poor Nitro , sleeps at the table. Of all the residents, Jaws does seem to keep to himself a lot.

He did tell me that there was an arguement going on earlier that day. It seems Sonia and Sissy had a fight. I hope it wasn't over the new bed.
By the sounds of it , I think it was over her new friend Ethan. He has been stopping over to visit with Nitro. And has become really good friends with Sissy. And I think Sonia likes him too. I don't think she is ready to settle down just yet and Sissy is.

I am not sure this is a good idea. Ethan does have a reputation with the ladies. That's what I had heard when I went to a new salon . Mostly from the woman at the salon who cut my hair.
She did look familiar . I had read about her in the paper. Something about living with a wealthy man Chance Cartwright and 6 other beautiful ladies. This kinda surprised me that she was here working from her home.
Anyways, she gave me a new haircut . I wanted to look my best for my new job. I will have to recommend her to all of my friends.



Okay back to the arguement. Looks like I had this all wrong. The arguement did turn nasty and it was over CJ !! Yikes !!

I am confused about Sissy and her relationships. I need to do some group therapy before they turn nasty towards one another.
Opps too late ......

New Friends, Small Fires and New Discoveries

What an interesting week this has been. Where do I begin.....Let's see.
Everyone seemed to be getting along nicely. I am a bit confused on the dress apparel some of the patients have been wearing, especially the undies . And why ?? I had seen them come with a suitcase and I gave them a comfy gown to wear. Looks like we will have to go shopping.


This will be our first day trip out of the house. Maybe we will stop in that second hand store I had seen in town when I had purchased this house. I hope this will lift their spirits getting out to socialize with the community. I know it would do a world of good to see some new errr ....undies.

NOOOO , it happened .....AGAIN !! YES, another blasted fire in the kitchen. This time it was even stranger than the first time !! When I first smelled the smoke I ran to the phone to call our local fire department. And this is what I had seen.....


And I couldn't believe my eyes !! There was Daphne standing in the kitchen without a stitch of clothing on ..... what in world was she thinking cooking a tv dinner in the nude.

Thank goodness the fire department showed up in time to save our kitchen from burning down.
What mystifies me is Daphne cooking in the nude !? This is not the way to meet men......
Ok Hun, shows over ... I really need to get more information about her. And a fire alarm too.


First things first I need to find some suitable employment.
Ah yes, what fortunate luck. It seems that our local hospital is in need of a medical technician. The starting rate isn't very much but I think we can manage.
I am sure they will be fine for a few hours while I am work , besides most of them are asleep during the day whilst I will be away.



For the most part most of them are getting along rather well. I haven't seen any more quarreling over the sleeping arrangements . I did however see Sonia napping on the floor. I hope she makes it to the couch next time.


She has been spending alot of time chatting on the phone with old school chums and day dreaming out the window. She doesn't talk too to the other residents much but they certainly have taken to her personality. Especially CJ !! I wonder what that is about ???


CJ is still our resident entertainer. He loves to play that piano and tell jokes for hours on end.
I think he is getting very good at it too. The other residents love to rather around the piano just to hear him play his show tunes .
Sonia has taken a real interest in him . I noticed them talking and eating dinner at the table a lot lately. I think there is more going on with those two. One night I came into the kitchen to prepare a meal and there she was holding him. I think they must have known each other before they came here. I will have to keep my eye in them both while they are together.


Sissy has made a dramatic improvement since last week. Her and Nancy have become really good friends. I wonder what they are whispering about ? Maybe she is telling Nancy where she hides that flour sack baby.
I haven't seen her carry around that flour baby in a few days . I still haven't found out where she's been hiding it. Maybe it was in that hole in the back yard ?!
It's good to see her happy though.


Poor Nitro . It hasn't been a very good week for him. It seems his old college buddy , Ethan called him up on the phone and they were reminiscing about old times .Ethan brought up how he had seen his old college sweetheart Andie in town . And he invited her over to his new place for a visit. Not sure what happened between the two. Nitro seemed to take it well hearing about her. But, I really think he misses her.


Jaws is doing better this week too. I see he has grown a liking to Daphne. She does like to carry on an interesting conversation with him. I wonder what they are talking about....odd.
At least he is up and about wandering around the house making new friends instead of sleeping the day away.


I think I have found my true love....Nancy. I have really taken a liking to her. She told me that she wants to have a large family someday. Right now I just enjoy spending time getting to know her. I hope she feels the same way about me too.
But, I know I will have to eventually tell her about my own fears. I hope she will understand.

I knew it had to happen at some point . The plumbing in this house is so old and in need of repair. Good thing I need to beef up my mechanical skills for my new job tomorrow. And it looks like things got really desperate . There's CJ taking a sponge bath in the kitchen sink. I am not sure what the others think of that though. *shrugs*

Well, off to repair that shower . Tune in next time for another update !
