We had a couple of beautiful days and I took the opportunity to wash all my outside windows yesterday. I hate ladders and lugging them around but it seems I am the only one that will wash the windows so I do it. I think I scare all the older people in the apartments across the street because on the most part I need to stand on the top run to reach the windows and usually by the time I get up on it I have already knocked off the things I need to do the window, so I start all over again. I also never learn, used windex and paper towel to do the front window, so I fought with the scrubs and everything, got down off the ladder when I was finished and hated the streaky window. So I go inside, find a wash basin, fill it with warm water and vinegar and get some newspaper and out I go to start all over again. Water and vinegar does a way better job. When I got all the outside windows done, I came inside and took all the screens off and cleaned the inside windows. Boy am I glad that job is done until spring. I thought seeing I had them all clean maybe I should decorate for Halloween so I did the front window. The little kids that come on Halloween love it. Here it is:
Ooops guess it can not load images right now so will try later.
I also have more scrapbook pages to upload but will have to try that later too.
Tonight I will be starting an 8 week course on Palliative Care. I am looking forward to learning something new and getting out of the house. Sometimes I need a push and several times my inner self has been pushing me towards this. Everyone says I am good at sitting with the ill and dying so if for no other reason that I bring comfort to someone in their final hours, I shall do this.
Life can be funny sometimes, at one time I was at the top of my game as a paramedic, trained very well for a rural community, reaching my level 2 and within 7 years totally out of it and sitting at home now. Gawd I hate getting older and having my body decide it can no longer do these things. My mind tells me it can but too bad they can't get together eh?
Ok enough of that crap, today I must get the inside of my house cleaned and today is the day as tomorrow I will spend with my Mom and her friends at a function in Silverton. Friday I will go to a birthday luncheon with friends and then head to Swan River for a birthday party for my little nephew, Karter and Saturday I will go to a live show put on my some Dutch people in Swan River. I hope to have photos to share of it all.
Have a good day everyone.

I took a palliative care course several years ago and enjoyed being a palliative care companion afterwards. You'll enjoy the course and will make a great companion volunteer to those nearing end of life.
